Hunting & Fishing Bowhunters! Favorite Fixed Broadhead

[Night Hunter]

Ok folks, I am going back to fixed blade broadheads this year. Since there is NO SUCH THING as a perfectly tuned bow, and fixed blade broadheads have their issues in flight. I know fixed heads will have to be played with to get my desired results.

So what is your favorite fixed blade head.

I don't need the newbie spill, I have been bowhunting for 15 years and killed plenty of deer with archery equipment, just not fixed blade heads. I just want to stay away from heads that seem to have recurring issues in flight.

Thnx!

Re: Bowhunters! Favorite Fixed Broadhead

3 blade Muzzy

 

[B Man]

Re: Bowhunters! Favorite Fixed Broadhead

4 blade magnus buzzcuts
slick trick
3 blade muzzy
thunder head
etc...

All are proven in durability and flight with the edge to magnus w/ a lifetime guarantee

All my friends have went through the rage, grim reaper, & bloodrunner faze. Most have started shooting magnus now and love them. You tune your bow to get feild point and BH's hitting same POI you are tuned and they will fly like a lazer.

i have gotten good results with the g5 montec. from crows to black bear.

also, pick up the g5 arrow squaring device! it works wonders and i group like im shooting a field tip.

Re: Bowhunters! Favorite Fixed Broadhead

I have slick tricks now and they fly pretty well. I think the montec or the stryker may be my next try.

Re: Bowhunters! Favorite Fixed Broadhead

I am partial to magnus stinger broadheads. They have a lifetime waranty, fly good for me, have excellent penetration, can be resharpened and the price isn't bad. I have also used Muzzy 3 blade (forget the specific model) and liked them, but like the magnus a little better.

Re: Bowhunters! Favorite Fixed Broadhead

Zwickey Eskimos since 1968. No reason to switch.

 

[wfjames22]

Re: Bowhunters! Favorite Fixed Broadhead

Ive been shooting G5 Strykers for a couple of years and love them. I like the fact that I can swap the blades instead of sharpening and they have performed perfectly on all of the deer that I have shot with them. I guess I got lucky because they shoot just like fieldtips with my setup, with no tuning.

Re: Bowhunters! Favorite Fixed Broadhead

another for G5 Montec but those damn shwackrs are givn me an itch

 

[tireys]

Re: Bowhunters! Favorite Fixed Broadhead

I would suggest:

Slick Tricks
Magnus Stinger Buzzcuts
G5 Montec

I personally shoot Grim Reaper 85gr. Razortips and Slick Trick Standard 85gr.

Re: Bowhunters! Favorite Fixed Broadhead

Montec

They penetrate well and are easy to sharpen. I've been using the same set for 3 years

 

[Powder_Burns]

Re: Bowhunters! Favorite Fixed Broadhead

Montec G5's fly pretty good for my needs.

Re: Bowhunters! Favorite Fixed Broadhead

G5 Montecs without question. I used 125gr.Thunderheads for over 20 yrs. until I had to go to a crossbow. But I could never get them to fly the same ever time, from the crossbow. I then went to an open on impact, whose brand I won't mention to keep from ruffling any feathers, because I was told they would fly to the same POA as field points. They did shoot well, BUT are easily destroyed on impact. After a bad experience with the first deer I shot with the OOI heads, I went to the bow shop looking for a fixed blade that would fly out of the crossbow. Charlie told me about the G5's, saying that if they didn't fly right, to bring them back for a full refund. After hitting a postage stamp sized target with all three heads @ 40 yds. I was sold. My experience with them has been nothing but positive. I highly recommend them.

Slick trick

 

[DaddyRat]

Re: Bowhunters! Favorite Fixed Broadhead

Slick trick 100 grain 1 1/8 cut are my favorite.

Montecs are good but can be hard to tune and sharpen. The new CS can get scary sharp but will rust. Some of the older montecs actually made a whistling sound when going downrange. I like magnus lifetime guarantee. Lots of good options.

Nice to see this! I used them for quite a few years and killed elk with them. I get "the look" from some guys I shoot with now, because according to them they seem too old school. They worked great for me. I shot one bull, double lung, arrow went between the ribs in and out. The bull jumped like he'd been stung by a bee, took ten steps, stood there for what seemed like 10 minutes, even though it was more like 1-2minutes and he piled up. Good affordable head in my book.

Re: Bowhunters! Favorite Fixed Broadhead

100 grain montec g5 that are i solid pieces and are suppose to fly as close to a field tip as possible, i cant tell you have many deer i have killed with them and never had em run more than 40 yards

 

[Dakota_Mike]

Re: Bowhunters! Favorite Fixed Broadhead

I have had great results with the slick trick 100 1-1/8". Admittantly I haven't tried all of them but with the results they have given I doubt I'll be switching any time soon.

Re: Bowhunters! Favorite Fixed Broadhead

Muzzy MX3

 

[25MAN]

Re: Bowhunters! Favorite Fixed Broadhead

Can not go wrong with Muzzy 100 grain 3 blades they are great penetrating heads and very stable flying head.

Never had an issue...I was using them before I had to go try the mechanical broadhead world, and I am going back to them since I am not a fan of the mechanicals. just my opinion.

 

[Da-Law-Dawg]

Re: Bowhunters! Favorite Fixed Broadhead

85gr Thunderhead, flies like a field point with little to no windplaning.

Have one that has taken multiple deer & coyotes. Still one my "first-out" arrow in my quiver.

 

[dar1246]

Re: Bowhunters! Favorite Fixed Broadhead

Slick tricks fly good.

 

[PJ3]

Re: Bowhunters! Favorite Fixed Broadhead

Magnus stinger 100's
G5 Montac 100's

Same point of aim, point of impact as my field tips from my Parker.

 

[awonder]

Re: Bowhunters! Favorite Fixed Broadhead

Two blade magnus. Easy to re-sharpen and use.

 

[Night Hunter]

Re: Bowhunters! Favorite Fixed Broadhead

Tried the new Slick Trick Grizzly and getting great groups at 50 yards. I will more than likely stick with this head this year. I will continue to shoot them for a few more days and see how well they hold up to repeat shooting into targets.

 

[blksno]

Re: Bowhunters! Favorite Fixed Broadhead

I used mechanical for one season before switching to G5 125gr Striker Magnums.

I don't know if I'll ever switch. My first shot at big game was at a 67m doe and it punched threw both sides and stuck in the ground.
Second shot was at an antelope that punched through both shoulder blades at 20m.

I like the weight and they have always seemed to fly true. They do drop more than 125gr field points, but I'm ok with that. I practice with them anyway.

 

[gman722]

Re: Bowhunters! Favorite Fixed Broadhead

Slick Trick 100 gr magnums

 

[z71rat]

Re: Bowhunters! Favorite Fixed Broadhead

There can be only one as far as I am concerned... 100gr Muzzy MX4!!

Destruction of the bone... simply amazing!! And the head was unharmed.

[ghoghunter]

Re: Bowhunters! Favorite Fixed Broadhead

100 gr muzzy mx4 flies great

 

[ARP]

Re: Bowhunters! Favorite Fixed Broadhead

For mechanicals that really work and fly well = Grim Reaper Razortips

For fixed heads that really work and fly well = Muzzy 100 grain 4 blade

I have killed more critters with Muzzys than any other head, but have been shooting the Grim Reaper mechs since 2007 without a single issue of any sort.

I have been archery hunting for about 32 years now.

G5 Strykers have done this for me as well. I am giving the new T3's. Test drive this year.
