Muzzys

I switched to MX-3 100 grain last year from regular 100 grain.  I had no problems with regular, just switched for something new.   To be honest, I think the MX-3 fly a bit better.  But that's not to say the regulars did not.   Keep in mind this was during a transition from a bow 8 years old to a new one.  So, perhaps me thinking the MX-3 flies better is because of the bow.
 
I usually had to make minimal adjustments from field tips to regular 100's.   I haven't had to do any adjustments with the MX-3.  Again, could have been the bow.  MX-3 are 1/4 wider cut, not that it matters much.
 
Either one, I like.
 
I could never get the 4 blade to fly right at distances farther than 25 yards.
 
 

thanks for the input guys!...
silver, my brother "tried" to shoot the 4-blades too and he said they were all over the place...i do think the same thing about the mx-3's though...but strangly enough, i switched at the same time i got a new bow too...so, it could be either..
drake, being in college and having just returned from a week of salmon fishing, 18.99 is easier to come by than 42.99...but those spitfire pro's are darn near perfect...had my first gut shot ever last year and the spitfire did enough damaged to make her bed down about 70 yards from the stand. next morning she had expired...muzzys are what i started out with and i did well with them so i know theyre good, and at the moment i just dont have 40.00...i live in WV and season comes in saturday so me getting spitfires is, well, a little on the down side...
 
i was also thinking about picking up some "guilatine's" for the fall turkey season down here..anybody try them out yet?..they look hilarious on tv(watching the birds head fly off and all)

I had a similar experience to thedrake with the muzzy's.  I used to shoot them with my old bow; they shot well and I took a few deer with them.  When I got my new bow 3 years ago I switched to rockets, I had a problem with them last year and decided to return to muzzy's this year.
 
I didn't have too much trouble grouping them at less than 25 but beyond that, they didn't wanna fly right for me.  And when they were grouping at closer ranges, they were grouping consistently right and low of my field points.  I took my bow to the shop and aside from making sure my bow was tuned properly it did virtually nothing to improve their flight.  After seeing them fly from my bow I lost all confidence in them and decided it was time for a new head.
 
Your experience may be totally different than mine and I hope they work better for you than they did for me.  I have sinced switched to 2 blade rages and I don't think I will ever look back.
 
 

I had the same problem too. With the arrows at longer ranges. I have a the same bow since 2000/2001 and never this problem before and don't know why. The bow still shoots real close to the same speed as when new.So went to C&M and had my arrows fletched with Helical vanes and WOW man they really fly stright and true at all ranges. I use thunderheads but muzzys three blade are pretty much the same as in the way they fly.

Best broad head out here today is the G5 been using it for a while now, I used to shoot spitfire and changed to wasps and then now the G5... And thats just an opinion but ask most guys that use them and they will trll you the same.

Man sugarfuzz If your only getting 2 inches of penetration with any broad head you are shooting at the place on the deer.  I don't care if you can hit a nock at whatever yards you shoot. Aiming at the head or shoulders with a bow is just plain UNETHICAL.  A bow is not a GUN !!!!!!!!!!  As a archer you need to have patients on the RIGHT shot that will make i quick kill. I have had made a bad shot and paid the price on wounding a deer and not retrieving it .   I will not shoot unless it is a prefect shot and no archer should. I hope you learn what a bad shot,angle,distance is for the deer sake

ne1 ever have trouple with getting penetration with thunderheads 2 years ago i hit a doe at 20 arrow only went in about 2 inches so i thought i must of just hit it in the shoulder and a week later hit i buck at about 10 yards and the same thing happened but the buck just stood there and i could tell it wasnt in the shoulder then i spitched to grimmreapers  and shot a doe in the head and the arrow went all the way to the veins then last year shot a doe at 10 yards got pass through and a 8pt at 25 didn't get passthrough but at the angle hit it behind the shoulder and burried all the way up by the neck 

 
I find a lot of things WRONG with this post. I've been shooting Thuderheads for many years and haven't had the problems with penetration like you state. Especially the areas you described. Sounds like you need to possibly shoot a heavier bow weight and practice a lot more before going into the woods and wounding animals. Ethical shots.....

Nice try Peacy

What poundage are you shooting?

its at 65 now

ya i havn't since i switched broadheads but even lower poundage should work i know a girl that killed a mule deer at 42 pounds and an elder guys that hunts here only using 45 and never had any problems
