silent arrow Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 I know most bowhunters are brand name crazy but i want to know what type of broadhead you use brand, blade count,grain and why in your opinion is it the best broadhead. I use a 4 blade 100gr. Magnus Stinger in my opinion its whats best for me b/c it does its job each and everytime. It delivers quick and clean kills massive entry and exit wounds.Heavy bloodtrails.it shoots like a field point.they arent going to cost you $60-$70 they are priced anywhere from $20-$30 and have a lifetime guarentee no matter if its your fault or not. you dont pay for broadheads you have to put together yourself. your not buying popularity b/c micheal waddell uses them. your are buying a very reasonably priced killing machine that is razor sharp straight out of the pack,and its virtually indestructable.

Squirrelhunter91 Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 I've tried a bunch of different broadheads over the years (Muzzy 75gr & 100gr 3 blade, G5 Strikers & Montecs, NAP Spitfire, Scorpion, Bloodrunner, etc) However, I've shot 100gr Slick Trick Magnums for the last 5 seasons and have taken over a dozen deer with them in that time frame. That being said, I have found them to be extremely deadly. They are better than razor sharp out of the package. If that's even possible Their low profile design allows them to penetrate easier than other designs and the blood trails are absolutely phenomenal. I haven't had a deer go over 40 yards after a Slick Trick zipped through it. A lot of that has to do with shot placement as well but the head is what does the actual damage. The cutting diameter is small ( 1 1/8" ) but it gets the job done. The small cutting diameter however did cost me a dandy gobbler last Spring but lesson learned, wide mechanicals for turkeys. The entrance and exit holes are great too. They literally look like shotgun slug holes and the deer don't go far. I do experiment each year and try a new broadhead out each year. For 2010, I tried the NAP Blood Runner 3 blades. Will never waste my money on them again. For whatever reason, I keep coming back to Slick Trick Mags. Can't beat their efficiency and their price is reasonable too, only $26 for 3 heads. And if they keep producing results like this: I'll continue to be a loyal Slick Trick customer.

need2hunt Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 In the past I have used Muzzy's, and G5 Montec and Strikers. Over the last 4 years I've used variations of NAP Spitfires (pro, edge, maxx) It's the first time I've went with an expandable and I've had nothing but great luck with them. Fly exactly the same as my field points, leave a big hole and great blood trails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything he said!! Plus recently I have learned this about my Tricks: We have upgraded the steel in our blades across the line. Gary requested the best steel from lutz for our blades. We are using there Mercedes Grade steel. We are going from knife grade steel to custom knife grade steel. 25% stronger and better edge retention. I too will continue to be a loyal Trick customer.

The Kid Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 (edited) I use rage broadheads 2 blade 100 grains, regardless of what people say about these blades I've never had anything go wrong with these blades, never had them open in flight shooting 340ft per second, and there pretty durable I dont reuse broadheads so there really sharp when useing them, for me the price doesn't make a bit of difference to me, if I have a 150 inch deer in front of me i'm not going to worry about my broadhead paying the extra 15 dollars to me is worth it, but the real reason on why i shoot this broadhead has everything to do with shot placement, 100% of the time if you hit a deer double lung with any broadhead on the market your going to kill that deer, but if you hit that deer marginal, let say back in the guts your going to kill that deer but with most broadheads you might loose a bloodtrail due to fat plugging the hole or the deer will go a great distance, with the rage broadheads you wont have to worry bout the hole closing on you and even on a marginal hit they wont go to far.

m gardner Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 (edited) I use Montecs most days and on the windy days I switch to NAP Shockwaves. I've always used a 3 or 4 blade head so the hole cannot close(one blade will always cut across muscle grain). They both land in the same spot and the Shockwaves fly better in the wind. Never had a problem with either and I have a knack for putting a sharp edge on steel. That's why I haven't changed.

swohiodave Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Mostly stick to NAP Thunderheads, uncle used them, dad used them, i use them.......all of our dead deer would agree that these broadheads killed them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 I have used a lot of heads over the years. Right now the head of choice is one that was developed here in NJ and sold to NAP. They are Razorcaps. They are a cut on contact 3-blade that inflicts a lot of damage and fly like a field point. New Archery products discontinued them and changed the design a bit. They are now called Hellrazors. I use 100 grain heads. When I run out of Razorcaps, which might be awhile, I'll think about switching.

Prairiepredator Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 I have always used the muzzy 4 blade 100 grain. I have only shot a mule deer and a black bear with them but they did a great job and they didn't go very far after being shot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Shooter Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 I have used Muzzy heads since I started bow hunting in 1992. I started out with the 100 grain heads, to be honest why I started using them it was because of all the video's with Dan Fitzgerald and the success he had with them. I haven't looked beack since. I have tried a couple of other heads like the G5 Tekans and the Rage 2 heads killng a couple of deer each with them. I love the design of th eTekans but didn't like the entryhole I got with them and the Rage has it's pro and con's as well, to many to get into. Muzzy is well established, well built and I've had great success with them, I switched to the 75 grain heads in 2000 because of an accuracy or consistancy issues witht he 100 grian heads. I'd have a flier or two out of each 6 pack I got with them. Using the 75''s I sacraficed 3/16 of an inch on cutting diameter but that didn't slow down the deer falling to the Muzzy head. Bloodtrails didn't deminish either, I've had great blood trails with the exception of hitting deer high and you get that with any head on the market. i've taken over 30 deer with the 75 grain heads, busted through shoulder bones and still had pass throughs, the accuracry and consistancy of the heads right out of the pack is awesome. With the introduction of the new MX3 head and a 3/16 cutting diameter I can have the cutting diameter of the 100's back again but I doubt very seriously I will use them. Since I have over 50 of the original 75 heads and I see no reason to switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntnfish Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 I do not know what the brand name is but on my first bow used a brand I found at Walmart. It is a fixed broadhead but it flew so true. Did not have too adjust sights at all between broadhead and fieldpoints. As I moved up to a faster bow I switched to NAP broadheads with great success. I am still afraid to try any mechanical no matter how many celebrities endorse it. I will shot there target just not sure about expandible broadheads.

PotashRLS Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 I have been shooting Grim Reapers for nearly 10 years now. Fly like field points and put lots of blood on the ground. Most deer fall within sight. In the past I have killed deer with Razorback 5s, Satellites, Muzzys, Rocky Mountain Expandables, and Eastman Firstcuts.

BOHNTR Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Wac'em Triton 100 grain 3-blade......I've never tested a better shooting head. It's also the "original" broadhead of it's design.......lots of copies now but not as good as the original, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohiobucks Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 I've shot the G5 Montec for the last 3 season with great results. I like them because after they blow through a whitetail, I can clean them up, run them across my flat stone, and back on the arrow for more action. Great heads IMO. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBg4aYBAdt0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcot2773 Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Muzzy 3 blade 125gr heads. Shot NAP Razorbak's, G5 montecs, Slick tricks (my worst performing head by the way) and Muzzy did the job for me really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 I shoot Rage 2-blade 100gr heads, because they've always worked for me. I've always got a pass thru with a 3" gash/wound channel on both sides. I've always had them open. However, some hate the things for whatever reason. Any deer I've seen shot with them has had the same outcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slugger Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 I like 125 grain Razor Tricks. They have everything I look for in a broadhead, strong, true , razor sharp, cut on contact, and cost effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unioncountyslayer Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I shot Muzzy 4 blades for years, but switched to G5 about 3 years ago. I shoot both Montecs and Strikers, whichever I can find. 100 grain in both heads. The cut and durability are top-notch. I've killed over 5 deer with a single head. The Montecs are easy to sharpen and very strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
