I've used the 125gr. three blade for a while now.Bows in the 50# range 500gr. carbon arrows.Kills as good as any and better than most.

Matter of preference. Any sharp broad head will work. I have found with the heavier heads I am getting better arrow flight/bow is quieter/ and way better penetration. I am shooting 44# 27 1/2" arrow 33/55 goldtip. I am shooting field tips 175 to 220 grains.

I shoot the 125gr. 3 blade Magnus Snuffers and many other guys here on Trad Gang shoot them as well. I don't really see any difference in shooting a 3 blade Snuffer or shooting a 3 blade Muzzy?
The only real big difference is that the Snuffers are meant to be resharpened, but it still takes a certain amount of KE to push them through an animal. I zipped one through the shoulder of a coyote and it sliced through like he wasn't even there, then buried in the dirt about 4" on the other side. I know that coyotes aren't as heavy boned as a deer, but I had more than plenty of KE to blast through the coyote and then some, so if that's any indication of what it will do on a deer, then I'm not worried at all about shooting a 3 blade broadhead.

That's a heck of a deal on the Muzzys, I would definitely go for it and like one of the other members already said, "I'd buy the whole shelf full for that price" +1 on that!
Even if you decide you don't like how they shoot, you could turn around and sell the rest and make a buck or two.
Muzzy broadheads have killed a ton of game and are one of the best quality broadheads on the market today and it's a good ole made in the USA product......that's a rarity these days.

Here's a final thought.......Fred Eichler shoots them and kills everything from whitetail to goats to bears with them and he even married the daughter of the founder, who is incidently now the owner. Fred said on one of his shows that he got tired of paying for broadheads so he married the owner so he could get Muzzy broadheads for free.

Yessir they work just fine and the tips are very easy to sharpen as well, just like sharpening a 3bl broadhead just lay the tip down with 2 sides touching and draw back to you, you can get the tip extremely sharp and still have that proven bone breaking trocar tip on the end of your broadhead.  I love those Phantoms as well and they do a great job, I just hate sharpening broadheads and love how easy it is to change out the blades on the regular Muzzy heads and get back to shooting.  Really comes in handy on doe hunts or when chasing hogs thru the swamps and getting repeated opportunities on animals.  Plus they are very durable and I continue to resue the same heads, just change out blades and keep on hunting, I have some arrows/heads with over 9 animals taken with the same setup, just changed out or touched up the blades.
They'll be no quitters till we bag us some critters!

I love them.  I shoot the 100 with a 100 brass insert.  I also shoot the phantom 125 with the bleeder blades out so it is a 100.  For that price I would buy a pile even if I just used them for small game heads.  They fly like field points.

The 3 blade 125 grain Muzzy is my favorite Muzzy. I`ve killed a good many critters with them .Hogs and deer.I killed my 2nd biggest pig with one and the head was in the offside shoulder.I`ve taken the blades out and sharpened them on a stone many times. I don`t think I`ve ever bought replacement blades.I would feel good shooting them from 50 lbs and up.RC

The 220's aren't any bigger, just heavier.
I went back to the 125's, they seem to shoot flatter for me. I know it's just in my head but ya gotta use what you have confidence in and I have great confidence in the 125 Phantoms. Shot completely thru my moose this year and stuck in the ground with a 55# bow.

I have wondered about the other muzzy heads as well. The Tocar tip looks deadly on it's own.
 John Sr was a very accomplished bowhunter and like others have said, he used 'em all the time.

This is what a 220 Phantom will do. He went 60 yards.  (Heart Shot)

The Stainless is very hard. they are a little hard to sharpen but hold a edge. the head I killed the buck above with was still sharp even after it went through the deer and  was stuck in the ground.
