abear491 Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Me and a buddy of mine over the weekend hit two deer. I used a crimson talon and he used a muzzy 3 blade. We had good blood but unluckyl never got either of the. Needless to say ti wasn't a good weekend at all.I was just wandering what every recommends and how the shoot.. Just details basically. For example 1. Like what you like 2. What you dislike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cray8705 Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 I use Muzzy mx-4's (4 blade) Both the deer last year that I got had great blood trails, the doe only went about 25 yds and dropped, the buck went about 80 yds but I had excellent blood all the way to him.

Jeramie Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Muzzy is one of the best fixed blade heads on the market. I shoot a 100grn muzzy three blade. They leave a good hole and hit hard. The one thing to keep in mind is that archery equipment will not do well with a marginal shot. A single lung shot with a bow can result in an animal traveling miles, miles, and more miles. Make sure youre using very sharp heads, try to take out both lungs or the heart, and dont take any risky shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 (edited) Don't get hung up on your broadheads, both of those are proven killers and a tractor trailer couldn't pull the deer that have been stacked up by either one. It's all about shot placement, and sometimes some luck (or lack thereof) comes into play big time. Make sure your bow is shooting the broadheads true, if not then fix it or shoot mechanicals. Just my 2 cents. I buried a muzzy in a doe's shoulder 2 years ago and didn't find but one drop of blood. It was all my fault, it takes a tremendous amount of energy for a BH to hit the main shoulder bone of a grown deer and follow through to an exit hole. I should have hit her back farther, but these things happen. Best luck to you on the next attempt.

MUDRUNNER Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 ^^^^^Great post Redneck. Muzzy's have been dropping deer for years and are one of the most reputable heads out there. I've shot Crimson Talons for about 5 years now without any complaints. The only deer that made it more than about 40 yards was a liver hit doe last season. She went about about 150 yards, but my shot was simply too far back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TN Bucknasty Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 I'm having excellent luck with the Shwackers this year. I've killed five so far this season with them, and they've all been clean pass-throughs with excellent blood trails and no tracking jobs over 75 yards. I was shooting the Magnus Stinger Buzzcuts last year. They penetrated very well, but the blood trails were not nearly as good as what I'm getting now.

stcif Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 You can split hairs all day long on the details. I actually enjoy talking about the technical stuff but it all boils down to shot placement. One mistake people make is they don't practice with their broadheads enough. Shoot the broadheads often. Put the field points away well before the season starts. My two cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 um yea as others have said shot placement is key. if the shot was truely good then you can still go after a deer right away and have it run as far as it can and possibly lose the trail. aside from those words I can't say much more because i wasn't there to see what happened.

Why would you drop your southern drawl to say something on the forums? Does it make you self conscious?

abear491 Posted October 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 I would agree with that all the way.. When I hit that one sunday I didn't held perfect i put the 25 pin on the deer and it was about 28 yards I hit it a little low but still felt i should have killed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will_in_cky25 Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Well I started out this season hunting with those G5 Tekans but I was totaly not impressed with them, I'm not sayin they are bad by anymeans, they fly dead on field points. I went back to using my stinger's cause they go through bone alot better than the mechanicals i was using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
