Ive shot muzzy and they never failed. Theres lots of great heads out there. The new truefire t1 is the next one im going to try.

Be carefull using the trufire t1, there is a barb on the back of the blade that may make them illegal here.

It is illegal as the definition is written in the regs.  But, I've seen exceptions for similar things in the past.  That barb can be quite big if your arrow diameter is small.  So if I was going to shoot it I'd be sure to have a signed exception by the state.  Never know when some gamie with a Napoleonic inferiority complex is going to start getting nasty about it.

I have a ? for you guys. I was looking at the Steel Force Sabertooth. It seems like it would make a bigger hole but would they be legal.

I wasn't sure if the serrated edges would go against the definition of a legal broadhead (smooth) or be considered a type of barb.

The barb were talking about is on the back(unsharpened) part of the blade. The back of the blade cant angle toward the point, it has to go straight down or angle backward. Serrated cutting edges are legal.

I would stick with the regular ones.  Much better wound channel, better bleeding and you can sharpen near 100% of the blade instead of 25% of the blade.  Serrated generally means small sharp points followed by large dull spots fore and aft.  That's great for carrots and cheese.  Not so much for killing live critters.

Regular blade Steel Force is a pretty dang good head.

Last fall I took my first deer with them. She didn't go 20 yards. Much bigger hole than the muzzys
made.

Slick trick magnums - 2 elk full pass through and big holes.
Old enough to know better.
Young enough to go for it.
