Non Political Broadhead Thread (With a Bonus Poll!)

[Joe Hulburt]

Currently shooting Magnus Black Hornet 125's. They shoot well out of my bow (now that I changed rests) and I love the cut on contact point. Killed a buck with them this fall and broadhead looks good enough to reuse.

I tried Grim Reaper expandable for a couple seasons on elk. First year was one perfect shot and a short and plentiful blood trail. The second season the first shot into my bull didn't open up. Lucking he allowed me a couple follow up shots. I was pretty sick when I saw the hole from the first shot and pulled the arrow out. Blades must of got a little stiff riding around in the quiver. Never again on expandables.

Where is the option for those of us that don't believe in bowhunting?

You can just complain about us getting the favored season or additional tags, etc, etc.

Still shooting Muzzy 3 blade 125's. I shot a buck broadside 23 yds with a mechanical and the last thing I saw of that deer was an arrow sticking straight forward out his shoulder running away. No blood trail, no grid search results. Just shame. In another season, 4 bucks ran by couple hundred yards out and the last one was the biggest and not keeping up with the rest. Approx. two months later, I shot that buck with a rifle. Found the mechanical head lower in his body between the ribs and skin. It had sunk down 10" or so from his shoulder where it had hit originally. Lost that front shoulder. He had probably lost 20 lbs and I do not know if he would have made through the winter. A friend shot a buck quartering away from him and when the arrow hit high in the ribs, the arrow made a 90 degree turn and came out the other side, luckily cutting the femoral under the spine. No blood trail. We found him because the coyote's eyes standing above him shown in the flashlight while we were searching. It is true that you must tirelessly tune your bow to make your arrows fly true but isn't that what you are supposed to do?

Mechanical shooters are communists and I will never change my mind. I’m trying the QAD exodus this year.

I’ve always heard that 10% of hunters take all the game. Check the poll results

Has anyone used this? I have no reason to change but sometimes I just want to try stuff.

I don't like the looks of those. Don't seem like they would glide through very easily with those "cups" between the cutting edges.

I’ve been using Strickland Helix Single Bevel 150 grain. Killed a big bull dead. Switched to a recurve last year and they shoot great out of that.

Looks pointy enough. Curious if that YouTube broadhead tester guy has flung a few of these? Lusk is his name.
