Just looking to see what everyone is using for broadheads. I'm going to purchase some and get them dialed in. Do you use and arrow spinner? Thanks Jason

Slick Trick Standard 125.

Wack'em 3 blade 125gr. They fly just like my field points.
-
I'm running the G5 Montec cs 100gr broad head. Decided to give them a shot. They have practice broad heads as well that are identical but not sharpened.

Slick trick

Shuttle T. I have killed many bulls with that broadhead. Blows through small diameter brush. Shoots like a field point. Now the company was purchased by another company so I am not sure the quality will be there. I guess I will see if it is my go to soon enough.

I think I've tried them all... Slick Trick FTW! :twocents:

I second this. Accidentally hit a metal fence post with one... Shaft broke but the head seemed prestine still. RadSav's products are amazing

Do you sharpen yours before use? I shot a few elk with them and never once had a decent blood trail? Even clean pass through's tight to the shoulder. They seem dull out of the package to me, and hard to get a good edge on due to the design. I switched to the Montecs, and prefer them.

Interesting. I have never had a problem. The longest a bull ever went was about 50 yards.

Moving to a Magnus this year. Used Shuttle Ts in the past with good results but am looking to increase penetration this year, so, moving to a two blade w/bleeders. So far so good, the Magnus Stingers are flying like darts.

:tup: switched to ti cons a couple years back and wont look at switching anytime soon. Although I did have real good luck with g5 strykers and muzzy before that.

I use the RAD Ultra-Con since I use old school fat, heavy arrows (aluminum 2317s). These are great heads. Others are good: these are great.

Haven't made the switch to RAD yet, still running slick trick.
(I could never guess Rads questions correctly :chuckle: )

Ive killed elk with G5 Strikers, Muzzys and Slicktricks. Slicktricks are my #1.

I've used Thunderheads for 30 years, first 125s and then 100s. That said, I'm considering a change.

My wife and daughter both shoot them. Started them both out with Wasp and they have been killing deer with them so no reason to change. I think when they start to run low on heads I will switch them to Thunderheads so we are all shooting the same thing.
-
125gr G5s. I have like two dozen of them. Once I run out, I'll switch to Radical. I tried to convince Radsav that I'm a pro shooter and needed freebies but he didn't fall for it. So, he'll have to wait a while for my important 3-broadhead purchase. :chuckle:

I've shot the Wasp Bullet, and was in the kill zone every shot out to 60 yards. A few years ago I changed to the Wasp Boss and it cut through my bull easily. I wish the Bullet had a 125 grain option. Nice broad heads.
-
Shuttle ts have been mine but I'm switching to rads van dyke 125 this year .
-
Van Dyke for this guy :IBCOOL:
-
Thunderheads are all I've ever shot, killed many deer and elk with em.....Always think about trying something new but figure if it aint broke...... :twocents:
-
RAD Rival 125. I like short blood trails ;)
-
I've been rolling with G5's, but MLB talked me into trying some RAD heads last year and I like what I'm seeing! Plus, it's kind of nice to support a local company and forum member.
-
:yeah: That is the only reason I would try something different....To support RAD/forum member.
Whats interesting for me when this topic comes up is all the various claims to bone crushing, penetration, short blood trails, etc. Let's be honest, If a person makes consistently good shots, every broadhead on the market will make for a quick kill, heck it used to be done with a sharpened piece of rock.
Yes some will/may shoot better out of your set up.....Use what you are confident with.

100% that's actually why I love that the DRT heads can be bought in singles so that you can just try them out. Shout out to them, they make a fantastic head and I love that the owners send the heads with a hand written note.

RAD Rival 125. I like short blood trails ;)
How were the blood trails? Did you use the LPS or HPV? I ordered some LPS to check them out.

I use the LPS blade. Both bulls shot with them either died or laid down within sight. The blood trails were impressive even in the short amount of time.

Thank you for the follow up.

I stopped and picked some up a few weeks ago.

125 grain Magnus Snuffer SS for me. Killed a elk last year with a Magnus Black Hornet but will be going back to the Snuffer this year.

Okay I got the RAD rival 125s in and got to shoot them. They have excellent flight but boy do the seem a bit on the small side. Any pictures of blood trails, entrance or exit holes out there?

This is the only picture I took last year. The other two died within sight.

Thanks. I know size wise they aren't much different than the shuttle t (I have had good success with) and given how well they shoot the elk should expire quickly when you hit them in the right spot. At 20 and 30 they are right with my field points. That is about all the distance I can shoot at home.

There are a lot solid Broadheads on the market, with that said I have had great luck with the RAD Tri-Con 125 for the last two years. This year I purchased a pack of the Rival 125 and so far they are flying great out to 60 for me. ( I haven't shot past 60 with them yet )

I saw these broadheads via Adam Greentree instagram account. They are calling to me. I will probably try these next since the price point makes it easier to lose one as compared to the German Kinetics. Plus they look easier to sharpen and I still get the mass I want.

Just a bunch of deer getting shot.

Same size as the standard Slick Trick. So the 1" isn't a new thing. And a 12 gauge shotgun bore is 25% smaller so it's definitely not that small. First animal we tested it on was a cow the wife shot with a prototype. I was shocked by the amount of blood. And I wasn't shy about the diameter going in. Her last animal was same blades in the Triple Sec. on a blacktail shot a little forward. Had our choice of following blood or bones! Though we did watch the deer go down so not necessary.
Here is a picture I just got from Hawaii. Justin Llanes killed a goat with a quartering forward 30 yards shot/10 yard recovery using the 1" VanDyke. We've been getting quite a few similar pics from customers since bringing it out.
-
Thanks. They do fly well and since I had great results with shuttle t in similar size I am getting more confident with them. They will most likely get the nod!

Guess I'm old school. I shoot 100 grain muzzy three blades. I know there's much better stuff out there but they always seem to work perfect for me. I've heard people talk about no blood trail but I get a trail looking like this almost every time.
