Broadhead choice

Thanks for the Karma guys. My hunting buddy and I have made a serious commitment this year to go down in the deep holes and work harder than we have the last few years. Apparently all the easy, stupid elk are dead...

I'll post on return, hopefully with pictures of critters
 
I was looking at another one of your threads and almost got started up about broadheads, but this seems like a better place. I hate to seem so partial to a certain type, and there are alot of people who will tell you all kinds of different stuff about a broad head. I kill several whitetail a year with my bow, and have a couple close friends who kill a good many too. We have all tried alot of different products, but from experience the only broadheads I would spend money on are Muzzy and Thunderhead. They are made alot alike, and debating which one of those are better is truly apples and oranges. With the muzzy and the thunder head you can replace your blades and reuse your heads several times. Every store everywhere stocks 100 grain 3 blade muzzy and thunder head. You can even shoot practice blades in the muzzy tips. Also they are tuff and I have never had one come apart or fragment.

Other heads I have seen shot with very poor results: Crimson Talon, Steel Force, Satellite, and several Mechanicals. Nothing quite stacks up to the thunder heads or muzzy. I shoot 100 gr. thunderheads from a 60lb bow. Its very common for the thunderheads to pass through a deer and the arrow be 4-6 inches down into the ground.

A perfect example of a fixed blade head outperforming a mech. head that you can see for yourself: Watch the Drury Outdoors videos they are sponsored by a mech. head company and they hardly ever get a pass through! Then watch a muzzy video. Mostly all pass throughs. The ones we have came from walmart for 9$. Check it out it's very obvious.

I prefer 1 3/16 at bare minimum. I've been using rocket expandables that have a 1.5" cut w/ great luck. I also used muzzy's in the past. The expandables shoot exactly like field tips, fixed blades do not. BUT...Fixed blades leave a huge entry hole that expandables sometimes do not. So...pick your poison...Expandables are much safer, especially if you have small kids around. That is why I switched to them. I like the chizzle point. I do not like serated blades...They fill w/ hair and tinue and tend to not cut as well with that stuff on em...My $.02 worth...:cool:
