Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire This is why I shoot Muzzy fixed 4.

No frowns from the buffet warden?

The one the keeps the Mac and cheese full but never puts out white meat chicken ?

The more of these examples I read.....the more this debate sounds like a Burger vs. Barnes debate! memtb

I use the G5 Montec or Muzzy 4 blades . Never have a problem . Might try a mechanical if I needed to make loger shots .

They all shoot mechanicals on those shows. Thats the in thing. The more complicated they can make things the better and more expensive. That makes more money for the companies financing the hunter.

You're lucky they dont sic a bunch of them on you. Pretty sure they lose money on you.

OTOH, Its disgusting to see the fat poor hispanics eating there. Many have very little money but act like rich kings and end up leaving more food on their table than they eat.

Couldn’t say. I’ve yet to hunt deer in the Great State of Florida.

They are pretty thick (triple) at the tip, but some folks use a file to put a chisel point on them.

Very telling penetration comparison here. Even with 6 blades the Slick Trick wins.
I have seen videos of fixed blades getting great penetration with shoulder hits on bull elk and IIRC one on a bull moose for quick kills. Plus, you dont have to worry about a mechanical catching on a tall weed and getting jerked down from a perfect flight.

Ive had elk standing in low marshy spots in mountain draws where only six or eight inches of their back was showing over those tall, lavendar flowers that look like giant daisies. No way to get a mechanical through those or even broom weed or Lovegrass to a bedded buck with a typical mechanical.

I've been shooting s.s. snuffers for quite a few years now on mulies and Elk for several years now with great successes. Shot a turkey a few years ago with a rage broadhead and watched it bounce off of him, pure waste of money.

I don't think I've watched a hunting show in 20 years either. They tend to bore the piss outta me. I'll be using 100 grain Muzzy 3 blade crossbow heads on 20" bloodhunter arrows this year. They weigh 422 grains total and are leaving my crossbow at 355 fps.. I don't think they're going to be bouncing off deer.

Man, you ought to see how far some of those whitetail bucks drop at the shot, sometimes dropping a foot between the release and arrival.

If i hadnt watched some good shows or videos I would never have known if I should take a shoulder shot or frontal on a bull.
I also would have never tried to call a deer in with a snort wheeze or buck roar.

I also never would have seen to mechanicals jerked down from perfect shots on big bucks.

Not having been a genius and innately born already knowing everything required me to do some studying. As it is, I've seen and learned things I wouldnt have in 3 lifetimes, like what I just learned with the Slick Trick test I just saw above or this frontal hit on a bull below. Plus I got to see a beautiful spot in the mountains I would have otherwise never have seen. I would have never seen golden eagles taking down wolves or other things, like the amazing Gene Wensel drilling whitetails running through timber. From watching it and practice i took my first bull with an arrow through the lungs at about 40 yards as it was running through timber.

I enjoyed doing most things that would help me become a better hunter.

I wish you would tell me how you know all those things.

Jag I've seen that vid before and it's one of the best kill shots ever caught on video.

However, it was a schit shot, very poor judgment, poorly executed. I don't think the kid was even trying for a frontal. In short, he got extremely lucky.

Great vid though.

I wouldn’t announce to the world that I’m killing Muslims even if they deserve it.

My problem with hunting shows is because they're 90% hunting from stands or blinds, often over food plots or bait. I don't care for stand hunting, which is one of the reasons I quit bow hunting. I find bows to be a clumsy/awkward/unhandy PITA for still hunting/tracking.

X3. Using a single bevel 2 blade that I can resharpen and resharpen and so on. Running about 570 grains.

I said I hunt with muzzys, not for them.

Penetration tests have their place. Problem is, animals aren't gel, or cardboard, or layered foam. There are bones involved. I probably spent 10 hours already this summer tuning fixed blade broadheads. Once I tune one, it gets set aside and resharpened.

Eastern tenderfeet are funny.

Wrong, I have an elk, 2 whitetails a lion and a bear that were archery kills and are in the B&C book.
