I have just recently heard about Gravedigger and Valkyrie broadheads. Anybody have any experience with them? I may be way behind the times, you gotta cut me some slack, I've just ventured away from Muzzy's this year after 22 years of faithful use.

Aron Snyder from Kifaru has said he used Grave Diggers for a long time until they changed the manufacturing. He then had multiple heads fail, he no longer uses them. I've never used either. Magnus makes great heads imo.
I still love them, still have 12 arrows tipped with them. I saw some videos from Ranch Fairy on YouTube and decided I'd experiment with high FOC, 550+gr arrows with single bevel and two blade heads. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
What’s your setup? I’m snorting the fairy dust too! I love the Magnus killer bees, but they are double bevel. Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
Venturing away from your Muzzy heads can led you down a dark, expense rabbit hole. There’s nothing wrong with a 3 blade Muzzy. Have taken everything from whitetail to kudu with them. Yep, took a $5 broadhead to Africa. Drank the Iron Will kook aide last year sold them, was not impressed. My go to head has ended up being the Magnus Stinger 4 blade. Here’s the catch, if your bow is tuned, you should be able to shoot any fixed blade head and kill deer. If you want to spend $35 a head for one that has a cool name, by all means do so. It’s your money. Good luck. J
You are right about it being a rabbit hole. Saw a review of the Bishop single bevel and they said it was expensive, but that was an understatement. I almost passed out when I went to the website. The expensive heads are amazing, but it’s not very healthy for the wallet! Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
Right now I have 3 set ups. Stinger buzzcut 125gr with 50gr brass insert on Beman 300's. The same set up with black hornets. Then 175gr Grizzly single bevel, 40gr insert with Spartan 250's. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
They've never done me wrong on any pigs, deer, sheep, ect. Like I said, still got em, still love em. Just figured I'd check out some other things just for fun. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
Ive killed quite a few deer with Mechs, Steelheads/Steelhead XL and Sidewinders(I still have plenty of all 3) ... however I am a fan of fixed heads, esp. 4 Blades for deer ...Ive taken dozens with Slick Tricks, and back in the day I used Thunderheads and Muzzys ... Ive used the Wicked Tricks for several years, even making my own before Slick started to do so, using blades from the Grizz Trick matched with the Viper Trick .... Ive killed many with Mags, Standards and the discontinued RazorTrick (Which I still have several packs of) ... In 2016 and 2019 I killed big bucks using the Wac 'Em 4 blade (damn good head !!) ..... this year, I heard about the Sanford Innovations Bloodshot which is a compact 4 blade COC 1.25" x 1.25" with .040 blades. I got a pack to try and have been super impressed with accuracy, flight, and sharpness .. they have same POI with my FP's at 40 yds .... they remind me of the Razor Trick except with a wider cut ... they will be my primary head this season ... there are a lot of good heads out there, try what you like, be sure your bow is tuned ... good luck ...
Ironwill are killer heads, Here is one that went to a shoulder, no bone and then off side humerus and lodged behind it ...shattered it in about 3 pieces. All at 61 yards Premium heads are a good investment
That's another reason I decided to try out the fixed two blades, my Muzzy's where always great but once I put them through an animal they where trashed 9 times out of 10. The blades where just too thin and came out bent, chipped, deformed in many ways. I sharpen things pretty good so I figured a good robust and reusable head would be beneficial.

I get a certain sense of satisfaction getting a head back into shape and reusing it on another animal.
