Taylormike Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Hey everyone, I'm a muzzy guy, I've been hunting them for 20 years and love them. However, I've got to admit the Toxic broadheads look devastating. These particularly interest me because they're fixed heads. I do not like mechanicals. If anyone has any insight or stories on the Toxic please share, the good and the bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adkhunter1590 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I've been curious about them ever since I first saw them. Some how I always forget to pick up some anytime I go to the bow shop. If ya try them out before I get to, let us know how it goes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must not be too popular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chas0218 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Never ran them but look like they could do some damage and catch a lot of air. Too bizarre looking for me to try, guess I'm a plain jane BH kind of guy. I only shoot fixed after having an expandable actually bounce off a deer on a quartering away shot. I would rather shoot a BH that allows for shots other than perfect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylormike Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 I never thought about them catching air, good point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpastor1759 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Haven't tried them yet but going too. The videos online are too convincing. Can't believe how fast the milk jug empties. Plus the video of the guy shooting through a steel folding chair twice and the blade is still not messed up. As for the air I think the round shape prevents that kinda like the circular vanes I have seen before. I still love my Magnus stingers. Mechanicals too unreliable.Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylormike Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 Yes, I've watched some youtube videos on toxic with moose and elk, OMG! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurtleFace Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 (edited) one intresting thing somone mentioned to me was the blades are built to curl/fold to go around ribs instead of needing to cut/break though them. Could help with penetration. Edited September 21, 2017 by TurtleFace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iluvracks1359 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I shot them last year, fly way off from the field points. . . I also wounded and didn't kill a real nice buck from 20 yards. . .not really sure what happened, i may have yanked the shot a lil, but they do fly very inconsistant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylormike Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 Really luv racks, that's a shame. Do you know where you hit him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stubborn1VT Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I don't like broadheads that don't fly like my field points. Many people bad-mouth mechanicals (often with good reason) but mine fly great. I never had any luck getting a fixed blade head to fly true. Part of it is that I shoot fingers. To each his own, but I'd rather shoot an accurate mechanical than an inconsistent cut on contact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoneam2006 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I had read somewhere that because the holes build up with meat they do not penetrate as well with a less than ideal shot...just something I read somewhereSent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk I'm not one to bad mouth products and companies but this is one I do not mind doing so simply because of what I have witnessed. I quoted you because you said you saw the video that showed a steel chair and the blades staying in good shape, I can assure you this is not the case in a non controlled environment. My buddy missed a doe while hunting with me 3 times ( face palm), three arrows went right into swamp dirt, no rocks just mud and all three heads had at least two of those cookie cutter shaped blades bent out of shape. They also shot 4 inches left to his field points at 20 yards but he insisted on using them. Another friend tried them and shot a doe at 32 yards only to get 6 inches of penetration. He shoots a 29 inch draw at 70 pounds. He eventually found his doe but was not impressed at all with penetration or blood. I would not bother with them. You don't like mechanicals stick with your standard 2 and 3 blade fixed heads they are proven and just about fool proof if you are properly tuned.

jpastor1759 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Good to know, sound a lot like rage broad heads. Guess I will stick with my magnus. Thanks for saving me 40 bucks!Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iluvracks1359 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Switched to Rage, the guy who owns the bowshop I go to SWEARS by them, and he said he was not all that impressed with Toxic, that the Idea of them is great, but getting them to fly right is a different story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iluvracks1359 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 update on the toxic, after taking my bow to a highly recommended bow shop, we realized my arrows were not cut to the right length for my draw weight and length, for the spine I was using. Anyways we did a quick paper tune, and after that I shot some toxic this weekend. They were dead on to my field points, where last year they were 3 inches left at 20! I'm going to give them another shot this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
