Epicst Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Just. Wondering if I should go with fixed or mechs. I usually use 100 grain. Rage or grim reaper for deer. But some people say don't trust mechs on a bear. Thanks. 1 month before my hunt. Can't wait much longer!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muleyman Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Go with muzzy, they are cheep, they are like $38 for 6. I shot my bear with muzzy 3 blades, and Im only shooting 45lbs, and I made a pass threw, my bear ran 50 yards. My brother also used muzzy when he shot his bear, but he was using the 4-blades abd his bear ran 10 yards. You can not go wrong with muzzy. Good luck hunting, have fun, and let me know how u make out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epicst Posted August 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Thanks for the info. Sounds like I should go with what's proven. Hopfully ill be able to let you guys know how the hunt went with some pictures of me next to a bear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 I'd go with fixed over mechanical. I used 100 grain steelforce phatheads this past spring, but never saw a bear from the bow stand. Took 2 bears with the rifle from my ground blind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybertech_hound819 Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 iv shot 4 bears now with rage 100's only had one bad trip and it was my own fault. any broad head will kill a bear you just have to make the shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUTNSTRUT Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 Go with what you are used to and have had luck with, your Reapers and Rage heads will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
need2hunt Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 Ive killed two with spitfires and they did an awesome job. Whatever broadhead you choose, just be patient and wait for a good broadside or quartering away shot. Good shot placement and he wont go far.

Epicst Posted August 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Thanks for all the info guys. Next question is with 5 weeks before I go is it to early to start my bait mix??or should I go ahead and start it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybertech_hound819 Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 i dont see any reason not to start it as long as your laws say you can. i think it would get him used to beein there.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakota Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 I prefer Rage broadheads myself, but my Muzzy MX-3 100 grains are a close second! Go with whatever you are the most confident with. Granted, I've never been bear hunting with a rifle let alone archery tackle. Dakota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
