What broadheads are you shooting...?

[VenaticOutdoors]

Just out of curiosity - what is everyone using for broadheads this year?  I have my own opinions and preferences, but what are others?  Could make for a good discussion...

[Fletch]

I know either people love em or hate em but I shoot the Rage 2 blade for 3 years now. I have had great results and huge wounds and blood trails from them.

[Doewhacker]

I think this has been covered here a few times but none the less..

Muzzy 3 blade 75gr

Reason, no moving parts, shot great, and are tough.

[SteveMcD]

STOS 130 gr. 2 Blade

[UpStateRedNeck]

Rage 2 Blades, good lord they don't go far if you smack em in the heart/lungs.

[Buckstopshere]

I use the 150 grain Magnus Snuffer. Been using them since 1979 when Roger Rothhaar sent me a box of them. I tried a few others, but have not found a head that leaves a comparable blood trail. I have never experimented with mechanicals, too many horror stories. They have to be touched up on a stone though. I use a diamond stone, course to take the factory burr down and fine to make them scary sharp.

100 grain Rage II

[Fantail]

Muzzy Phanton MX

[NYBowhunter]

First year using 100gr. Rage 2 blade, prior to that I was using Grim Reapers, which is a very good mechanical as well. Switching to the rage for that 2" cut and I want to see if they perform as well as people say. I used the rage practice head and it flew very true.

G5 Montec 100gr

[solon]

meat seeker 100 grain 3 blade - makes a nice hole

[WNYBuckHunter]

Rage 2s, Grizz Tricks and Crimson Talon XTs. I like to switch it up once in a while!

Rage 2's 100gr.

[MuzzyLoader]

Just got done tuning my bow... using 85 grain tips.  With the limited selection of broadheads in that weight - I'm going with Hammer SST's this year from Wasp!

Come to think about it - the biggest deer I ever shot was with a Wasp broadhead.  The blood trail looked like somebody took a 55 gal drum of red paint and went through the woods dumping it as they walked.  I don't really know why I ever changed heads (new technology probably).

Last few years I used Rocket steelheads 100 Grain.  They flew just like field tips and put a nice sized hole deers and bear.  This year I'm using Trophy Ridge Sidewinder 100 grain. Pretty much the same head.

I've read a lot of poor reviews on the rage but some people have great results.  If you haven't seen it, I would consider the Redhead Gator XPs - they used to be manufactured by Rocky Mountain before Rage bought them out.  2" cutting diameter and get better online reviews than the rage - also rear deploy but in a slightly different manner.

100 gr. Slick Trick Mags.

[CNYlungbuster]

Rage 2's all the way havn't had a bad thing to say about them yet

I checked these out wouldn't these be considered barbed??  Other than that I would give them a try.

I'll stick to my muzzy mx-3's. Just not convinced on the bone crushing ability of any expandables. With enough of a helical fletching, the muzzy's fly straight without wandering. I would be interested in hearing about the swhackers though. I see their commercial of them going through plywood on an angle. I know we aren't supposed to hit the shoulder guys but sometimes it happens.

Yea you either love them or hate them - it depends on if you've been burned before I guess.  I think that goes for all broadheads though - I've had poor success with some brands before.

They are not barbed because the blades are on a free swinging pivot and would flip up when you pulled them out.

Ok thats what i was wondering its hard to tell from just a picture... Might give them a try this year, thier on sale online at basspro for 19.99 I believe.  Spend 20 for the replacements for the rages that I already have and try something new for 20 as well I like the way it sounds already lol

[SweetMike]

I use rage 2 blades 100 gr. . I was thinking about trying the NAP Blood Runners has anyone used them yet?

[growalot]

Well give me your thoughts...I have been practicing with 100gr field points and this week switch to the broad head elevated practice...I only shoot with 3 arrows...this year I have 3 chooses..all of which I've never shot and how they fly is the deciding factor ..but...I still have to consider a couple of things...one I have always shot 100gr 51# older Hoyt...and never shot mechanical before...I shoot a full length wht tail carbon 40/60 arrow...So what thoughts do you have on these:

1.) Spider 1 1/2" mechanical 100gr

2.) Carbon Express 1 1/8 TriokaST3 100gr fixed

3.)American Broad head 1 1/8  Buckmasters 85gr fixed
