    I have had great luck with the killzones but decided I want the dependability of a fixed blade. So here's my problem. I have the VPA 3 blade cut on contact, QAD exodus and the Muzzy trocar. My bow is tuned properly and each of these flies like darts right with my field points.however I just don't know which one to use for hunting. I am at a complete draw. They all seem to have great quality and are very sharp I just can seem to pick one. From your experiences with these broadheads, how does each hold up to bone? And how were the blood trails.

    The only one of those I've used is a Muzzy. Killed probably 15 with them, great heads. Probably as good as any on bone, imo. Never had an issue with blood trails, I used 4 blade heads.

    I used muzzy mx4's from when I started hunting up until last year. I then switched to the killzones & no looking back!

    Shoot them and see what flys the best. If I was in your shoes ... Slick Tricks and Forget about it.

    They have some objective broadhead tests on YouTube.

    I have shot each extensively from my bow and all fly the same as my FP's. I am merely looking to you guys on a report of the quality to make my decision

    I like muzzy i switched to mechanical and got tired of paying 40 for 3 so I switched back. The muzzys are way mor duable than any mechamical ive used.

    Here is a quality decision. Dump all the broad heads and find consistency. Many have said the tricks are rock solid right out of the gate. This coming from some heavy hitters and precisely why I hunt with them. Decide on consistent, reliable broad heads and avoid the chex mix.

    Tats really what I'm leaning to at the moment. How do they perform on animals? I want to use them for a hog hunt

    They are a completely solid, 100% machined head. Easy to resharpen, and litterally cannot fail. I would feel comfortable shooting them at ANY animal.

    If I wasn't going to use them for coyotes I would give them to you for sure
