I don't know anyone who's used them, but our local archery proprietor said he used to carry them and they just didn't sell.


Praise be to the Lord, my rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.

I helped track a deer that was shot with one of those heads. Based on the wound channel (or lack there of), I wouldn't use them.

I've tried a lot of different broadheads over the years and had settled on Muzzy broadheads. They always killed the animal when placed properly. But, I wasn't happy with the aluminum ferrule of the Muzzy. I thought they bent too easily on contact with a thick bone or with the ground on a pass through.

I solved that problem by going with Slick Trick Magnum 100 broadheads. It's similar in appearance to a Muzzy, but with all steel construction, it's a much more durable head.

I have killed a whitetail, a corsican ram, a Jacob's sheep, a wild boar, a bison and an Asian Water Buffalo with the same broadhead. All I've done is touch up the blades and gone hunting again.

You can't ask for more or better performance from a broadhead than that.
