broadhead report

I used the Rocky Mountain Premier 75's last year. They flew great but on impact I guess they fell apart. I'm not sure cause the exit hole was fairly big like the blades stayed in but all that was left was the ferrel. I'll be using Muzzys next year.

Here is the damage of a slick trick. This is the entrance hole on a cow elk. The hole was over 2 inches wide! This was the first kill I have made with this head and I will be using it again!

nap spitfire 125grain shot a cow at an angle hit one lung and went up and in to her throat cuting her jugular about a 2 inch entrance wound and she didnt go any where laid down and passed right there

North Slope,

thats a heck of a hole, thanks for sharing

9er

I used a wacem on my buck this year. I was not able to find the arrow. And was not able to find the buck for 5 days. Come to find out he only went about 150 yards but the body was not in good shape and I didn't wand to go diging to find out were exactly I hit. Or what the damage was.

But It did kill the deer.

I am a muzzy fan myself, but one of my clients hit a book bull at thirty yards and punched a silver dollar sized hole thru both sides and blew lung out the far side with a 100 grain three blade thunderhead. I was impressed, the bull had no chance of surviving such trama. I say a well placed arrow is as devastating as ANY bullet.

PRO

I agree Pro, it may be even more so.

GRIM REAPERS ARE THE WAY TO GO. FLY STRAIGHT KILL QUICK. ONLY WAY TO GO

Sonic 100's . . . thjey are awesome and penetrate better that my Thunderheads.

Those new HELLRAZORS from "new archery products look awesome"!

SNUFFERS

I personally love both the Thunderheads and Two bladed Magnus Stingers, both in 100 grain. Both are super tough and always fly perfect, and they are razor blade sharp. :)

I shot a mature bull elk this year @ 40 yds in his bed with a 125 gr. G5 Tekan II. The only reason I used an expandable was because it was windy. The bull was quartering away and I hit him mid body, pierced both lungs and the arrow slammed into the off shoulder. He went about 60 yards and collapsed. I did not hit a rib but I thought it was pretty good performance with an expandable.
More interestingly... I shot a whitetiail doe @ 25 yds, hit her a little far forward. When I boned her out, I examined the ball of the ball joint in the front shoulder and discovered that the broadhead had actually broke about 1/3 of it clean off and the arrow continued on it's path with out even minor aparent deflection. It angled back (consistant with her standing angle), went through the heart and all but 4 inches of the fletched end of the arrow came out next to her leg on the opposite side. She sprinted 60 yds and collapsed. I was exceedingly happy with these results. The broadhead I used on her was a Magnus Stinger 125gr. 4 blade.
My friend shoots 100 gr. SteelForce and killed a big bull elk quartering towards him, shooting at a very steep angle downhill. The arrow broke through the edge of the shoulder blade, broke a rib and smoked through the lungs without really changing course. He only got about 2/3 of his arrow of penetration but the bull only went about 50 yards.

My friend and I shoot 400gr beman ICS hunters @290fps and 440 gr Easton Axis @260fps respectively and have had great results on marginal shots with cut on contact heads which have a low blade angle such as the magnus stingers, steel force, snuffers, wensel woodsman etc. and a relatively heavy arrow by today's hi-tech archers. Neither of us have to move our sights when switching from target points to these broadheads even out to 60 yds.
I don't advocate taking marginal shots but every hunter will eventually make a bad shot and hope for the best. I think choosing these style of broadheads and shooting a fairly heavy arrow will increase the chances of a marginal hit being a vital one. That's my opinion.....

To say I was not impressed with my 100gr tight points would be a understatement.
