Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Bowhunting Broadheads

Same here. Just made sense to turn it into a COC. I started with the muzzy's when they first came out. I have taken several dozen deer with them. I still have some of the 150 grainers. Mostly used the 130's, then the 115's. Shooting the 100's now.

NAP Thunderheads are my choice .

The G5 Montec is a nice BH.

I started out with Muzzy 4 blades, which did a fine job.

Decided to give the Magnus Stingers a shot, loved them. Used them for 5 or so years.

Bought some Slick Tricks last year and have switched to them now. Best made and flying broadhead I've seen. I don't think I could want much more out of a broadhead.

Slick Trick 100 grain mags. Work well out of a 65 lb AlphaMax...

I only have a PSE at 60#, I better stick with Muzzy then

I have a Double Bull 360 Matrix ground blind. One minor point. If you want to shoot thru the mesh windows, they recommend a COC blade. I shoot 85 gr G5's as my bow is only 40-50# (bad shoulders), but would like to try other COC's.

when I shot wheel bows, these were my choice. They were very effective and dam near indestructible. Of course I've never seen a slick trick. now'a days I tend to go a little retro.

I'm very impressed by the tissue damage from NEF Thunder Heads. I'm not focused upon trying anything else!!

I have tried both mechanical heads you are considering and the Spitfire's flew best for me, and I think are a little tougher........Good luck..........Hillbilly.

I use spitfires. I just bought 3 packs because NAP has their $10 rebates again. I buy 3 packs a year, turn 1 into practice heads, and use the rest on deer.

I've been using them for 20 years. They're still NAP's #1 broadhead and they make a dozen. I use the 100 grain heads on Gold Tip 7595's. I've shot about 75 deer with them. My buddy on damage permits stopped counting at 300. I've got a 200 pound 8 pt on the wall I shot quartering away out through the chest with one. I'm going to Kansas for the hunt of a lifetime in October and 8 out of 10 of us are using them. We all shoot them. We all shoot bowtech bows, quickspin vanes, and gold tip arrows. There are probably 20 more people at my rod and gun club that do the same. It all started with me and another guy, and it has caught on. Everyone seems to be happy so far.

Trophy Ridge Buck Blasters!They leave 2 3/4 inch exit holes.Three fixed blades and three expendables.It's like somebody just throws buckets of blood around after a hit.Even bad hits,you will never NOT recover your deer.Practicing sucks with them because the blades break, cause of the extreme drag.But once your sighted in forget about it!They are the best destroyer in the woods hands down.They make a bigger mess than a 1 once shotgun slug on deer.

I have seen two nice bucks and a big doe killed by the Trophy Ridge Buck Blasters. None of those deer had an exit hole.

Needless to say I wasn't very impressed.

You need heavy draw weight and a heaver arrow for these to leave a nice exit wound.As I said, there is alot of drag, do to the large cutting surface.They are pure killers when they hit.

300fps with a FMJ arrow isn't enough for a pass thru? Really? Well then you ain't getting many pass thru shots with those. That was on the Doe. I am not sure what the two bucks where killed with. I will find out tomorrow.

Why is it people these days cant grasp the concept of K.I.S.S.? The got to have the latest "media craze" in equipment. The fastest this, the biggest that. Still remember the days when a long axle to axle Golden Eagle Cam Hunter barely clocking 200fps with aluminum logs and a 125 grain muzzy that made almost no sound when shot killed animals plenty dead. Yet today, folks feel they have to try and temp the laws of physics on every hunt. I just dont get it. Yes, I have gravitated to a newer faster bow. Use carbon arrows. Fancier sight. But an arrow rest that moves and a mechanical broad head have virtually NO chance of going afield with me. I like keeping as many of the odds as I can in my favor.

I have gone full circle with plenty of broadheads in my life. Back to Slicktricks and doubt I can be pulled away ever again. Look at the thread here with the Oregon bear.

I shot that with a 60lb switchback and a 125 grain slicktrick, the arrow went right through cutting and breaking ribs in and out, that bear had a 54" girth! I have the arrow here and can shoot another bear with it after I touch up the blades. The blood trail I followed at a walk only stopping on the steep slope where he rolled down the hill thru brush. In those two places the brush sprung back up and covered the ground. It was however easy enough to see the path he took and the spots of blood along the way.

There is just nothing else I have used that eliminates all the braodhead issues like a slicktrick.

I like long and slow. Like this one Hoyt Vantage LTD just look past the short fast one next to it. LOL

To Montana creek hunter.I had a complete pass through with a buck blasters on a four pointer.Beman ICS 400's, which are way to light,In my opinion.I Shoot a Darton AS-300 hybrid 2 1/2cam bow 70lbs.At 20yrd perfectly broadsie.The arrow landed perfect behind the leg double lung.The arrow totally passed through the deer and fell about 30 feet passed the deer.I watched the deer fall within 50yards.My father also has had many pass threws with his cross bow.Im just saying weight helps with a wide 125 GR broad head.It's just how you hit them whether you get a complete pass through.Either way they die fast!!
