Which head is best? -

Skippa · 06-10-2010, 08:39 PM

Hey guys, I'm really new to deer hunting and just wanted to get some advice for my first ever deer hunt. Im not really sure what broadhead to buy. Any of you seasoned hunters want to help me out? I'm using a #60 martin bengal at 27 inch draw. Thanks for the help boys

100grain slick trick mag would be a good choice.

WABOWMAN · 06-11-2010, 07:47 AM

I would suggest an 85gr head.It must be a fixed blade head being from WA.The slick trick or muzzy would do a great job.

You will get a ton of answers, the best one is the one you like.

I can tell you that I have killed deer with all the following and each one had some thing I liked and disliked.

Nap Hellrazors
Magnus Stingers and Buzzcuts
SilverFlames
Rage (wanted to see what the hype was about did not care for it)
Easton First Cut XT's (best bang for the buck IMO $22 for a pack of 3 and fly great)

BIGbuck52 · 06-11-2010, 01:18 PM

IMO the best head is always fixed head. a good blade locking design, or a solid blade. all in all there is no right awnser. The awnser will come with what one you picked this year. my suggestions......

muzzy 3 or 4 blade 100gr

I bought so far this year to try

grizzly trixs

magnus stinger ss 2 blade

MossyOakPro · 06-11-2010, 02:22 PM

I agree with the other guys about the fixed head. I shoot the 100 grain Magnus Buzzcut.

I may be more old school, but I do not know how you can pick a head without knowing what kind of arrow you are shooting, what the FOC (forward of center) balance point of the arrow/head combination is with different weight heads, and how much you want to spend. What weight head do you shoot for practice?

You can get new heads for $30.00 each or a pack of older heads being closed out for $3.00 each. Your choice.

I like your question because I have seen so many people ask this in both the broadhead and knife industry.

If you take the time to look at each and every broadhead that has been built in today's modern world, they all have something that makes them special but what helps me determine which broadhead to use is mostly the people behind them.

Example, should you go to a custom knife making show, you will see a large variety of blades that span from the usefull blades to the exotic out of this world designs. But what does you as a consumer stop and buy a knife, 60 to 80 percent of the time its the personnal interaction with the knifemaker. If you like who he is, and appreciate his work, well, that is probably the knife you will be buying.

This site, Broadhead Talk, provides us to get to know the people behind the broadheads. The posts they write enables you to feel and understand their admiration for the products they represent. This provides you with a sense of knowing everything will turn out right.

The best head is the one you believe will be the best after having received answers to your questions, which is why this site is so important to all of us that want the best possible product.

In a nutshell, that is my opinion and I stick by that. And to be honest, the representatives of the braodheads features on this site never cease to impress me with their dedication they have to their readers and to this great way of life. My hat is off to all of them.

Awesome! And 100% true, that is the way I pick every one of my products. If I like what the company is doing I will stand behind them and give them full support!

Like many have said, there are a great number of BHs on the market today that'll do the job just fine. Any one of them will do just fine for you provided you have done 2 things: 1) make sure your bow is tuned, including BH tuning it, and 2) you make an accurate shot. Without either one of these, things will fall apart fairly quickly.

With this said, some BHs I'd recommend are:

* Magnus Buzzcut 100gr - 4 bladed (great quality, customer service, and lifetime warranty)
* Wasp Boss SST or Hammer SST 100gr (highly underrated BH and extremely economical)
* Slick Tricks 100gr (while I don't use them, they have a strong following and alot of hunters swear by them - look at Gerhard's posts)

Just for your point of reference, I will be shooting either the 125gr 2 bladed Buzzcuts or the 100gr 4 bladed Buzzcuts this year, but have used the Wasp Boss SST's in previous years with great results.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. I was just at cabelas today looking at broadheads, I think I'm going to go with the magnus buzzcut. They look pretty badass, pretty much a knife on an arrow.

The look is NOT decieving! They are very nasty heads nd backed by a warrenty (and company) that cannot be beat, only matched
