Broadheads Theres been a huge thread on here about Rage, one on G5 Montecs and now the thunderhead not giving a blood trail. What is the ultimate broadhead? Is there a ultimate, always blood trail, always kill if you put a good shot on the deer broadhead? I was just wondering if yal use what yal think would be called the ultimate broadhead for u or just your favorite. Havent heard anything on Muzzys on here but some people say slick tricks are good so just post your broadhead and what u like and dislike about it.
I really dont think there is just one ultimate broadhead. I believe there are a lot of parts to broadheads. Everyone has different experiences with the same broadhead. Making sure you get a few things right can make any broadhead the ultimate broadhead. Making sure your bow is tuned to the broadheads. Make sure your broadheads are sharp, I mean real sharp and make sure you make a good shot. When these three things come together, there is no doubt in my mind that each broadhead on the market will have good results. You can shoot the biggest broadhead on the market and still have crappy results. Shoot a high or a little back, and your not going to have a great blood trail. Shoot a 1" sharp broadhead through the boiler room, and you will have a good blood trail.
The ultimate broadhead is the one that is placed in the kill zone and is SUPER sharp ... period! All the other crap is just hype IMO
I haven't had to blood trail one yet with the NAP 2-blade bloodrunner! Have fallen over within sight so far...
PT is right on the mark... i am gonna post a big photo thread here comin up got some new stingers, and was impressed with the quality. so i am gonna Mic up a bunch of blades, to see how thick they are.
How in the heck do you make something like bow hunting "concrete" when it is loaded with so many varibles? The ultimate broadhead should be placed on the shelf and sold next to the ultimate fishing lure. The "ultimate" provides the shooter with confidence. When the shooter does his job right, then the broadhead will do its job right-"most" of the time. I've seen enough to never assume an "always" stance. Bottomline, animals spend every second of their lives surviving. Nothing changes when they have holes through them.
I have harvested deer with cut on contact, fixed blades, and mechanicals. It is a personal preference and as someone said, as long as its sharp and you put it in the boiler room, they AIN'T going far. Just last year I shot a 300 lb black bear with a crimson talon. Right behind the shoulder through both lungs. Watched him fall over in 80 yards. Only 2 drops of blood in that 80 yards. Shot a deer with the same broadhead (new blades) a month later, it ran about 100 yards and it looked like you went through the woods with a bucket of blood pouring it out all the way. It takes skill to hit the deer good, but you do have to have luck on your side to get a super blood trail. Give deer credit they can be very resilient.
I agree I have watched a deer who was hit a little back, run about 50 yards stop pull out hair and pack the hole with hair. Will not forget that day.
This whole broadhead subject has about killed me. In the past week, I've researched everything I could, reading ever topic I could I find. Trying to find an answer as to what I should use. Rage to me, seems like Barnes bullets. People either love them or hate them, there is no "ehhh they're ok". There is 3 broadheads that have really caught my eye: Magnus Stinger 4 Blade Muzzy 4 Blade G5 Tekan II I've tried to make a decision based on results that I could see, and Im buying some Tekan's from another member here. I don't think there is a definitive answer to this question. It seems it is easier to start at the other end, and ask what broadheads are junk, and work yourself towards finding the best for you. But then again, I'm a noob, what do I know
No such thing. All the current heads on the market will do a great job given you hit where your supposed to. However no matter what head your using sometimes things happen and you won't recover the animal, just the way it is.
