Well I want to go back to a resharpenable and COC head this year, something a little stronger than my slick tricks for elk. I have it narrowed down to these three heads. I believe the Hellrazor will be the loudest in flight, the montecs i've heard have bad steel, and I haven't heard really anything bad on the Magnus's. So what is your opinions?
This year, I'm using the Simmon's Land Sharks as they are 100% CS and easy to keep a razor sharp edge on. I wanted a 2 blade BH #1 and I wanted them to be CS #2 and it was just a bonus that these are also Montana made. http://www.simmonssharks.com These come razor sharp with an option to use the bleeder blades or not.
If your going the 3 blade route why not go a tad bigger then you are? Try out the regular Snuffer Instead of the SS. I've been using 125 grain 1 1/4 for 15+ years. They do whistle a tad for some people but haven't for me. Their very durable. http://www.magnusbroadheads.com/snuffers.html
Schultzy, I have used the original snuffer before, great head! However, with the speed i'm getting from my new bow I think a smaller profile head would suit me better, as far as arrow flight is concerned. Original snuffer's and Wensel Woodsmans on my trad. arrows though
I used the montec's for a couple of years and they were definately loud in flight. I bought them when they first came out for a elk hunt I went on. I didn't think they were razor sharp either. I don't have any experience w/ the others so I can't comment on them. I do really like the reign head I'm currently using. I wouldn't think twice about using them on a bigger animal like a elk or moose.
