I refuse to use mechanical broadheads. To much can go wrong and they spend energy when the blades open. I shot three does this year with my muzzy four blade broadheads. All three deer ran no more than 30 yds and expired in sight.

Ive never read a good review on mechanical broadheads. I also seem to remember in a past issue the statement that mechanical broadheads are one of the things outfitters frown most upon when a hunter shows up to camp. 75% of lost animals are from mechanicals.

Now tell me, why would anyone risk that? Its called respect for the game.

I use the Rage 2 blade for deer. Check your state laws for using the Rage 3 blades because they are considered by my state as barbed. Luckily the person who told me this did not give me a ticket. :)

Every mechanical I've tried has had a few times when they prematurely opened.

I am a big fan of muzzy broadheads. I've shot mechanical as well as fixed and I can't find anything that I can trust to get the job done more than a muzzy.

Are the Muzzy 4 blades better than the three blades?

I like 4 blade fixed broadheads. They are more forgiving than mechanical. The o-rings on some mechanicals seem to break quiet a bit.

...Although, Rage broadheads make huge entry holes and work very well for a lot of people. Look at the video on YouTube about Rage broadheads to see for yourself.

I have to say muzzy 3 blade. Mechanicals are out of the question.

I've posted this before but thought it might be worth repeating. I practiced shooting the Rage 3 blade with one blade open. The arrow would hit about 3 inches low the the right everytime. I have noticed that when I shoot with the blades closed I will on ocassion hit low to the right on a good release. I figure that they are opening in flight or on the release. In all fairness after a few shots the rubber ring will get worn and may increase the chances of it opening but why take the chance.

I use 125 grain Woodsmans, and Magnus Snuffers.

I use the Rage Three-Blade Broadheads too and I love them.....
The blades on a RAGE cut a wide swath as they go, for maximum tissue damage.........
The system employs an O-ring that acts as a small shock absorber for the blades, protecting them if they hit the bone.........The penetration tests prove that, in spite of their impressive cutting diameter, RAGE broadheads out-penetrate fixed-blade broadheads and over-the-top expandables..........

I used Wac'Em broadheads for Deer and Antelope not to durable but fly good. I'm gonna be using n.a.p. Bloodrunners this year and I'm sure those would do a number on a turkey.

I'm a huge fan of mechanical broadheads. I started out using the Spitfire 100, but i switched to the Satilite Deadringer 100. The Deadringer isn't manufactured anymore, but it was one of the first mechanicals to utilize the rear deploying blade concept. Many of the product reviews of the Deadringer were negative. However, they are extremly accurate and cut massive entry and exit holes. The deer Ive shot with them look like they were hit with a 150gr 30-06 bullet. I have to search Ebay in order to find people who still have them.

NAP nitrons. 100 gr. 3 blade.

I use 3 blade muzzy 100 gr for deer and i have no problem i still dont trust mechanical heads to open when it really counts like on a nice buck but thats my op .but i here good things about the rage heads wouldnt mind shoting them into balistic gel to see how thy do

I use Muzzy MX 3 in 100g and they work great. Blood trails are very important were I hunt because animals can disappear from view in less than 30 yards.

Another great option are German Kinetic Silverflames. They are two-blade cut on contact broadheads. These suckers are rediculously sharp and easy to resharpen. You might get lightheaded when you here that these guys run $30 a pop. These broadheads are capable of punching holes through animals like Cape Buffalo,Elk Moose, Bear and other large animals. If you think the regular deer hunter doesn't need these that is true but when it comes to geting maximum penatration and quick kills even on iffy shots these are them. These are EXTREMELY SHARP be care while removing arrows or this could happen.
