Toxic Broadheads

[highmuley]

Are Toxic Broadheads legal for hunting? The cut diameter oily s .875 (7/8) so I would assume there legit but im not sure.  The geometry is not like a typical broadhead. Please advise.  Thanks

Do a search number of treads on them already.

[highmuley]

Damn you Drock!  Will do.  Thanks

I will tell you I wouldn't ever shoot them.

Ya. Reviews from other forums have mixed opinions. I have a few other broadheads I am looking into as well. I was just curios. I'm trying to transition from modern to archery while maintaining my priorities. I've never been concerned about how fast a bullet/arrow travels. I'm more into "terminal" performance. That's why I shoot Barnes bullets....I have yet to have an animal leave its tracks. I want a broadhead with great "terminal" performance (entry/exit channel, bone penetration, vital penetration, blood trail, etc.). If you have any input on this (yes, I know there are other threads on this subject  ) your input would be appreciated. Thanks

I have only used muzzy 3 blade 100gr.

Have seen some nice critters taken locally with them, so they must work

[highmuley]

I was thinking about the Carbon Express, F-15, Dual blade as well. Has anyone used these?

Like I said...mixed reviews. In theory these should work great. I think the verdict is still out on there actual performance though. There are other broadheads on the market with a similar design too.

Just get yourself a solid head with SHARP blades.  Wac'em, slick trick, shuttle T all proven to be soilid dependable heads.  Why bother with a head with very mixed reviews.

Montecs, Shuttle T, Muzzy....all proven. Find ones you like, shoot 'em and tune 'em, get to hunting.

Don't pay attention to h20hunter and his montec talk.

 The Shuttle T has more terminal damage than any broadhead I have shot. they will never fold ,loose a blade or fail. They fly like a field point. .40 thousands thick blade. They produce a very large entrance hole.

Make that two. Id never touch them. Unless your a sharpshooter and can guarantee a recovery.  Which no one can... If you get a poor shot on an animal and it takes off to never be found. With the size of the wound channel those broadheads leave the animal would surely die a slow painful death and not be recovered. With other broadheads on a poor placed shot, theres still a chance that animal may live and make a full recovery.

Montecs are mold injected from my understanding and are subject to weak spots and inproper weight balance. Plus the way the tips are designed they suck in air durring high speeds through the channels in between the blades and create whistling. Im no expert by any means though.

Love when comments are made by what we read, rather then ACTUAL experience..hahaha!

I have not experienced any whistling or break down in blades. Also, I've only shot a couple critters with them so my experience is limited compared to some. I'll be shooting them again this upcoming season for bear and deer.

Injection molding is incorrect, I believe. That process is typically for plastics and composites. Cast, forged, etc...maybe. Those process' can cause mechanical failures. Shooting them into flesh and bone is the ONLY true gauge of performance. Like I stated earlier, I am looking for broadheads with the best terminal performance. Please keep us posted on these suggested broadheads performance. I am very much interested. Thank you again.

Muley...

My best experiece with my Montecs was the last muley doe I shot. It was a point blank....maybe 15 or 20 feet....straight on shot. I hit her right in the brisket, center punched the heart at a slight angle, went through her left lung, and was hanging out of her by the fletching just past the last rib. She went eight hops with puddles of blood at each landing point. I was shooting a 30ish inch draw Darton at 65lbs. Sorry but I don't remember my arrow lenght or weight. 100gr head. The broadhead could be cleaned up and used again. It looks perfect.
