Board heads

[AJHURD]

What do you prefer when you’re hunting? A fixed broad head or a mechanical broad head?

I had bad experience with mechanicals on my very first elk hunt in 2002, which resulted in me losing a big 6x6 bull, I have not shot a mechanical since. I have always had great success with muzzy’s. I know there’s a lot of choices on the market today and want some input from other hunters.

Montec 125 gr fixed.  Mechanicals not legal in oregon

Mechanicals not legal in Idaho either and I have been a Slick Trick follower.  I know that others work great as well, but I don't see a need to mess with something that is working fine for me.

Fixed all the way. Shuttle T or Montec nothing else.

 

[AJHURD]

I have not heard of Montec's, I will have to check them out

Used the G5 Strikers 100 grain this fall for the first time- SCARY sharp! Used the Montec's for years before that with great success, just not as sharp as the Strikers.......

Montec's are a great broadhead!  I have used them for the past 5 years or so and wouldn't use anything else.  I use the 85 gr heads and they are deadly! 

They are made by G5 Outdoors.

I have been using the 85 grain montecs since 09, killed 4 elk with them. I love those heads. Thought about going to a 100 grain though.

I am with wothers, love the Montecs and shoot a 100 grain G5...I have taken bulls with Muzzys', Thunderheads and Satelites as well.

+1 on the Slicktrick--Bill

 

[stablebuck]

slick tricks or shuttle-Ts have always been my favorite fixed blades.  I used NAP spitfire maxx broadheads this year for deer and was very impressed!  I would highly recommend the spitfires for anything smaller than mature bull...

 

[elkgrunt]

Magnus four blade

Been shooting 85 gr Thunderhead but am looking at Trophy Ridge Exodus also 85 gr. I like that the Exodus has 40 thousands blade thickness.

Shot my elk with an Exodus 100 gr. full blades @52 yds and it went thru it like butter out of a 62 lb. bow.  Scary sharp heads.

i am a recent shuttle T fan. I switched from a montecs. they are not quite as strong but fly just as good or better and are much sharper IMO.

with what is out there right now, i would not shoot a mechanical. i know people have had success with them but they are not for me. with a proper tune and practice, there is no reason you can not get a fixed head to fly as good. its not about what works when everything goes right, its about what works when things go wrong.

 

[Jimbow65]

Muzzy 100gr 4-blade

 

[john503]

Slick Trick or Shuttle T

 

[Bullhunter]

well i wanted to use some expandables but they are illegal in Idaho so i don't use them so with that being said i use Slick Trick standard 100gr.

 

[Mountain Bowhunter]

Well had I known this thread was already started I would not have started one.  sorry to jack your responses.  I've had many people suggest the montecs so I am considering those.  I am also looking at the VPA broadhead.  Look very well built and made out of tool steel. supposed to hold an edge very well

 

[turbo1967]

used muzzy fixed for years and had great luck with them and at a low price,New bow last year and switched to carbon arrows and mech broadheads only because I stretched my max shot from 65 yards to 90 yards,mech fly better at the extra distance.other than that  a razor blade is still a razor blade.both work great for me.
