Lots of Choice these days for Broadheads

[nube]

Was at Cabelas today getting some stuff and was taking a look at the broadheads and getting some ideas on what to shoot for my sheep hunt. WOW what a pile of them to choose from. A friend of mine says he likes rage 2 blade mechanicals lol I laughed because there were a handfull of different ones and they basically all seemed the same.
My thoughts are that I am going to try to stick with a fixed Broadhead if I can get them to fly right. I grabbed a pack of Muzzy's to try out.

What kind of fixed Broadheads are you guys using and why? I've heard good things about a few of them out there but wanted to get a bit more info before I start buying a few to try out.

I switched from g5 Montecs to grim reaper mechanical and see no reason to switch back. If you're set on fixed, many people like the Montecs. I didn't care for how dull they are, difficult to sharpen, and weak (poor metal me thinks). What's important is they tune and fly true and the Montec design is copied on the NAP hellrazor and it's a much sharper edge. You can get them at Jimbows.
I'd use that instead. From what I read just before switching to mechanical, I'd also consider the magnus stinger. Bass pro in Calgary had them

I've been using G5 Strikers for a few years now. They fly great and cut easily. I was going to use a new pack of grim reaper mechanical broadheads this year to get a better blood trail but think I'll stick with the Strykers for another season. I'm gonna use them up before I switch. Both are good broadheads

I have the Grim Reapers as well. They are a great mechanical.

I just picked up some Grave Diggers. They are a hybrid fixed/mechanical. Two fixed blades and two mechanical blades so even if the mechanicals should fail in that off chance, you still have two good cutting blades.

Slick trick standards in 100 grain. Great broadheads! Watch your fingers putting them on the arrow though, they'll slice you up in a hurry! Very sharp, and with 4 blades, they're a bit clumsy to handle. They are very compact, and have always flown good for me, very similar to field tips. Not much adjustment to get them tuned up, and sighted in.

Yep

I used slick trick magnums last year. They fly just like my field tips. One moose and one deer down. Bought more for this year.

I use Grim Reaper Razor Tips. Been great so far. Pass thrus on all my kills so far last few seasons. I like them just because they don't really need any tuning. They come with a practice head and shoot pretty much like my field tips.

They have a new hybrid one out this year that has mechanical blades as well a couple of fixed blades. Looks like a good idea. Might try those out this year.

Ram cats .. have put down a dozen moose and an elk for me no issues what so ever !!

You started out with a good choice. I believe that the Muzzys have the longest history of use among the other brands mentioned in this blog. Longevity in the archery products world speaks for itself.
I have been shooting them for a long time now.(3 blade 100gr.) They fly well for my set up and they have proven good terminal performance time after time. They are strong construction, have very sharp, easily replaceable blades and you can get practice blades to shoot pre season- you don't have to dull a $20.00 broadhead just to practice. I have half a dozen arrows tipped with Muzzy practice broadheads on the go for preseason shooting.

In the end the choice is personal.

Hey guys a bit off topic but should I move my rest sight housing or pins to get my fixed broadheads to hit where I want

I'm no pro but the research I see is guys move a rest to compensate. Not sure if that is right or not.

Move your rest in the direction of where your field points are hitting until they hit together. Then move your sight housing so you are on target with both. Verify your pins and you're good

There's a broadhead tuning sticky at the top of the archery page. Some really good info on there.

Ive had good luck with muzzys over the years but one of the toughest broad heads has to be the wasp ://www.wasparchery.com/videos/broadhead-test-wasp-muzzy-and-rage-vs.-deer-of-steel

I can't see them either.

[dantheman93]

exodus. blade over shaft is nice for consistency with field tips. simply designed heavy duty and sharp. personal preference to avoid anything mechanical.

like you say though lots to choose from these days and unless you get a cheap head you probably can't go wrong.

Would like to be able to see the images as well, is there something we can do on our end to view the images? Or do i have to get a photobucket account to view them?

Not to sure. Haven't looked at it since last season. I can't see the pics either

[Lefty-Canuck]

Photobucket became pay to play....hence about 95% of the pics here cannot be seen.
