If 50 people respond to this thread, you will most likely get 50 different answers. Here's my 2 cents worth. I'd stick with a quality fixed blade BH. Find one that is accurate out to 50 yds and use it to practice with. With a fixed blade, there is less to go wrong than if you choose a mechanical. There's not a mechanical made that can take the abuse that a good fixed blade can take. Lot's of good fixed blades on the market. I shoot the Muzzy MX3 and Muzzy Crossbow. They both shoot really great in my Equinox and are really durable. Probably one of the cheaper heads you will find. I had to use a wood chisel to remove one from a pine tree after shooting a turkey. The head showed no sign of damage at all. I disassembled it and touched up the blades and used it to kill a hog the next day. It's back in my quiver, ready for another hunt.
I was looking at some today and debated about the weight.
With the heavier bolt cutters currently used it would be a simple matter of target work to confirm impact point and any required scope tweaking of a hundred grainer. Actually nothing against the bolt cutters having not used one on deer yet but muzzy's appeal. Just need to weigh an bolt before final selection.

100 g. 1"-- 4 blade slick tricks. They leave a hole blowing thru both sides of the deer bigger than a 12 ga. shotgun. Works for me and they fly perfect. Just don't care for the mechanical especially in freezing conditions of snow and ice.

Re: Favorite Broadhead?
I bought some 2 years ago and the quality leaves a lot to be desired. IMO the product now is not the product of old. But the price is nice.Big Woods wrote:The Muzzy MX3's are interesting, nice price, and great reviews

Re: Favorite Broadhead?
BW, Muzzy was bought by Rage a few years ago. I don't think they've changed the head in any way. I tried a few Swhacker mechanical heads on some turkeys last year. They were only good for 1 bird each.Won't be wasting any more money on them. Unless I have some unforeseen issue with the Muzzy MX3, that will continue to be my BH. I found them on closeout last year at Wally World for 15 dollars per 3pk. I now have 9 heads. Use 3 to practice with and have the other 6 for hunting. I get 1/2 to 3/4 groups at 50 yds. Don't know what they would do past 50 because 50 is my personal limit. Good luck on whichever head you choose. Like I said earlier, there are a lot of great fixed blade heads on the market. They will all do the job if YOU put them where they're supposed to be.Big Woods wrote:The Muzzy MX3's are interesting, nice price, and great reviews

THAT is exactly right. Choose the one you can put in the vitals.

Re: Favorite Broadhead?
Fixed blade, for sure!
Magnus stingers are very good, 125gr., accurate, dependable... I started using some old bear razor heads, that I had tucked away. 145gr., very accurate out to 50yds., Bottom line, If possible, try different heads and use what is the most accurate out of your bow set-up... Good luck!
