What did you used to use?

I think a popular answer you will get here is Muzzy's. They are simple and inexpensive, but do a nice job. I like how you can take the head off and the blades will stay in. Most other fixed blades have to be screwed on tight otherwise the blades can fall out.

I shot the Muzzy MX-3's this year and they flew great, just didn't have any luck getting a big boy during archery

Tekan-II's, they fly like darts and make 1.5" holes. All 3 I shot this year were down within 25-40 yards. The tekans have the easiest blade deployment of any mechanical on the market, just pushing them through a piece of printer paper will open the blades! Try doing that with a spitfire..:frusty: ! I've got two mx-3's I would like to give to some sucker that likes them if they have some tekans to give to me....

I got to say I really like the slick Trick's ,they fly close to me fieldpoint's and are easy to tune . They simply do the job . Made a complete passthrough on my bear last season breaking a rib entering and another exiting and then cleanly passed through the shoulder ,next stopping in the ground .Can't ask for any better result's.

I've been shooten Muzzy 3 blade 100's for years but I think I'm going to try the slick tricks on my new set up when I get it. My hunting bud (and bow tuner) recomends them. He sets up prolly 200 bows a year or so and swears buy them. We'll see!

Mechanicals I shoot Spitfires-- big holes, lots of blood, but last few deer i didnt get much penatration and they were good shots so i switched to Slick Tricks and I wont shoot another broadhead ever again They fly super true, leave great holes, and Blood and are really sharp. Plus they are cheap and you can replace the blades if needed but thes things are really tough.

i see alot of people using muzzys and talking about how great they are.. but i wont use anything muzzy.... long story... lets just say muuzzy was very rude and out of line to me over something very small.

This was my first year shooting Rage two blades after shooting Thunderheads for 14 years. I love how they fly and the blood trails are sick! My doe was down after 50 yards with entrance and exit holes I could drive a VW Bug through. I'm never going back!

Hey Hook Em,
Have you hunted hogs in Texas? My Bro-in-law and sister live in FW and I would like to go down to visit them and hunt pigs. On the outdoors channel they talk as if you can kill pigs anytime of the year without a tag and take as many as you want. Is that true and would it be easy to find land that isn't a hunting ranch to avoid paying hunting fees? And since this a broadhead thread, can mechanicals handle a tough tusker?

You have to have a license, but there is no season and no bag limit on piggys. I would personally rather use a fixed blade on them tough, ugly pigs. As far as where to go, sure there is some public land but you can get hog hunts on ranches here pretty cheap. Check out this link...my wife from last weekend :rockon:

I like the Rage 3 blade and the Crimson Talon. Both fly great from my bow. These heads will leave big holes that make any tracking very easy.

Here's another vote for Rage, they are awesome!!! Shot three deer last year, two of which went down in eyesight, and the other just a few feet inside the tree line.

I have always been a muzzy fan, but this year I tried the two-bladed rage. I have never seen a fixed or a mechanical fly as much like a field tip as the rage does. I killed four deer with the rages this year and average tracking distance was less than 50 yards. Until, i find something on the market that i believe is better, I will continue to shoot the two-bladed rage.
