I've done ok with the 125 grain Magnus Black hornets. I shoot 27" DL at 58 lbs. I have gotten 2 deer with them both pass thrus, one at 31 yards and one at 52 yards. One elk but no pass thru, he was at 19 yards. I have only had one pass thru on any of the elk I've shot. My son shoots the ram Cats and has good luck with them also. The better tuned my bow is the better shot groups I get also
QAD Exodus...was given the chance to shoot five different brands with my set-up at the archery shop and pick the one that flew the best for "me"...Exodus was it.
This is what I shoot. In my broadhead league almost all the guys shoot slicktricks. The QAD exodus compares very well to slicktricks.
Agreed 100%. Just got a little time to go shoot some distance. The Ramcat, Exodus, and Viper Tricks all grouped tight at 40, 50, 60, and 70 yards. I'm impressed with all 3. Going to try the muzzy trocar hb, muzzy phantom 4 blade sc, and shuttle t at longer distances next wknd. All this testing is half the fun!
Man apparently reading all these I'm gonna have to try some Slick Tricks. Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
I just switched from Mechanicals to Fixed Blade. I also switched from a low profile 3 fletch ventech to a 3 inch 3 fletch Parabolic feather and loving the results for Fixed blade broadheads. I've tried Slick Tricks, Montecs, and Magnus Stingers. They all shoot pretty damn good. I personally think the Magnus Stingers have the edge in my results. My garage to my Glendale buck is 56yrds so that's the furthest I have shot them so far. You can find them on Amazon for $29.00 I bought two sets of them. I will dedicate one set just for the sole purpose if practice heads. The other for killing.
Agreed, but I'd add something to that. In addition to a well tuned bow the arrows need to be properly spined. One other thing that makes a big difference in my opinion is making sure the broadhead spins as close to perfect as possible. Putting "wings" on the front of an arrow that aren't perfectly aligned is going to produce terrible results. When shooting a properly spined arrow out of a well tuned bow, just about any decent fixed blade broadhead should hit the same as field points if pains are taken when it's mounted on the arrow.
you may want to give Ramcat a try. I just picked some up.. haven't shot them yet, but reviews say they are very close to shooting like field tips.
Slick Tricks always flew very well for me. The key to getting any fixed to fly with field points is to tune the bow. Most fixed blades will plane a bit, I don't care what brand they are. But if you do your part, and tune the bow and make sure the arrows are properly spined and that you're tuning the bow to your particular arrow setup, the broadheads will be very close and require only minor adjustment to get them impacting with field points.
I concur with this gentleman. Never had to adjust my sight. They fly great, and they penetrate even better. And what I like about them is the blade has a razor edge on both sides. Meaning, in the event you don't get a pass through shot, (by reputation that should not be often), it's going to cut up some flesh no matter what. I've only got one season under my belt with them, but I knock down an 8pt with a bad shot. The broadhead hit a rib and still went through the deer. I thought I'd try my dad's Spitfire's next on a doe. Not so good. She was perfectly broadside and I had a small opening. I think I hit part of her shoulder. The arrow only went in about 5 inches and she broke it off. I never found her. I was kicking myself afterwards for not using a Ramcat. I know it's only a one season experience, but I'm sold on the Ramcats. I love how they fly and how they are designed. I work in engineering by trade, so I'm weird that way. However, these things tend to be like pickups, guys have their brands and swear by them no matter what.
