Catman just sent me a PM. I could not believe it. Some of you idiots actually use mechanical broadheads then cry when you lose a deer. Good Lord! wake up and learn to hunt! And quit being so namby-pamby. After all, it is just a dumb deer.
Bunch of Complete Dummies...

Did you know broadheads in New York state have to have the bottom of the blade at right angles (90 degreees or larger) to the shaft?
They say the ones that have a hook (less than 90) in them are painful to the deer. Your post mae me remember that.

Don't laugh. I promise you, some of these dummies are using them. That is why the wounding rate is so high this year. They won't open in the dark.

I used to shoot mechanical heads... then I woke up one day and realized they made some that you don't have to worry bout opening, they are already open...... so I started shooting fixed blades again. And they zip thru em like butter now and are a whole lot stronger. :grin:
Bowriter, you were shooting NAP Killzones (muhkanikal)last year and saying how good they were. Don't buy his load of bull feces my fellow deer killers. Unless I misunderstood what you was a trying to say.
Now this is true.
When a thing called the Puckett Blood trailer firstc ame out, I was sent six to try. Blades opened in flgith or would not open at all and if you did hit something, half the time, they would bounce out. They could not understand why I would not write a favorable review of them. Almost as bad as the package of plastic heads I was sent.
Today, with some of the mech heads, I would not worry. I shoot NAP Killzones and have for two years with outstanding results. The reason being...I got them free. For over 25-years, I shot NAP Thunderhead 125's. In 1995, I killed a bear, an elk and five deer with the same head without changing blades.
As long as you don't depend on the bh to do the job for you in terms of shot placement, you'll be okay.

You mean the guys on TV are lying and I wasted my money? What if I put those lights on the end of my arrow?... Lumenocks is the name. That should work.bowriter said:
Then again, why would you stray from fixed? They don't work these days?
bowriter said:
Yes, based on your review last year, I bought and tried some. I love the way they "snap" closed and stay closed until they hit their target. Yes they leave a huge hole and massive blood loss. I am a big fan of these broadheads but as you have said, shot placement is key with any broadhead you use unless you are hunting Mississippi and still shootin' pods.
And, the problem with the pod, past ethics and the fact that it could kill you, was that it took about 30 seconds for it to paralyse the diaphragm of the deer and cause it to suffocate. With the advise that the best place to shoot it was in a large muscle mass such as the shoulder or hindquarter, just how far can a deer run in 30 seconds leaving little to no blood trail.
scn said:
I grew up hunting Mississippi and never used pods once but knew of people that did. It was simply against my principles.
Yes, a deer can cover a lot of ground in 30 secs without much blood trail. I would hate to try and track that deer
As far as the fact that it could kill you, that is incredibly unlikely as deer and other hoofed mammals are said to be 1000 times more sensitive to succinylcholine than humans and the amount used in pods is very little.

I thought about this earlier in the season...not necessarily because of mechanicals but just seemed like there were so many stories of lost deer. Is it the influx of new bowhunters? Has there always been this many (but no one ever said anything)? Are folks just buying equipment and hittingt he woods "no practice required?"bowriter said:

I dont understand? What does mechanical or fixed blades have to do with "learning to hunt" ? You use mechanicals yourself? Sounds like people need to learn to track a blood trail, wounded deer!bowriter said:

Can you believe this....wait, of course you can. You see, sir, it is a complete satirical joke. Not a word of it is true. However, I do believe some of these dummies are using less than ethical broadheads.
Good Grief!
I'm There- This entire thread is a joke. It is a satire, making fun of ourselves by using ridiculous statements as fact. It is just for fun.

What is ironic is I am guessing close to the same number are wounded with guns, if not more. If you do not think so, go to a gun range and see what many call "good" to hunt with when it comes to a gun or even worse the ones who gun hunt and never shoot the gun they hunt with before going to the woods.

On a serious note I just bought a pack of Muzzy Crosskills. What is your opinion of them?

I've done away with broadheads altogether and shoot field points year round. My emphasis is now solely on shot placement.
Some people just want to watch the world burn....
Way to stir the pot.

Excellent idea. Been thinking about it myself. Did the same thing during gun season. Only shoot a .22.
As for the Muzzys-have no idea, never shot one but Muzzy is a great product.
And headhunter, afraid you mssed the point.
