Broadheads 2015

[Hock3y24]

I just picked up some 125 grain hypodermics on sale for 24.99. I cannot believe how sharp these are and I may try them on a deer.

Where did you pick them up for that price?

[ants]

I picked up some Rage 100 grn. Hypos for last season, but didn't get a chance to try one out…..This year ..I hope.

You can't beat the trocars 3 for 26 bucks sharp as hell and spin.

I'v only used Muzzy MX-3, and they always performed perfectly.  Father-in-law bought me some Carbon Express Shurikens for my birthday, so Ill give them a try this season.  Anyone get a chance to try these yet?  They look pretty scary, Ill report back as soon as I put one to work.

Carbon Xpress XT4s again this year. Cheap, tough, accurate and cheap. Great cutting power:

With so many different preferences, and some people trying multiple brands... I wonder how many people fall into the trap of not being sure how a particular broadhead fly's in their set up (or with their shooting form). 

 

I'm not saying any of you would do such, but I've seen a hand full of guys in my day just put on broadheads and never do the hard part of being sure how they fly. (not all "100 gr" heads weigh the same and even some in the same packaging are different).

 

I used to be so anal with fixed bh flight that I was toasting too many targets and too many arrows. For that reason alone, I shoot mechanical and I still test the flight thoroughly. I don't think there's a head on the market that does not kill a deer quickly when you put it in the lungs... not putting it in the lungs because of bad flight or shot is another thing. 

[Hock3y24]

I have been shooting all of my broadheads from 20-70 yards at least 6 arrows a day, they are identical to 40 ( I tuned my bow relentlessly to Achieve this) after 40 the fixed heads drop faster for me. So my pins are set 20 30 40

[Luv2Hunt]

125 grain Grave Diggers.  They are personaly the best I have seen/used!

[BigVal]

Anyone shoot grim reapers?

[phade]

Anyone shoot grim reapers?

Yep. I shoot slick tricks and grim reapers. I shoot the razortip 1 and 3/8. Killed quite a few deer with them starting in 09 or so.

[NonTypical]

Still shooting 100g Thunderheads after 25 years. I can walk into any sports store and buy more blades. You can't say that about most other broad heads with the exception of Muzzy. Oh yeah, I always get great penetration unlike most expandables.

100g toxics

[BigVal]

This will be my second year shooting grim reapers and they worked great last season. I moved from rage and am happy with the change.

[Deadhunter25]

This is my first year trying to Muzzy trocars but they seem a little flimsy to me can anyone who has shot them tell me if they are durable? Say if you hit bone

Here is a write up I did on them...

I have played with the Trocars and killed a couple deer with them. Only reason being is they reminded of an old Rocky Mountain broad head design from back in the day. Some good and bad points on them. The good...they seem to group excellent, maybe because of the offset blades that create a helical I don't know...but the shoot very well. They are also quite in flight. Both deer I killed were pass throughout, one died in sight and the other had typical blood trail for about 125 yards. Both double lung shots from tree stands.

The bad on the Trocars. They are a one a done head for two reasons. First reason being that the tiny set screw gets gummed up and it's almost impossible to change the blades. One out of three willstrip right out and the time it take for a blade replacement with that in mind....forget it. This isn't insurmountable because honest you can replace the whole head for almost the cost the blades..... However the second reason they one and done is even though the ferrule is steel really isn't that strong, and solid hit and they don't spin true. They blade retention has weak points as well as I have seen a few sheared blades in solid impact tests. Lastly the blade offset really tears the hell out of your broad head targets and makes some removals a pain in the ***....

So in short I wouldn't be afraid to use Trocars but I would limit it to smallish thin skinned game like deer and lopes.... My first choice in heads...no but serviceable.

[monkeyman2269]

He is correct in saying they usally are a one and done bit that's ok when u can get 3 for 27 bucks. Unless u want to shoot rage which is also a one and done for 3 for 40

[NYBuckHunter27]

Yes killed two bucks with the 2inch whitetail specials, marginal shots and i truly believe those heads saved me.

[NFA-ADK]

Bow is still tuned for the two blade rage so I will probably stick with them as long as they still shoot the same.  

[biggamefish]

Still running with the simmons sharks. Went up to 175 grain governmental.

[Fantail]

Same as last year; Magnus

I actually found a stray Rocket mini blaster, so that will go to the head of the line this year. Other than that, I use the cheapy Muzzy 75 gr because they usually can be resharpened. I have one arrow and broadhead that has been used for my last 5 deer.

[Elmo]

2 blade Rage and Montec G5s.

What is a governmental broad head??  Man I wish I knew what I was writing there!!

 

It was supposed to be a 175 grn Tigershark.

[TPat032]

Muzzy MX-3 100 gr.  Hasn't let me down. Every year i want to try Rage or G5 but i can never switch away from these Muzzys..
