    Hey guys quick question. I'm heading to Florida for a hog hunt over spring break and I'm having trouble picking which broad heads I should use I have muzzy 3 blades and rage 2 blades. If anyone can help me decide I'd really appreciate it.

    Of the two... Use the muzzy. Stick to fixed blade heads for hogs.

    a rage 2 blade will barely maintain integrity through a deer; no way I'd trust one to kill a hog.
    I say this as a recently-reformed Rage user.

    I've hit trees with Muzzys and only needed to replace the blade, and that's only because it was dulled a bit. Ferule was fine.
    (now ask me why I hit the tree...Muzzys can wind plane a bit.)

    I've killed pigs with a rage, but have done much better with three blade muzzy.
    My son did real good with slicktrick.
    My wife uses three blade monte by g5.

    See I'm having a problem with the muzzys "screwballing" in flight I've got them lined up perfectly and everything. I really appreciate the input

    PaTreeAssassin, I've had the same experience with Muzzy, that's why I don't use them.

    Use fixed blade cut on contact broadheads, there are a lot of good ones.

    As others have said I would use a fixed blade head. As far as your muzzles flying bad I would give Slick Tricks a try. They fly identical to field points for me!
