For those that have graduated from using training wheels, any good solid fixed blade! There are several good ones.

Think most fall for the “blood trail” they supposedly leave. What most don’t realize is that 1” fixed blade will leave just as good a blood trail.



typically most shoot mechanicals so they don't have to resight their bow in and tear up or buy different targets.

your confused if you think a 1" hole will leak as much as fast as a 1 3/4" hole. enough for an easy tracking job and recovery absolutely but no where as much blood on the ground. .

tell me I'm wrong then why fire fighters don't just use a 5/8" garden. hose to put out fires.

Less moving parts means less stuff that can go wrong and I've had almost everything that can go wrong go wrong while archery hunting. I did go to a fall away rest just because the accuracy was worth the risk. And knock on wood it hasn't failed me yet.

If you’re waiting for deer to bleed out, you’re in for a long tracking job. Again, lack of experience but still pretending you know it all. Lack of oxygen or puncturing that heart is what kills the animal. Same as a bullet that doesn’t exit yet still destroys the insides.

i know you cant understand and comprehend what you read but you can't even read what you yourself wrote . a 1" head will not leak as much as fast as a bigger hole as you claim. but try to switch it up.

and things die from blood loss and or lack of oxygen typical when shot with a bow. faster blood loss and less oxygen faster means shorter trails. bigger holes accomplish that faster than smaller holes. bullets also have a shock factor especially when moving over 2100 fps.

I don't care what anyone says or shoots, but mechanicals have a higher fail rate than fixed heads. I know more people that switched to mechanicals and eventually switched back. They both will work, but fixed heads are better if you get the right ones.

Most all good heads will kill but killing isn't the same as finding. A good blood trail is the key to finding that animal . and is the only benefit large cutting diameter mechanical heads basically offer.

Muzzy 3 blade. When the hunt of a lifetime hinges on your equipment, why use a broadhead that hinges? wink All personal choices.

Zwicky Eskimos for me, both longbow and recurve. Sharp, durable and easy to sharpen. And reasonably priced.

anti gov I had a muzzy look like those after busting through a pelvis and staying in it when it ran off. I replaced the blades didn't realize I should have patented them.and marketed it. .

seriously I have seen those in the shelf and thought about trying them. how do they fly.

100 grain Slick Tricks. I will never use a mechanical broadhead again. Some love them and I got no problem with it, but I have had a couple fails using the Rage heads. Slick Tricks just work well for me.
