I've got my bow all tuned up but every year after shooting hundreds of field points it takes me a little work to get my bow to group broad heads well. They really amplify your form & bow flaws. I have to really slow down, work on form & follow through is so critical. It takes a little effort but once broad heads are dialed in I feel ready for the season. Mike

Wasp is a name that for some reason isn't well known, but they are super in my opinion. I like to shoot the bullets. They fly great, but only have a 1" cutting diameter. I'm told they will put elk down with no problem.

100 grain slick tricks shoot feild point accurate with no tuning.  They're 10 dollars a price but worth the consistent flight patter you get.

I was shooting Muzzy's for years, then got turned into a die hard Slick Trick guy.  They fly great with very little tuning (for me of course...every shooter and bow is different).  With a 1 1/8" cutting diameter from the Slick Trick Magnums, they are devastating.  I really like the bigger wound channel the 4 bladed BH's make, and the blade thickness is greater than the Muzzy's were.  Just my two cents.

 :yeah: me too. Muzzy was what I shot for years.  Then I spent the extra on slicktricks this year I'm going mag or griz what ever one I like and decide on.  I like that the slick tricks are solid steel shafts so there durable.

I have never shot 125 grain broadheads and I dont believe I have ever needed the extra weight. I dont think besides a little more kenetic energy and maybee a bigger cutting diameter there is not much difference betwee 100 and 125. There is only 2 broadheads I will shoot. my first choice is the Shuttle T and my second is the Slick Tricks.  :twocents:

im curious no one has mentioned blazer vanes. i was shooting 4 inch vanes and wasnt grouping with my bh's as well as i would have liked so i switched to blazers and the difference was astronomical! i wont ever shoot 4 inch vanes again and i shot them for 16 years. with practice tips i didnt notice a difference but when i switched to bh's the improvement was hugely noticeable!
they call me the bloodhound cause i can track a wounded animal in the rain for 2 days when all it has is a splinter.. sniff sniff awooo

Muzzy is the Only other I have shot.  It would have shattered in your bull so compared to that a broken blade is ok.  Did your bull die?

Slick trick upgraded the steel in their blades about a year ago.  I like the 4 cutting edges.   Big hole. 
Old enough to know better.
Young enough to go for it.

Diy,
He died but it took too long. Recovered him the next morning luckily the meat hadn't spoiled.

Blazers definately help alot.  I've been tinkering with NAP Quickspins, and am finding them tightening my groups even more.  I haven't tuned them for 60+ yards shots with broadheads yet, so we'll see.

I love my ST's too and have used them for about 5 years now. Killed a ton of elk and deer with them and they are deadly. I practice out to 100 yards with my broadheads and can drill tacks. 

I will say that Shuttle T's actually fly a little better but due to the energy my bow creates I like to take advantage of the extra blade cutting. I still get passthroughs on elk the majority of the time and 100% of the time on deer. (My setup makes around 80 ft. lbs. of KE with a 455 grain arrow)

If you are making less than 65 lbs. of KE, try out a Shuttle T. The ST's will work just fine with lower KE setups too, but you asked for the most accurate broadhead out there. (ie. closest to a field tip)
