[QUOTE="bigbrother, post: 509193, member: 1813"] SpencerSS, I agree and somewhat disagree but to your point, yes all good broadheads today are good. Better than they were years ago, whether they be fixed blade or mechanical. I wouldn't necessarily call them marginal however. As in all things manufactured, perfection is not obtainable 100% of the time so no matter the brand, the weight, the design you as a consumer may find a bad batch, or bad head in a batch. It's not different than all of the long range shooters on this site sorting brass, measuring bullets, etc.... The key to a successful broadhead is having one that is straight, squared to your arrow, and is sharp. Today's bows all generate sufficient energy at reasonable hunting weights to drive a hunting weight arrow/head combination through game when shot properly no matter the type of broadhead. (notice a lot of caveats in that statement) The only way to determine whether the head is a good one, is you have to put in on the arrow and shoot it. This again is no different than fine tuning hand loads, or switching bullets to match a barrel. You may have one head in a pack that doesn't shoot with the other ones, so you don't use it. The only way to figure that out is to shoot them all. Replace the blades or sharpen the blades or switch out the practice blades when that arrow and head combination hits where it's supposed to. I shoot Muzzy heads, I like them, have shot others both fixed and mechanicals and come back to the tried and true because they work for me. I find about 1 head out of dozen I buy that is not straight and you can't square it to the arrow...the rate was higher for the others I shot hence why I keep coming back to Muzzy. But again, they key isn't the brand or type but the knowledge of each head I have on my arrows flies to the same point out to 70 yards. Good Shooting to all! [/QUOTE]
