I called steelforce and he made them to order I wanted 200 grains w/steel ferrel so he went w/titanium blade. I shot them today they seemed to fly true, very quit, shot one twice through 3/4 w/no damage.
200 grain steelforce
200 grain muzzy phantom
Both shot @ 20 yards w/ my savanah into dence plywood

The SF went in further, but also looks like they went in till the width of the cut was about the same.

They look nice. I shoot steel force years back. Once penetrated the far shoulder of an elk 1/2 way out the other side after breaking a rib on a 3/4 angled shoot. The bull only went 10 yards.

How is titanium for edge retention and resharpening?
It looks like that they both penetrated until they got to the ferrule. Plywood hates ferrules.

price =$49+3 per 3-pack
sharpness = just touched up edge this morning w/ that sharpening system that uses a grinder motor, and WOW sharpest broadhead Ive ever had. I sharpened the muzzys the same way, and they never got that sharp. that titanium just pops arm hair w/ very little preshure.
Still looking for good ideas for testing durability and penatration?

They look good but the ferrule looks rough!!! Looks like thats what hung up and stopped the penetration in the plywood.

Ive been shooting the 145 traditionals and they are the best flying heads Ive shot to date, just like a field point from my MFX 500s.I havent shot a deer with them yet but the narrow width has me a little nervous.Ill give them one chance and if they dont drop enough of a bloodtrail Ill go back to my old reliable 125 Snuffers.Now I just need a deer to help out and cooperate.Ive got a feeling tomorrow this will happen.

Darren, why not test one on a critter that's in season. I bet they work great.
Bill
p.s. Make sure the critter's in season!
