I have only shot expandables and I want to change to fixed. Maybe Muzzy or Slick tricks. Which should I go with 3 or 4 blade? I am shooting GTips 5575 3" vanes. Thanks in adavance Chuck
Go with 4 blades if you can. The difference between a 3 blade and a 4 blade is a hole.. and the 4th blade is responsible for it. Can't argue with a better blood trail.
Muzzy's always fly really erratic (hi, left, right) on my setup. Never tried the Slick's but, heard all good flight stories
Muzzy are great heads when they fly right. I used slicks before, they fly great, but they are not that strong. Muzzy or Rage for now. Rage this past season...5 for 5. why not Rage for you anymore?
I have been sling'n Tricks for 3 yrs now and haven't had any issues with them. They are flying as true as field points for my setup. I have never tried expandables but if I did it would be the Rage 2 blade. My Tricks are the 100 Mags. I think all Tricks are 4 blade. I believe they came out with a couple of new models in '08 but I haven't tried any of them.
I use 3 blade muzzys I could not get the Mx4 blade to fly right. The 3 has never let me down and I have shot a ton of animals. The rage problem I have is the cost of them I would be broke in a hurry. I have great blood trails with the 3 blade no worries there. The price and availability is at the top of the list compared to other broadheads.
x2 Gotta love those 3 blade muzzys... They have to be once of the best bargins out there and they work great....
I shoot the old style 3 blade Muzzy's. I practice at 50 yds w/them, and have no flight issues whatsoever. I've killed everything I've shot with them. Granted, I may not get the massive blood trail like Rages' but they do the job, they kill deer. A definite advantage is that they are reasonable in cost, u can replace the blades for only $10 for 3 sets, and they are tough. If you pay attention at the end of the season, u can get a real bargain on them. I've bought sets of 3 for $10 in the past few yrs. I have thought about Rages just because of trying something new. I plan on using my Muzzys' on elk this fall.
4 bladed stinger buzzcuts are flying well for me right now, that or shuttle t locks, I have never been a fan of muzzys
I'm with Frank on this one ..... Muzzys gave me fits for years .... Try Magnus 4 blade Stinger .... cut on contact and they fly as good as any mechanical I have shot .... AWESOME head ....
I have shot the grizztricks and really liked them. Another great head is the G5 Striker. Definitely worth checking out. Flys great, supersharp and awesome blood trails.
G-5 Montecs Great head also a lil pricey though but 100% resharpenable unless you hit your sidewalk shootin' a rabbitt in your back yard lmao yeah i did it
Another awesome fixed head you may want to consider is the G5 Stryker. They are razor sharp out of the box and fly very well.
I shoot the wac em heads cut on contact, can change the blades out the most accurrate head out there and I have shot the original slick tricks before, good head but I prefer the wacems.
I shot the big ole' Snuffers this last season, I have a new pack of the 2 Blade Stingers with the bleeders I'm hoping to send thru a deer this coming season! I also like the lifetime warranty you get with Magnus heads!
