Honestly any broadhead on the market is going to work as long as you shoot the proper grain broadhead for your arrow size and the weight your drawing.
For that price just go to walmart and pickup some cheap fixed blades.
What are you hunting??? |

In MN, the minimum cutting diameter is 1 and 1/8 inches. Be sure to check your state's regs and make sure you comply. As for the price, i'm a firm believer that you get what you pay for. I use Muzzy fixed blades, have taken a deer and a hog with them with no issues. Some guys i know like a head called Slick Trick, so use Montec's (sp?).
You know you only "clipped" 1 lung and the liver? How good was the shot placement? Did you get a pass-through? Before you pass judgement on your equipment, you better be sure you had good shot placement (quartering away). No broadhead can compensate for poor shot placement. |

excellent advice......I purchased some Muzzy 4 100 gr at Wal-Mart while I was in Kansas and they did the trick on the coyotes and armadillos we were killing for the rancher after tagging out on our deer! I used G5 Strikers on my Deer this year and they worked well! |
