I went to Cabelas the other day to get my arrows and broad heads. I was very happy to see that Muzzy got it right and has the hybrid in 125 grain this season. I was going to have the bowshop put 25 grain inserts in the piledrivers but now no need. I know it probably does not make a huge difference but I feel more comfortable with 475 grain arrows rather than 450 grain arrows.
Love the trocar hybrids, shot a doe with them last weekend and she went 40 yards Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I believe they are one of the best mechanicals on the market, no blade retention clips or o rings, pretty much impossible to fail to open.
Yes and no, last year the head was available in only 100 grain, while not wrong not ideal either, heck I wish they made it in 150 grain.
I simply do not get the disappointment that a company would make a mechanical broad head, unless you actually believe the stories where a hunter blames the head for a bad shot, or a setup that does not favor a mechanical.
Trying the Trocar HB this season, on target, it is dead nuts on even at 40 yards. Can't wait to see what it will do to hide/bone. I loved the MX-3, but wanted to try something else. I used Shwackers last year and although they are good, I hit some bone and they did not expand. So a hybrid with fixed blades seems like a winner to me for those "just in case" scenarios. Two turkeys I've killed with the MX-3 and it was deadly each time. I'm a big fan of muzzy. Maybe I'll step up to the 125gr if the 100gr leaves me needing more, but I doubt it, they are bad to the bone..........(I'll take my $5 for the plug)
Cuz there is n If you love the mx3, why change?? Guess what, you ain't gonna find better!! Only gonna spend more money on a gimmick And dammit... your on my team
I hate what mech heads have done to bowhunting. Seen failure after failure with them. Not too hard to figger out
No not hard to figure out use a heavy arrow and they work well. I have shot mechanicals into targets with 1 blade open and every combination and they heads go straight and they open if you do it right.
I shot a buck at 40 yds with the old school 100 gr. four blade a few nights ago. It zipped right through. I'm also using 75 gr inserts.
The rear deploying mechanical was amazing when G5 had the Teken? 4 balde. The Muzzy HB is just like that only better and in a 125gr that G5 seemed to stop making (couldn't find them anywhere). What mechanical broadheads have done to bowhunting is undeniable. It's both good and equally as bad. Many people are not tuning their bows properly because they believe that every mechanical "flies like a field tip" out of the box. Many people put mechanical heads on setups that do not produce the proper amount of KE and therefore only get an entry and no exit. This can lead to unrecovered deer and many people blaming the head. In a way it's partially the marketing that causes such issues. However, If used properly from a correctly tuned bow, mechanical heads are devastating and I believe lead to many ethical and quick kills, that may have been marginal with a fixed blade. Broadhead tune and make sure you have enough KE to get the job done and there is nothing wrong with using a mechanical.
I have never heard somebody tell me the reason they shoot mechanicals is because of ease of tuning. If we are blaming the mechanicals then the need for speed and the use of the lightest arrow possible is at fault as well.
Easy tuning? Try no broadhead tuning. You do realize there are people out there that buy a 3 pack of rage (or any mech) and just screw them on and go hunting right? No spin test, no practice shots into target. Many people do this or have done this. My opinion is, the "flies like a field tip" marketing is why they got so popular. I shoot mechanicals, I have for 13 years, So I am obviously Pro mechanical. But the reason there is so much hate for them is because of lazy hunters. Just my honest opinion.
I was talking to a guide last week who told me it is very common for their clients to show up in camp with broadheads in the package and have never shot them out of their set up. The "shoots like a fielt point" is their reasoning and they don't want to waste a broadhead on a target if they don't come with a practice head.
For people who don't tune and just unscrew a field point and put on a broad head on, I hope they choose mechanicals. They might not fly just like a field tip but it's going to be closer than a broad head with the added wind resistance. Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
