Broadheads ugh!!!!

[Ckirk4bama]

I have shot rage broad heads for about two years, they get good reviews and I have heard all good things about them. However, I really just don't like the fact that you can only shoot them once(like most mechanical heads). I have thought about muzzy phantoms or the muzzy three blades but I have heard that they require a lot of tuning, I don't mind but I targets shoot a lot during the season too so I would rater get something that flies true to a field point. Which leads me to my question what broad heads do you shoot? And what broad heads do you guys think shoot truest to a field tip?

If I have a trophy buck in range, I know I want a rage on my arrow. I know they cost more, but I'm not wanting 2nd best when I got a buck of a lifetime at 40 yds. The durability factor of rage is not the best, agreed, but I still want the most margin for error. I haven't shot many other mechanicals, other than rage and Swhacker, but rage seem to hit the same as my field tips.

I can't remember all the heads but these are a few over the past thirty years of bowhunting.
I have not only shot these heads, but I have taken MULTIPLE deer with almost all of these heads. And the few I never made it to the woods with, I was either on the blood trail, or in camp with guys who did use them.

All of these heads did the job. But some were VERY poor at it. In fact, I had a couple heads I would NEVER put back in my quiver. I will let a head perform bad ONE time. And we are through.

Choosing a broadhead for you needs to be personal. I do not endorse a promote any head based on selfish reasons. I am not sponsored by any company.

But I always consider a persons economic capability and shot frequency when recommending a broadhead. If the person shoots s bunch of deer every season, and or has deep pockets, some of the more expensive heads might be just for them.

If however, the person has little or no experience killing deer by arrow, then this same person might need to STILL consider some of the more expensive heads.

The largest cutting diameter, and MOST accurate shaving sharp head one can afford is the best head for anyone.

IMO rage are the most over hyped broad head ever made. Yes they are good heads but there are others that do a good job.

I shot the G5 strikers last year and really liked them. They were easy to tune and built strong. I am just not a fan of mechanical heads, with all the moving parts on a bow, if a deer runs off after I shoot I don't want to worry that something might have happened to the head.

 

[muddyboots]

I absolutely hated mechanical broadheads. With that being said I tried a rage and now thats what i use.

Honestly, there are a few mechs out there that do as well, or better when you consider price, thatn Rage.

I personally like the BPS Gator XP.

Probably so. I bought several at about half price and when i use them up i may try something else.

 

[AlabamaSwamper]

I shoot Rage. If I shoot three deer with them that is $40 well spent. OF course replacement blades are available like most other heads.

I've got several different brands in my arsenal but none are any more durable once shot at a live target. Still got to either change or sharpen blades.........or you should anyway.

Roll tide! Good to see a fellow bammer here ha ha I think I'm going to make a special rammer jammer thread here after the third saturday in oct.

 

[Roost 1]

Wasp SST Hammer are the BEST fixed blade head I have ever shot. Very durable and fly like practice points. Last yr I tried Rage and was very disappointed. After losing a doe and and a turkey I switched to Shwackers and thats what I will be staying with as far as mechanicals go...but if the big boy steps out I want the arrow with the Wasp on the end of it...

 

[horn master]

I shoot 100 grain 4-bladed muzzy's. I average 5 deer a year with a bow and never had a problem with them.

 

[ShaneHallum]

Swacker.. great head to shoot.

 

[BowGuy84]

I'll have rage 2 blade, killzOne and slick tricks in my quiver opening day.

Killed 14 with the rage over past few years.

 

[UTGrad]

I've got 6 Rage heads I want to get rid of...PM me if interested. I'm thinking $40. I would like to add a 3 blade chisel tip to the quiver possibly this year.

 

[bswarchery]

Muzzy 125 grain 3 blade has been my choice. Love 'em and don't think I will ever change.

 

[W.Seay]

Swhackers!

Last Season, my son and I killed 17 deer with Magnus Stinger 4 blade 100 grain.
We then packed all 17 heads up, and sent them back to Magnus who promptly sent us 17 NEW heads AND a couple t-shirts.

It cost us ZERO.

THe heads have a lifetime guarantee.

Switched to these this year also after the bow shop I deal with done a field test on them. They shot several at a metal dumpster and not one of them broke.

Mine fly like a dart also....

I called the Company and have spoken with the market man several times. He says it is their niche to produce and sell a head with a lifetime warranty.

I guess the way they make money is that most people (myself included) will lose heads every year. Guess what head I replace my lost heads with?

Also, they are a VERY high performing broadhead. In ALL categories including field (actual deer) kills.

My son and I now own about 35 heads between us and will probably, like every other season, buy another set of three this season.

THe BEST thing about this head is the company. (and the head is GREAT too)

I like the long sharp cutting surface of the Magnus stingers. Not the biggest hole but it cuts a clean wound channel that seems to keep the blood flowing. IMO with the gentle slope of the long blades the deer just don't seem to take off like a bat out of heil like they do with a steep blade angle broadhead. I've had a few just stand there after the shot with blood pouring out and finally fall over. Those Mag Snuffers ss are sweat also.

I used Grim Reapers 1 season. Left one of the best blood trails I've ever had. I just like to try different broadheads that's the only reason I only have 1 kill with them.
I'm shooting Shwackers again this year. I killed a doe last year with them and could follow the blood trail from my stand, all 30 yards of it.

 

[SPickle]

I shoot Rage! They may be high to purchase but well worth the money! I shot muzzy and then rockets prior to the Rage and will never go back!They fly true and open a big hole

 

[BAMA BOW MERKER]

Shoot what ya want, they all kill in the lungs. I know ive killed several deer with a bow, but the rage gives you the largest margin for error. I've shot everything from old school wal mart sattlelites to schwackers. MUZZY AND RAGE!
