[The Truth]

Definitely a cut on contact like a steel force or stinger

Muzzy 3 blade 75 grain
Great choice

With all due respect this is not a good choice in my opinion for a low poundage bow IF you beleive that having an entrance AND an exit hole in an animal is best.
2 blade low profile heads on an arrow that is flying straight when it gets there will give you the best penitration hands down.

And respectfully I must disagree. 2-blade heads are prone to arrow pinch unless you use a very thin diameter shaft. Muzzys punch a hole that allows the arrow shaft to pass thru without resistance creating excellent penetration.

I used the 100g thunder heads by NAP archery trust me they do the job[up]

Muzzys punch a hole

Take a bathroom scale (Like the kind I step AROUND each morning like it was a rattlesnake coiled and ready to strike [eek])and 2 similar arrows 1 with your favored Muzzy and the other with a nice sharp 2 blade like the Zwickys I will be using this year.
Now take a peice of deer hide, blue jeans or other rather tough material place the arrow knock down on the scale and try to pull the material down toward the scale pushing the head thru it watch the reading on the scale, now tell me what that "Punch" cost you in pounds.

Shoot your two blade then a muzzy thru a peice of wet plywood and see which penetrates more. I guarantee the muzzy penetrates 3 times more than the two blade. What little more the muzzy takes in "punch" will surpass what the two blade costs in "pinch". Remember, we're looking at pass thru penetration, not just the broadhead thru shin or hide

A sharp two blade head especially with a 3 to 1 ratio will always out penetrate a three blade all day long, given everything else is the same.

I tried 3 to 1 ratio three blade heads from my longbow one season and was disappointed with the results on game shot. Never had a problem with two blade heads, that includes a couple of agate head kills.

Some good input , Thanks.

Can you explain what you mean by a 3 to 1 ratio?

 

[Jakesbeard]

3 x as long as wide.
It's based on a formula arrived at by the late great Howard Hill and the tests he did most recently backed up by Dr. Ed Asby. Sorry Dr. Asby didn't do much work with plywood but he DID use whole animals both live and dead in his tests.

a peice of wet plywood

Max got any good recipes for that?
I serve meat to my guests so often that truth be told I don't even know how to cook plywood and sadly neither does my bride!

[lol]Just wet, I'm sure you both know what that is.[rofl]Seriously it is interesting testing differant broadheads on it. Some hold up well, some fall apart or the blades break, and some results make you scratch your head wondering. My findings have always been that three blade heads with some type of tip[not blades to the end] out penetrate all others. All the two blade heads lacked the deeper penetration due to arrow pinch especially with aluminum shafts. Just my findings

I've killed a ton of deer with a 40 pound recurve. Zwickey 2 blade

"Arrow Pinch" is not an issue with "living flesh". I agree thru plywood wet or dry it can be an issue, but as Jake stated we aren't hunting plywood...

I shoot 38 pounds and have tried muzzys with the bleeder blades removed, and slick tricks. I loved the slicktricks! Give those a try
