Magnus stingers or stinger buzzcuts. Tough as hell, you can put an unreal edge on them and best of all, LIFETIME WARRANTY!!!!
Magnus stingers are what I have been using for the last few years. The lifetime warranty in true. I recently sent back 9 dull,used, or bent heads and promptly recieved 9 new ones. No questions asked.

Lots of good broadheads out there. I thought the old Thunderheads were harder to tune up right but I bet they've killed as many, or more, deer and elk than just about any broadhead out there.

But I would rather ask what is your setup?
Post by: millertime89 on March 30, 2011, 10:57:23 AM
I'm a fan of the Shuttle-T's. . .
:yeah: I've been pretty impressed with the Shuttle-T's .. on a couple pass-thru shots they ended up in rocks and nasty stuff without hardly a scratch on them :) Not to mention they shoot almost exactly like my field points for getting sighted in :)

This is my shuttle t-lock after burying into an elks offside rib at 35 yds, didnt do anything to the ferrule and just barely rolled over the sharp parts of the blade! I shot the head just like you see it at 40yds and it still grouped with my other ones. They fly VERY well and if you broadhead tune they meet up with field points very quickly. I recommend them if you like accuracy. I have also heard a lot of good things about slick tricks but have not shot them so I cant comment.
I feel the Shuttle is a good option for almost any setup. I have shot animals in most size category with them from turkeys to Elk @ 70 pounds 29.5" draw.
On the other side, my wife Shannon has shot everything from rock chucks to Zebra with them and has never had a track job over 100 yards. She only shoots 46 pounds with a 25" draw.

I shoot Montec G-5s and they fly great with very little tuning.
+1

+2 I still haven't found a broadhead as accurate out to 50yds. Can't beat a solid 1 piece broadhead for reliability :twocents:

The Shuttle T's have been accurate as far as I can shoot them, or at least as far as I can shoot my field tips without noticing a difference in accuracy.
They're pretty much solid as well.
I don't think you can go wrong with any of these suggestions, the G5 Montecs, the Shuttle T-Locks, and the Slick Tricks. They all seem to be on the top tier. :dunno:

Thanks for the input. I am dead nuts at 40 yds with my field tips on a playing card and 3-5 inches left with my broadheads- tried G5 Montecs and Slick Trick Magnums-both 100 grain. Wondering if I should try a 125 grain broadhead to bring the arrow to my field tip- I've tried moving my rest into the bow and my dispersion worsens. I have still yet to try the Shuttle T's. Here's my setup:
Athens Accomplice 34, 70lbs, 29 inch dl, CX Mayhem Hunter 350s.
:bash:
Going to a 125 will weaken the effective spine of you arrow. From reading your setup I would think you wouldn't want to do that.
I am not familar with the Athens line but it sounds like you have some type of tuning issue. Maybe cam lean or timing? have you shot it through paper or bare shaft tuned it?

Bullet hole thru paper-never bare shaft tuned it.
You may want to play around with bare shaft tuning a little..
Something is going on there if all broadheads shoot left of your field points

Gotta scroll down a little to find the youtube video, but i was shooting left and low of my field points. After i did a broadhead tune, everything was primo. I personally nvr did a paper tune

Why would you do that? I'd guess that the 'lifetime warranty' is intended to cover manufacturer defects. Not dulling from use and bent from abuse.

LIFETIME REPLACEMENT GUARANTEE
Our Magnus Lifetime Replacement Guarantee is very simple. If at any time you break, bend or have a concern with any Magnus Broadhead, send it to us and we replace it.
As a example: When you shoot thru a animal and the broadhead hits a rock on the ground and is damaged, send it in and we replace it. ITS THAT SIMPLE!!

Agree paper tune will get you close, bare shaft tuning a lot closer. Just switched to Slick Tricks from my muzzies. Slick Tricks are the way to go.

i don't want to steal this thread but everything is a learning experience. Anyone have any thought on how this light of a broadhead will work for elk and bear?
Post by: WonkyWapiti on May 07, 2011, 01:11:14 PM
I started with the Triton Wac'Ems and had good results with them. The only reason I switched was there was briefly some hoopla over whether they were Washington legal (this has been debated to death and WDFW finally sent out a letter stating they were legal). I then tried several brands including the Shuttle T Locks which flew well but I ended up going with the NAP Hell Razors which I used to take my first archery elk.
I ended up switching to the Montec G5's because although the Hell Razors were great, I had problems sharpenning them. I really like the Montec G5's. I think we are really lucky to have such a great selection of outstanding broadheads out there. It just comes down to your personal preferences and what works best with your set up.
