Muzzy 4-blade

[TxAg]

I received my Muzzy 4-blades in the mail today....the ones with the trocar tip. I have to say I'm impressed with them. I hadn't shot a muzzy since first starting to bowhunt many years ago.

For six broadheads, they are quite affordable. Very sharp, and replacement blades are easy to come by. Stroked the trocar tips on my file and got those fairly sharp as well.

Once i had a head ready to go, I did a little testing.....nothing scientific, just tinkering really. I shot into some cement board that I'd also shot other broadheads into. It blew right through it. The blades were still sharp.

They stayed sharp for another time and then dulled as expected. I shot the cement board over and over again, then proceeded to shoot an antler shed (i did this a while back and broke a head). The muzzy took some chunks out of the antler but didnt break...after three good hits, i did notice two blade edges slightly dinged.

Anyway, all in all I'm impressed. Thought I'd pass along my findings. I should've taken some pics.

If anyone is curious, i was shooting a 52@29 whip. Arrow totaled 540 gr.....mfx 500, 1.5" aluminum footing, 75 gr insert, 125 gr muzzy.

There is a reason they have been around for a long time........

Great broadhead! The dude who designed this head shot traditional equipment, so its no wonder and what a great value.

Funny this comes up now. I have been thinking about switching to MX3's, which is what I shot out of a compound a few years ago. I was wondering what the trade world thought about the trocar tip?

I just like 3blade broadheads, and really like replacement blades.

Medley: As stated the heads were designed by John Musshachia, Sr. who hunted only with Bear recurves for a while. When I knew him briefly shortly before he passed he had a slew of older recurves at his place in NY. He's one who left us too soon.

Muzzy has always been a tough head. However, I have never used one with a trad setup; but I think that they would work just fine.

I came across a pile of Muzzy's in various wts and blade configurations. I have been using them on groundhogs for the past couple years. Most shots end up in the dirt and rocks. They are extremely tough and fly perfectly from all my bows.

I've shot the 145 grain standard 4 blades for years out of my traditional bows with GREAT success.  I got away from them because of the ease of resharpening other heads like Snuffers and Magnus or the old Green Bears.   Last year I had the itch to try them again and must say a steller performance with the Turkey I shot!!

[TxAg]

Although they look a bit untraditional (even though designed by a trad archer) I think they'll work great. I will say this, though. The MX serious appear to have a more abrupt angle change than the standard heads. It may not make much difference, but I prefer the mechancial advantage of the standard head.

Mike Fedora shoots 3 blade Muzzys from his bows when hunting.  I think he's been doing this trad thing for a couple of years now.  

[Glunt]

I shot a bunch of critters with 3 & 4 blade regular Muzzys.  They always worked great.

[Blaino]

are the 125g 4 blade blades the same size as the 145g blades.  i know the ferrel is bigger on the 145g heads....  i'm asking because just about every store around be sells the 125g blades. it would be nice if they worked with the 145g too.

[Ryan Sanpei]

Yup, been using these and the phantoms for years.  I've just been adding weighted inserts when shooting the standard four blades.


Blaino, if I'm not mistaken. The blades are the same.

They have a new 150 grain 3 blade called the Crosskill. It also comes in a 125. This 150 is popular with the xbow people.It looks like their MX-3.

[Blaino]

thanks Ryan!

Bucky the Crosskill 125 is the same as the MX-125 just with different packaging and the 150 the 125 but with out the cuts in the ferrule.  I am going to be shooting the new Fred Eichler and the Crosskill 150 this year!
