muzzy

[Blaino]

has anyone every tied the muzzy "locking" 3 blade with traditional equiptment?  I currently shoot magnus 2 blade and like them pretty good but, wally world has the muzzy's I'm speeking of for $ 7.00....

If you have your Magnus' tuned, why would you want to change them up? Going from a fixed blade Magnus to a replaceable blade with trad gear is kinda like going from a full sized pick-up to a smart car and  then trying to haul a full sheet of plywood home...

I shoot the 145 grain 3 blade with the trocar tip. have never had an issue. Does wonders on bone.

I've used them and they performed well. John Mussacchia, the inventor, was a traditional bowhunter.

daz, I was wondering how they would performe because i can't get the equiptment i have  unless i order it online.

Broadheads are important and I'd not suggest changing just to save a buck.  That said the Muzzy is a very good head and will work just fine for deer sized game out of any properly tuned stick bow of adequate weight.  Like southpawshooter said, they were developed by a trad shooter.  If you like that style head, by all means buy them.

[Ray Hammond]

Your broadhead is the only thing you have that makes a kill possible

Buying based on price -up to a point - may make sense if we were talking 30 bucks a head vs 8

But remember you'll have to buy more blades to stick on those later. You'll also expend more momentum to push those tips through initially

Lots to consider especially if you are shooting a mid or lightweight bow arrow combo

Been using Muzzy 125gr or 115gr 4bl heads since '92 with trad equipment and have killed many, many animals with them and they work great, just sharpen up the trocar tip on a diamond stone and no problems.  Also use a heavy tip weighted carbon arrow and they do fine.  Have taken deer, elk, bear, lot's of hogs, etc with them and no problems.  Love being able to change out the blades as well and they work great.

sorry i havn't got the quotes figured out yet.... do you just place the tip on the stone like you would a regular 3:1 ratio bh?

With the KME sharpener you can resharpen the blades too.

Most people don't realize the Muzzy head was designed by John Mussachia, Sr. who was a trad bowhunter. He bowhunted the world with those heads and his recurves and killed a Cape Buffalo with them if I am not mistaken, shooting a Bear recurve.

Muzzy broadheads have always worked well for me.  They fly great, penetrate real well and leave a good blood trail too.  Besides, for $7 bucks I'd buy the whole shelf full.

Good Luck.

A friend of mine has had good luck with them and thinks they are fine broadhead. You still have to put it in the right place!!!

[deadpool]

my most favorite multiblade head, if your comfortable using them on big game, use them for small, for 7 bucks thats a sweet deal

[waknstak IL]

My brother killed 5 deer with them last year out of a trad bow.

[Ray Hammond]

Mark that's interesting- didn't know youcould 'edge' the tip

That phantom sure is a nice head also!

[Joe Subler]

Awhile back Mark gave out the "tip" about sharpening the tip.  Works great and it really gets a sharp point!!

Cheers,
Joe

muzzy phantoms best broad head made. I like the 220 grain. Have sold all the rest of my heads.

[thunder1]

I've used them for years with no problems.
