[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Choice broadhead for deer (Page 1 of 2)
Posted: 11/23/2011 1:34:20 PM EDT
| What is yalls favorite deer broadhead? whats the "best for the money"? |
|
I have always used Muzzy 3 blade which worked great but I wanted to try expandable broad heads the first year I tried
Grim reapers which were so so then I switched to Rages 2 blade this year and wow they worked great I shot a Doe and 8 point So those are the two I like one fixed blade and one expandable you cant go wrong with either in my opinion. |
|
I have used the Rage 100gr 2 blades for my entire bow hunting life. I love them....every deer taken has gone no farther than 40 yards...great blood trails.
I havent had one fail me yet. Although I do see the fixed blade side of the arguement, I havent found fixed blades that run stable with my Z7 past 20yards |
|
I've used a lot of broadheads over the years. For three seasons ('08-'10), I used Rage 2-blade broadheads. During that time, I killed 9 deer and 2 coyotes with them. But, I only had one pass-through shot out of all 11 animals (a doe)!
This year, I switched to Slick Tricks, and am 4 for 4 on having the broadheads penetrate both sides.

I dont remember where I read this but someone did a great broad head test shooting all different kinds into water filled milk jugs plywood something hard like maybe cinder blocks. That would be interesting to see/read. Where do you think you saw it? http://www.broadheadtalk.com/broadhead-tests/1677-2010-broadhead-challenge.html |

Quoted: Wow that guy must of had alot of free time on his hands. Dustin is an engineer, very particular about how he builds his arrows, and if he isn't working, he's shooting his bow. That entire broadhead test that was linked was done in one weekend. He's even designed a broadhead, the Red Feather Archery RazorHawk, a single-bevel 2-blade broadhead that is tough as nails. It sits in my quiver waiting for a chance to punch a couple holes in a deer. At 30yds, it is only 1.5" off of my field points –– and I haven't even broadhead tuned yet. He's been quite helpful getting me squared away and ready to go hunting this year. He's younger than I am (he's in his mid 20's I think), and he's probably already forgotten more about archery than I have had a chance to learn. |

Anything Magnus!! Hard to beat a lifetime warranty!! I shoot the Snuffers Grim Reapers here! What about the Magnus expandables? As far as I know, they don't make any gimmick heads!!! Only good, solid cut on contact broadheads!!! 
Bastage!!! 
You're right. I had them mixed up with some other kick ass brand that sells boff kinds.

I'm trying the Rage 2-blades this year. I practiced with the practice head and they seemed to shoot the same as field tips.
I made a miracle shot two or three years ago with a Muzzy 3 blade. The buck was about 60 yards away. I guessed hold over and got a complete pass through both lungs. He dropped about 10 feet from where he got hit. Muzzy will always be my fall-back, I just wanted to try something new. |

Which slick tricks are you using? 85-grain standards. I've now killed six deer with them. |
| Slick tricks for fixed blade that flies like a field point. NAP killzone that flies like a field tip. Superior to the Rage in that the blades do not deploy unless they are going through an animal and are not dependent on rubber rings to keep the blades in place. |

Spitfire maxx for me. I've shot most of the other popular stuff and haven't been impressed. I'll stick with spitfires. For heavier animals, like elk or nilgai, I'll switch to the Montec G5 Is that the nap broad head that opens from the front? I got 4 of those with my bow when I bought it. Wasn't sure if I was gonna use me or not |

Wasn't sure if I was gonna use me or not That's the one. I've had complete pass through a on every whitetail I've shot (about 30 of them now), a full pass through on an aoudad, and on the 800+lb nilgai the broad head penetrated but the shaft did not exit completely. For those of you who don't know, nilgai are known for being extremely tough. And they are. I hit one with a 300 WSM and he still ran over 200 yards before collapsing. The spitfire maxx put him down in about 60 yards. I've had them punch through shoulder blades and still pass through. I've tried most of the big names, and I'll never stray from a Mathews bow, or a spitfire maxx again. And it's not because they sponsor me or anything. |
