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. :)

I spent this year hunting with the rage 3 blade. I am a huge fan of a fixed blade broadhead but heard so many good things about the rage I had to try them. After 3 deer and one turkey this fall I'm still a fan of fixed blade broadheads.

The biggest problem I had was premature opening. Once in a ground blind and twice in the woods I had bumped the broadhead and when pulling back on an animal I notice one of the blades hanging.

They are also less accurate than broadheads or at least the 100grn thunderheads I compared them to.

They make a nice hole but the exit hole is not exactly opposite of the entry which says the arrow floats through the body. Fixed blade heads blow through and leave a predictable exit hole.

I suggest you try fixed blades. The Montec G5 as stated above are very good. Thunderheads are great for the price. If you have a problem making them fieldpoint accurate then re-tune your bow or practice more.

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

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 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 use G5 Montecs and love them. My friend at school is using them for turcky this spring.

Thunderheads and mostly G5 Montecs now. With the recurve, I bust out big cut on contact heads like snuffers or any of the various 2 bladed heads with the little bleeder blades.

Say all you want about mechanical broadheads, but if you ask any guide or highly experienced hunter, they will tell you that more deer are lost when using mechanicals. Don't even mention them for bigger game. I don't mess with them. I have no trouble hitting and killing precisely and quickly with fixed blades, so why bother with the risk?

125grain thunder heads

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.

Muzzy 100 grain 3 blades

For deer I use G5 Montecs 100-grianers (1-1/16" cut). For turkey I am going to use Vortex Pro Extreme 100-grainers (2-1/2" cut.)

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 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.

This man was cut to the bone with a broadhead almost identicsl to these.

For me, always, the Muzzy MX-3 Broadheads. Mechanicals are too unreliable.

I use the Rage 2 blade and shot a small buck (3 pointer) this fall. I am also going to try the rage this spring on a turkey.

I love the Rage for deer and have no problems with them. But at the archery shop there are constantly people coming in saying that it either didn't penetrate or didn't kill a turkey. I have had this same thing happen to me where it didn't get penetration because of all the feathers. So for turkeys I recommend a muzzy fixedblade.

Like several in here I like the Montec G5's. Have no experience with mechanicals because they are illegal in the state I live. The G5's really impressed me when I decided to sacrifice one for the matter of knowledge. Shot one at 20 yards into a concrete block. Head Survived. Tip was flat, but the blades where sharp and intact. G5's stayed on target better for me too

The rocket hammerheads i have never had a problem with yet, i shot a turkey facing me at 15 yards he jumped up in the air, landed, walked ten yards and fell over dead barely even flopped. They are a over the top mechanical and people say those are bad but i have found nothing wrong with them. I also shot 2 deer with them and they worked great.

Just bought 100gr Shuttle T-Locks yesterday......Don't know yet but i've seen alot of pictures from the old man that runs my local bow shop.....they seem to be impressive. Hopefully we'll see in 5 weeks and 1 1/2 days!!!

Slick Trick 125's 2 1/4" inches of fixed already opened cutting that fly like field points! Nothing to go wrong with these!

I use GRIM REAPPER 4 blades and they leave a hole the size of a coke bottle...LP

I use three blade Muzzy's, work great never had a problem!
