Ive got video of testing arrows shooting them into concrete.. im not afradi to blow stuff up.. lol
the shuttle T's are extemely tuff but I love them because I dont believe there is a better shooting fixed blade.
They also are VERY quiet in flight, I have found vented blades make a little more noise :twocents:

what's the difference between the WASP Boss and the Muzzy? They look the same to me. The Muzzy has been a workhorse for me so I keep screwing them into the tips of my arrows.I would say the blades ...and wasp will shoot better :twocents: I bought my boy some muzzies last year He shot a muley and when I found the arrow with passed threw there was two blades missing ...killed the deer thow..and thunderheads do the same ...JUNK :tup: :tup: and I posted the prove so thats all I can do .... :tup:

I didnt think shuttle Ts were leagel in this state because the back of the blade doesnt angle toward the vanes of the arrow. :dunno:

We found him dead. As we dressed and quartered him for packing, we discovered that the arrow had hit square on the hip joint, shattering the head of the femur, and punching through the left hip socket and penetrating into the abdomen. The broadhead was in the abdominal wall just ahead of the penis sheath. It has punched through 3-4" of hard, solid bones, after we washed it up it looked like it was brand new out of the package.

And the blood trail from using the shuttle T locks... A blind person could track it... This is good for me as my eyes are getting more mature. The shuttle T's are also very will machined as they do not move once they are seated on the arrow. Some that I have used in the past did move which made for interesting tuning exercises. As others have said that there is very little difference from shooting a practice tip verses a shuttle T. I still tune mine but it so miner that I am not sure why I do it other than being a person who cannot stop messing with my bow.

I go old school with Thunderheads. However, the most impressive broadhead performance I've ever seen was a 3-blade muzzy in WY in 1993. My buddy took a 40 yard shot at a 4x5 bull standing broadside behind a big lodgepole pine. Shot looked awesome, until the arrow hit a small branch at the front end of the trees canopy at the top of its arc, and deflected back behind the trunk. Bull was obviously hit, and had trouble using his left rear leg. He holed up in a patch of timber, we gave him 6 hours and went in, my buddy uphill and me downhill.
We found him dead. As we dressed and quartered him for packing, we discovered that the arrow had hit square on the hip joint, shattering the head of the femur, and punching through the left hip socket and penetrating into the abdomen. The broadhead was in the abdominal wall just ahead of the penis sheath. It has punched through 3-4" of hard, solid bones, after we washed it up it looked like it was brand new out of the package.
I've shot two BT's the past two years with the same muzzy 3 blade. Didnt realize it until after I shot the second dear. First dear was a complete pass through heart shot second dear I was in a real awkward position and pulled the shot a foot and a half and ended up blowing right through the left hip socked and out the other side. Found the arrow and broadhead was perfect. Dear went about 40 yards and piled up :tup:

I shoot the Masai 150gr broadhead. Flies like a DART. It is a single-bevel head that you match to your fletching (i.e., right-wing or left-wing). It also has a tanto tip that causes rotation on impact adn will shatter bone and keep on going. Full pass through every time for me!
Maasai Broadhead Specs:
•440C Stainless Steel blades - Sub Zero Quenched
•58 Rockwell Hardness
•Convex edge design
•25 degree Single bevel (right or left)
•Tanto tip
•CNC aircraft grade aluminum ferrule
•Smooth transition, low profile ferrule
•Stainless Steel screws
•Razor sharp and ready to hunt
•Available in 200, 175, 150, 125 and 100 grains
•Screw in design fits all threaded inserts
•3 per pack
Maasai Broadhead Dimensions:
Maasai 100 1 1/8" x 1 9/16"
Maasai 125 1 1/8" x 1 3/4"
Maasai 150 1 1/8" x 1 3/4"
Maasai 175 1 1/8" x 1 7/8"
Maasai 200 1 1/8" x 1 7/8"

I'll stick with my Sonic 125gr broadhead. Multiple years of full freezers is enough proof for me. If it flies good and kills for you, keep shooting it. There will always be someone or something that is the next best or toughest out there, I say shoot whatever puts meat on the ground for ya.
How have the sonics been for you on Blade retention?
I shot them for awhile several years back, I liked the way the flew but lost blades several times.
I would guess they have addressed that by now?

History leason - Originally before becoming a born again Christian Dick Maleski was a Dead Head pot smoker. WASP stood for "We All Smoke Pot". Later after finding Christ he changed the acronym to "We All Save People".
For those asking what the difference is between Wasp and Muzzy or Shuttle T - It's the blades! If you ever get down to Vancouver you should give me a call and pay a visit. I'll throw some blades in the microscope and you'll be amazed at the real difference. In a month or two I should have my new digital photoscope attachement. I'll then be able to quickly shoot photos to post on Hunt-Washington.
Now that Crescent is no longer making Rocky Mountains blades WASP has no equal in a stainless blade. They are as hard as it gets without being brittle and the grind and hone are flawless. They are the standard we will be measuring the new stainless Savora heads to.
In 2011 Slick Trick began making blades from AEB-L stainless instead of the cheap garbage they started with. You Slick Trick fans should start seeing some real changes for the better when you start throwing the new blades. But, that grinding process can not match what WASP is doing. Or what we will be doing with Savora for 2012.

another vote on Shuttle T.. u wont find a tougher head or thicker blades out there..not to mention there isn't head that flies as quiet and accurately as a Shuttle. The wound channel on these heads is amazing:chuckle: :chuckle: Yeah I suppose but I have never broke a wasp on nothen I have killed and they are very quit because they are so small and low profile and I do not think the shuttle T will blow threw bone like a wasp ....just my opinion since I have used them flawlessly for over 30 yrs now ...I have not heard nothen bad about shuttle T s So maybe some day before I kill over I them :chuckle: :chuckle: :tup:

Take two of your puny broadheads, forge them together, harden them, make the edges shave, and you may have a broadhead that is about 75% as tough as the Silver Flames. :stirthepot:
