I used to use Zwickey 135s. I think they were Diamond Eskimos or something. I'd shoot them into a sand bank to tune and bring the edge back in about 2 minutes. I shot a cow one day, and a deer the next with the same arrow and broadhead. They're just about indestructible, but you have to get them on straight and the bow finely tuned or they plane like a mother.

I'm interested to see what comes of this. Base only on my unofficial experience with them my thoughts are that the Montex will win for mainstream 1 piece and the G5 Striker or Muzzy's for replaceable blade heads. Now, there are other high end broadheads that I've never had the opportunity to even see, let alone try but I'd imagine Grizzlystick and Silver flames heads would do well.  Only problem is, considering cost, anyone who has one might be reluctant to donate it.
one thing I do know for sure is Muzzy is no match for a Wasp Boss....I already been down that road but as far as the others we will see.....hopefully in the next week or two we can do our test BUT I WISH SOME WOULD ROUND UP SOME OLDER BROADHEADS FOR USE ...Kinda hard to buy one broadhead ...if we can donate one then some others should help us out and do the same .....JUST MONEY  :dunno: :chuckle: :chuckle: :rolleyes:

I have a montecs, magnus snuffer ss, magnus buzzcut, and zwickey I can donate.

Did anyone else see the price on those Solid broadheads, $75 BUCKS! You gotta be kidding!  That is 25 bucks each, with a 12 dollar arrow that would be 37 bucks being flung down range.

blackhorn: so you're paying $144/dozen for arrows.  Not cheap by any means.  You could have bought a dozen arrows for less than $60.  Why did you choose the $144 per dozen arrows?  Did you spend less than $250 on a bow?  If not, you probably could have.  So why did you buy a more expensive bow?  If you feel $75 for a pkg of 3 Solid S30V broadheads is too much, then obviously go with something cheaper that you feel is better and have confidence in.  You have many choices available.  I, for one, am impressed with the Solid broadhead.   I have no issues with paying for quality and performance.

GT, I don't have a problem paying for quality.  But $75 bucks!  That is hard to justify in my opinion.

A friend of mine killed a bull, bear, and buck all in the same year with the same zwickey many years ago, pretty indestructable.  :tup:
