I use fixed blades. I was told by the old timers, not to add anything that has more moving parts. Thats just more things to go wrong. Muzzy for me.....Plus if you hit them in the lungs what does bit matter.

Im with you ttwig, I cant get myself to shoot anything but Muzzys 4 blade. I had a bad mishap with mechanicals when i first started bow hunting 14 years ago and i know technology has improved but i still cant break myself to switch. Muzzys all the way
I have been shooting muzzy's for 11 years, 1st year for Rage, have been shooting the practice tip and 1 real deal. they shoot just like field points. the only problem I see are the O-rings. After say 10 shots you will have to replace them. But in real hunting situation, a broadhead probably will not last that long anyway. Some people say, they open up when you shoot them, have not had that problem at all. also, they say you can't stalk with them, I can see where that would be a problem. I think if you shoot feathers fixed broadheads are good. This year I'm shooting blazers with a DXT, played with the fixed a little. They seem to veer off. possibly because my new bow is a good bit faster than my switchback.
I have to agree with you guys ,fixed is the only way to go. If you take some time and set up your arrows right then you will be good. If Expandable Broadheads are so great why is it illegal to hunt Alaska big game with them? You can not hunt Africa’s Dangerous Game either. You have to hunt all with fixed Broadheads. I personally think the G5 Montec is the best out there. I have taken 2 Alaska bull moose, 3Black Bears, 1 Alaska Brown Bear, 1 Doll Sheep, 5 Whitetail deer, all were taken with a 100 gr G5 with an Easton 3-39 ACC arrow. I shoot in Vegas, NFAA indoor national, and many other big target shoots. People say that Expandable fly like flied point well I have slit three arrows with G5. I not trying to say Im the best out there by no means, just saying I have a lot of experience hunting and with shooting, This is just my personal opinion. Good Luck with which ever one you choose to hunt with.
well i got my first deer with one. clean kill dropped her in 30 yards, broadhead went thru both lungs and left a massive hole. The best thing about it was that because there was only 2 blades it never even touched a rib which was part luck but also good design. i know some of you guys are sold on fixed blades but hey this things the real deal.
Question, What would happen if you hit a solid rib? I'm pretty sure my MUZZY would blow straight thru. I hit a deer in the shoulder blade once and it ricoched and drove through to the other side. Would the Rage do that? Hope all of you guys that shoot deer hit them in the right spot and get your deer, no matter what blades you use. Good Luck
hah actually butchering it this morning i found out that i was wrong, it did cut thru a rib on both sides and yes its still intact. it looked like it missed the ribs last night but it was dark and I was wrong. the only reason i bring that up is because you have a better chance of a complete pass thru if you dont hit a rib. but anyways i was trying to put down fixed blades, there just as deadly, but this is really good broadhead too, aint no dought in my mindQuestion, What would happen if you hit a solid rib?
