broadhead opinions

[crossbow hunter]

I'm not impressed by the broadheads I've been using. EXP 100 grain 2 blade expandables and Snyper broadheads which are similar. they fly like a field point, just not doing enough damage IMO. I shoot a Horton Hunter Supreme and that's what the guy was using when I bought it off him a couple years back. anyone have suggestions on something else to try?

[uglykat26]

i have been hearing alot of good stuff about rage broadheads bowhunter 1023 just took a nice doe with one said it cut the offside lung in half

[Francis]

I bought rages and like em.

[crossbow hunter]

I looked them up on the internet, did'nt realize I could get 2- blade expandables, will check them out next time I'm at MC Sports. thanks for input.

[gunrac]

When I bought my hunter several years back. The fella suggested Spitfire 100. I'm not complaining.

[hookedonbigblues]

First thing I think you need to go to 125gr 100s are a little to lite for a crossbow. Im shooting a TenPoint crossbow with G5s 125gr, I used to use 100gr well 125s the fly more true and shoot tighter pattern. another thing the cutting hole is bigger.

[coonskinner]

hey i seen a lil broadhead that looks like a sabot...yuh cant even see the blades...anybuddy know what it is...:mischeif:

[FredT]

I use, with no complaints, Spitfire 125s. 4 shots, 4 pass throughs with my Parker xbow. I also hear only good about Rage.

Not knowing a lot about bows or arrows. I can only tell you about the experence Ive had.
Is bigger ar heavier really better? I don't know, I've only shot the 100's.
Not that I would take the shot, but I can shoot a 3" group at 50yd. with the 100's. X-bows are like 22 rifle's, Just put the cross hair's on it an squeeze the trigger. Knowing your distance is probably the hardest thing. I'm glad God created range finder's.
Were talking 175 lb. pull. I've shot the pass thru's an once shot an 8pt. going thru an breaking it's leg on the other side. It went 60yds. an dropped.
Remind's me of a rifle load. If it work's good, why would you change it.

[epe]

Not sure where you heard using 125's are better. The dealer we get our stuff recomends 100 grain heads. Slicktricks or thunderheads. I used to shoot thunderhead 125's, then I switched to 100's . Have not switched back. Have not hit a deer that they did not take down..

[punisher]

100 grain spitfire or grim reapers do a fine job on deer.

[NoTrespassing]

I love my 3 blade fixed 125gr Muzzy's. There is something simple about a fixed system. I never made the transition to mechanical because the fixed blades shoot well from my bow.

[Slippy]

only Grim Reapers are allowed in my quiver. :coolgleamA:

[Azzy]

I use 100 gr 3 blade Muzzy's but now I'm going to switch to Grim Reapers. :gaga:

[Slippy]

I use 100 gr 3 blade Muzzy's ....

...uh....huh.....:rolleyes:

[Azzy]

...uh....huh.....:rolleyes:

Seriously. I do. But since you use GR....that's probably the best thing to use....so....that's what I'm gonna do.

[TheCream]

I use 100 gr 3 blade Muzzy's but now I'm going to switch to Grim Reapers. :gaga:

What convinced you to switch??? :mischeif:

[Azzy]

What convinced you to switch??? :mischeif:

Anybody who can pinpoint the beginning of the rut is a genius in my mind. I will follow him and read what he writes as gospel.

I admit it. I am a Slippy groupie.

[Slippy]

Seriously. I do. But since you use GR....that's probably the best thing to use....so....that's what I'm gonna do.

You guys should have seen what the Reaper did to my buck on 11/7/08. I almost felt bad the carnage was that devastating, but, the suffering was nill to minimal and I'm all about good clean ethical kill shots. :coolgleamA:

If I was a kid, I could stick my fist in the entry hole, as an adult, I could have stuck my head in the exit hole but I didn't try it, and I have a damn big head.

I used to be very skeptical about mechanicals, but not no more. Their accuracy is just sick.

[Azzy]

I decided that I'm not going to use them anymore.

I don't know if I would go that far, but when wisdom speaks, those who seek knowledge should listen.

Fact is, there is some great broadheads out there and it would be hard to argue mine is better than yours, but I do know muzzy's suck cause I used to shoot them. Best fixed blade I shot were probably the Tighpoints? :confused:

[Azzy]

Well, I guess since you said that Muzzy's suck, I better go back to the GR. Yep...that's what I'll do.

[fishforfun]

I like slick tricks,never had a problem with them at all very sharp and deadly...

[epe]

Where is the picture of your buck?? Muzzy's suck? Maybe it was the person shooting them. And what are tighpoints? You may have a big head, but it is because of your ego. Post some pics and we may believe you a little more..... probably not though..

[Slippy]

Where is the picture of your buck?? .

On a camera, where else would they be? :coco:

[epe]

Well unless you are stuck in the 80's (which by your avatar, you may be) they should be on a memory card, downloaded to your computer, and posted on here. Unless... you are full of crap, like we all know you are. I can come take a picture of your deer and post it on here so everyone can see what the all mighty slippy shot from his great rut knowledge..

[Slippy]

Well unless you are stuck in the 80's (which by your avatar, you may be) that was almost funny....almost...they should be on a memory card, the card goes IN and is IN a camera :coco: downloaded to your computer not yet, wasn't my camera, and posted on here. Unless... you are full of crap, like we all know you are. I can come take a picture of your deer and post it on here so everyone can see what the all mighty slippy shot from his great rut knowledge..

lets see...., post a picture on here of me and my deer, get ridiculed over my looks, that I should have waited for a bigger deer, that my gear is garbage....that I need to lose some weigh, etc. all, that just really doesn't appeal to me. Too many negativers on here. I'd take a picture of the meat in my freezer, but I'd probably be accused of poaching it or something, and right now in my life, I just don't need that type of crap. :tsk:

Back to Topic......Grim Reapers are the best ever. :coolgleamA:

You'd have a hard time convincing the deer I have shot with Muzzy's that they suck. I chalk that one up to user error on your part. ;) :D

[Slippy]

I didn't necessarily mean, the damage they inflict. Yeah, any decently constructed and sharp broadhead properly placed will do the trick.

I'll tell ya what bud, you bring your muzzy's, we'll set my block out to about 50 yards, and we'll shoot a couple, loser buys the beers. ??

Want some? :coolgleamA:

[Cal923]

I'll put a keg on TheCream...

[Slippy]

Are you old enough to buy alcoholic beverages? :biggrin:

legally? :whistle:

yeah, I'm 47. I've bought my share. :coolgleamA:

[epe]

Well if you know everything about bowhunting, and know the rut, you should have taken a HUGE buck. No one said anything about posting a pic of you or your equipment. You having doubts because you shot a small buck or are you just lying out your butt? And onto the grim reapers, have you shot a deer with all broadheads? Because if not, how do you know they are the best? Shooting into cowhide and gel is not the same as hitting a shoulder blade..

[Slippy]

... Shooting into cowhide and gel is not the same.....


so I've heard. :whistle:

I've shot enough to know better Sparky.:coolgleamA:

And its not my land, so I shoot the management bucks, the 8ts with no signs of mass, tine length or character. :coolgleamA:

[epe]

You are so full of crap I can smell you at work here in Columbus from Lithopolis. You are shooting management bucks around here? If that was the case you would not need to hunt the rut. But you being the almighty one, you know that already, right? :rolleyes: I thought I saw you in gander mt last night getting ready to give a seminar, then I realized it was a boy scout meeting.

[Azzy]

1) I'm in columbus, so you smelling me is quite possible. Look out your window, do you see two big cranes? Keep watching, about once an hour, a fat guy will step out of a construction trailer in a white hard hat and look around for 5 minutes like he knows what he's doing, thats me.

2) I shot the buck in SE Ohio, which I announced earlier, so before you start flapping your chops, get your facts straight Cheech. :shhh:

3) Why you so jealous? Hell, we live so close I'd be more than willing to teach you some pointers and how to shoot a compound? Heck, we might even become friends if you were willing to give it a try. I am happily married so don't get the wrong idea. :tsk:

Heck, I might even help you get a deer.....

[Slippy]

This wouldn't be the puffed up chest beating you were talking about, would it? :rolleyes:

bring your little bow too. :coolgleamA:

[Azzy]

I'll bring the beer, too, cause you're my hero!! :bouncy:

"management bucks".......HAHA!! I'm still lauging about that one! :rolleyes:

(( The fact that you shot a managment buck in se ohio makes it worse. There is so much easy access to public land, and private land down there it is not funny. I should know as, that is where I hunt.))

((Until I messed up my shoulder, I believe it would be me showing you how to shoot. And sorry, fat old big headed men are'nt my type.))

Heck, I might even help you get a deer.....
((I have no problem getting deer, or showing pictures of them as I am not ashamed of them.))

Now get back to your trailer.

[Slippy]

Miller Lite please....

Management Buck, I managed to shoot one. :coolgleamA:

[tlbuck612]

Not sure if it really matters, but I use the Rage 3 blade. I have for the past two years and they are great. They leave a devestating hole on impact and exit and cut good. I took my 12point last year to have it processed and the guy said what in the world did that kind of damage, I told him..remember last years 8point..same broadhead did this as well. Neither deer traveled more than 45 yards before keeling over. Both shots were great and both heavy bleeders! I swear by the Rage..my husband on the other hand is using Slick Tricks.. said he doesn't want to get on the Rage bandwagon:mischeif: . But I will stick with them! Of course I am not a professional it is just an opinion and you know what they say about those:shhh: .

[epe]

Miller Lite please....

Management Buck, I managed to shoot one. :coolgleamA:

I shot several management bucks this weekend- with my video camera. I would post them but someone may make fun of how ugly the deer are, or how bad a camera I have... :rolleyes: :whistle:

what, I'm right about something and that makes me a "dumbass"???

Dumbasses are haters and doubters who can't kill their own deer with a compound bow and take out their frustrations on those who can, i.e. me. :coolgleamA:

I don't preach to be no Tom Miranda, but some of your hard headed knuckleheads need to snap the frick out of it. You are not tough cause you can mouth off to be people from a keyboard and I've never killed anything sitting at a computer. I try to share a little experience and knowledge, and I'm blackballed....I guess you and Azzy and Creamer are the resident know it alls and everyone else is just supposed to be here to listen to you guys....I'ma doubt'ner. :tsk:

I thought this was a website where sportsmen come together, not a damned testosterone contest.

Yet another thing you've been wrong about.

[epe]

How are you right? The rut is not going on strong yet.. ESPECIALLY in southern ohio. You are off by at least a week, maybe two.. I have visual proof it is not going on. You are the one with the testosterone contest. Saying you know the exact time the rut is going to peak. Come on now. Giving a seminar at Gander? But we are the ones with a ego.. You say you shot a deer, but you are afraid to post it up? And i do not say anything on here I would not say to anyone if they were standing in front of me..

[HeartLunger]

I wonder what dumb thing Slippy is about to say...

[Slippy]

.... I have visual proof it is not going on. ....

I have visual proof it happened. Dead deer don't lie but in the back of my truck. :coolgleamA:

Neither did the bucks running around with their tongues dragging the ground......

Well, I'm the resident know-it-all and The Cream is....well....a know-it-a-little-less-than-me. So he's kinda a know-it-all.....but not quite.

Do you have any stock tips I might be intrested in? :rolleyes:

Well you say you saw bucks running with tongues dragging, and I have video of bucks acting normal.. Gee I wonder what people would believe.

[HeartLunger]

I predict Slippy is about to say something stupid.

[Slippy]

.. Gee I wonder what people would believe.

well, I don't have no fancy deer cameras, but a dead deer speaks 1000 words, would you like my tag number so you can verify it through ODNR?? I can grab that for you real quick tonight if you please.....:irked:

I love my 3 blade fixed 125gr Muzzy's. There is something simple about a fixed system. I never made the transition to mechanical because the fixed blades shoot well from my bow.

I've used both 125 and 100 gr. Muzzy and nothing went very far after a hit. I use the 4 blade as I just can't get the hang of assembling the 3 blade. I even tried using some magic words, but still no luck. :D

[badger]

Slippy, you really should read what you are typing before hitting the submit button. You bring alot of this, if not all on yourself. I'm sure you are a good guy that wants to help out, and share what you have learned, but that aspect is not showing up here.

I'm very happy with Snuffer broadheads. I've had great success with the three blade, and two blade models.
