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 tnts79 01-24-2008, 01:19 PM 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.... MichiganHunter 01-24-2008, 01:41 PM What did you used to use?

Why?.. because they work...:noidea: STRO 01-24-2008, 01:49 PM RAGES BECAUSE THEY ARE THE BEST jdawg240 01-24-2008, 01:50 PM I like Spitefires, big holes lots of blood, BrowninGal 01-24-2008, 02:04 PM i used a couple of times crimson talons(hog specifically) but i really like slick tricks now. just personal preference nubo1 01-24-2008, 02:20 PM 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. nubo Shortshaft 01-24-2008, 07:08 PM 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! DAGUARDIAN 01-25-2008, 01:41 PM 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. jessetjames 01-25-2008, 02:17 PM muzzy bad to the bone :):rockon: MichiganHunter 01-25-2008, 03:13 PM with the slick tricks are you using the three blade or four blade? MichiganHunter 01-25-2008, 03:15 PM 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. Rino 01-25-2008, 04:37 PM 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! QDAWG44 01-25-2008, 05:58 PM 4 blade slick tricks are great. BowhuntnHoosier 01-25-2008, 06:45 PM Muzzy 3 Blade 125gr. Because they have never failed me or any of my friends. They are truly Bad To The Bone:rockon: Hook Em 01-25-2008, 08:16 PM Slick Tricks are the best flying fixed head I have ever shot...that is why I use them. And they kill stuff really well to boot :rockon: 100 gr magnums bullfiddle 01-25-2008, 08:17 PM Slick Tricks are the best flying fixed head I have ever shot...that is why I use them.

Thats how I feel about Slick Tricks:mad: Rino 01-26-2008, 01:56 PM 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? brokenarrow 01-26-2008, 04:08 PM Muzzy 3 blade 100gr... They work great.

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: http://www.3dshoots.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11896 lungcutter 01-26-2008, 10:30 PM 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. IN Bowhunter 01-27-2008, 12:10 AM RAGES BECAUSE THEY ARE THE BEST 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. MichiganHunter 01-28-2008, 09:26 AM thanks for all you opinions... i will check them all out. :rockon: Hoyt1986 01-28-2008, 10:39 AM I like Spitefires, big holes lots of blood, SPITEFIRES......hands down!!! Always worked for me too!! LOVE them and will NEVER switch!!!:amen: dzingale 01-28-2008, 11:37 AM As A fixed blade I use SLICK TRICKS. And for Mechanicals I use GRIM REAPERS.:peace: jgray82 01-30-2008, 11:34 AM 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. |
