What Broadhead do you like?

This may have been a topic of discussion in the past, but I'm new to the site. I read up a little on the G5 post, but I shoot Mangus Suffer SS broadheads. They seem to be durable and well made, but they are the first broadheads I have owned and would like to hear feedback about them and info on any other quality broadheads that any of you would suggest. Also I was checking out the Hostage arrow rest and coming from a wisker bisket I figure it's a step in the right direction as far as less friction on the arrow at release, but still offering the convenience of a secure arrow as I stalk. Let me know what you all think...

Thanks

I personaly shoot the Wac'ems. And love them. They fly just like my field tips, making it easy to switch from target to hunting. The only drawback to them is that they have a small diameter. I have heard good things about the Wac'em XT though, they are sapossed to have a diameter of 1 1/4" wich would be nice.

Thanks for the input! For the two of you that said Wac'ems. What makes them fly so true, or like field tips opposed to other broadheads. I did noticed that my broadheads (suffer ss) made my arrows sail a little down and to the right last year. I took my bow into Jakes Archery, they were able to paper tune it and solve the problem so it may not have been the broadheads... Not really sure.

Innerloc's are great and indestructible.

I use Rage 3 blade for most animals and the Bass Pro 's Blackout broadhead for elk. the blackout is the same design as the striker and the wackem but for about 3.50 a head less. Just make sure that they spin true whatever head you decide upon.

Spinning true is obviously important, so when trying to practice shooting your broadheads... how often do you practice with them, and do you keep some that are straight out of the package just for hunting, and does practice shooting with broadheads affect it spinning true at all? That was a loaded question I know... :not-worthy

I like Muzzys and Wasps, not from experience, because I''m new to bow hunting, but from recommendations from folks who have been at it a while. This will sound dumb, but the Wasps look really cool. The guy who said Muzzys are the best is a guy I've talked to for quite a while now. He said something about how they will go through a 55 gal steel barrel.

I just found out a guy in my 'hood says he likes Wacums too. He shoots comp and is sombody I would like to get some pointers from.

BTW, Bowtech43, I see you're in Lehi. I live down on the south end of town around Center St and 19th south.
Happy huntin' :thumb

I have shot the Thunderheads for a long time, and have been fairly happy with them. I recently decided to switch to a cut-on-contact one piece broadhead, and chose the Montec G5. I have shot 6 big game animals with them so far, and have had complete pass-throughs on all but one, which I hit in the spine so that's understandable. They fly well, but not to the same point as my field points, but neither did the Thunderheads.

This year I'm shooting Tight Point Shuttle T-Lock 100gr heads...So far so good, things are built like a tank and spin better than most of the heads I've shot over the years.

Thanks for all the replies, I'm stoked to start hunting. I haven't shot anything with a bow yet so I guess I'll give these Snuffer SS broadheads a try since I spent the money and see what happens. I may end up with Wac'ems or another one of your suggestions. Thank you all.

Nuttinbutchunks, I live off of 1500 North just west of the tracks. Where abouts are you planning on hunting? I'm going to hit up the Wasatch Front and then down to the southeast area near Moab. Only less than 3 weeks till opening day, can't wait!!!

I like the Strikers...they are similar to the Wac Em's but in my opinion sharper and machined better. One added bonus, they fly great!

rage 2 or 3 blade doesn't matter for me they are both devastating... also, depends what state your going to be hunting as well as far as cutting diameter goes... it would be nice to have some uniformity out there though thats for sure

I love Rocket Steelheads in 3 blade 100 gr.
I believe they penetrate harder and better than any other head.
my .02 worth. :thumb

I shoot the Grim Reapers. I love them!! If I want to shoot fixed blade, I shoot nitrons. They fly just like my field tips, no adjusting the sights at all with either one of these broadheads.

I used the Rage 2 blade last year and will not use again, the heas did not open up all the way. I am going to use either Shuttle T-locs or Slick Tricks this year. I also want to try the pistonpoints because they are made right here where I live.

thunderhead 100's; they fly much different than field tips, but more importantly they all fly the same for pretty good patterns; just cut a knock in half and the fletching #-o , which is a good thing, of course. I really have not experimented around, simply use the saying "if it aint broke don't fix it."
