Ive had Muzzys fly both good and bad.  One season same impact point as field tips, next season 5 inches right, and low.  I believe its more of a tuning issue of the bow and having it set up correctly.  I paper tune, and then walk back tune.  Then shoot field tips.  Once that is set I will fling some broadheads and see how far off I am.  Normally when I switch to broadheads that is all I will shoot until hunting season is over.

Sonics!!!!!

They are awesome broadheads. I shot my deer from 40 yards and the arrow went through both shoulder blades.

They fly the exact same as my field tips.

Hey all, trying to find some new broadheads for the upcoming deer/elk season.  Just wanting to get some suggestions from like minded hunters.  The focus will be elk, but mule deer are in the area too.  I've owned and have been shooting my bow (Bowtech 2009 Sniper) since last December but have yet to try out broadheads.  I'm asking because it's been YEARS since the last time I bowhunted.  So if anyone's got some experience with a particular head that they liked or disliked, I'd like to hear from you.  Thanks

I just got a bowtech sniper a few months back and am also looking for some broadheads, I think I might go witht the slick trick :dunno:

I got to disagree with Norse.  He is right in that Thunderheads are good solid heads that will kill game.  I used them for 10+ years but gave them up 5 or 6 years ago when I tried Slick Tricks.  Thunderheads are good but they are finicky and you have to tune your head.  With Slick Tricks you literally just screw them on and go hunting.  No tuning or adjusting where they hit.  Oh and by the way, they kill great and leave big holes.  Best head out there.   :twocents:

Well, just bought some Thunderhead's 100gr.  The more diggin' I've done, they seem like a reliable 'head.  I figure as long as I do my job, they should do theres.  The Sniper's been a great bow though, really like it.  When I got it, I was actually going to the shop to shoot and possibly buy another one (Bowtech Diamond I think...someone correct me if I'm wrong).  Shot both, the Sniper was much more quiet, only 50 bones more too.

This thread could go on for years...lots of GREAT heads out there...choose a reputable manufacturer (as have been noted here) and practice with them.  Broadheads don't have to hit where your field points hit.  Sure, it's nice but not required.  Good arrow flight is, however.  Don't but a new pack of heads and hunt right out of the box.  SHOOT them...a lot before the season.  Every bow and hunter combo is different.  You have to shoot what works well for you!

I have been shooting 4 blade muzzy's for about 5 years and killed a deer ever year with them. Not a bad broadhead. But this year i'm switching to slick trick standard or magnum! Just cant decide which one is the best? :dunno: Are you shoting the standard or magnum xxx?

...and let's not forget shot placement.  Nothing will replace the importance of shot placement of a sharp broadhead - any broadhead - for quick, humane kills.
