Summer 2000 Where do I begin? Maybe I
could start off by saying, "Muzzy broadheads are
'Bad-to-the-Bone.' "
When I first started bow hunting, I
switched out broadheads several times, even times during the
same hunting season. I knew my search for the perfect broadhead was over
the day I shot at my first deer with a Muzzy. It was a pass
through shot breaking both shoulders, the deer wilted right there
in its tracks.
What
makes the Muzzy so special, in my opinion, is the chisel tip. It
looks to me like Muzzys were engineered to make the tip take
most of the energy impact. Which means the blades don't take much
of a beating upon impact. A lot of broadheads are designed just the opposite the blades
take most of the energy. These types of broadheads will cause you to change out the blades
more often, when compared to a Muzzy.
I
shoot the 4-bladed, 90-grain screw-in version with great success arrow flight is super. There isn't much difference in
precision and accuracy,
for me, between a practice tip and a Muzzy.
If you like
practicing strictly with broadheads, Muzzy includes a practice broadhead, (dull blades), so that you don't have to dull a set of
hunting blades. Muzzy's design is simple and has a great blade
locking system. Assembly is simple, easy and quick.
I
once shot a wild hog, running at about 15 yards. The arrow did not
pass through because I hit the animal in the rear. The arrow
penetrated part of the pelvic bone and lodged in the back bone.
Doesn't sound like much of a kill shot, but it paralyzed the
animal enough to allow me to put another arrow through the animal
for the kill. I looked at the back bone while cleaning the animal
and the damage was unbelievable.
Muzzy's prices are competitive,
usually no higher than other quality broadheads, but the saying of "You get what you pay
for," holds true. Try a set of Muzzys, you won't go back
to any other.
NOTE: If shooting a bow
that is pretty fast (280+ fps), I suggest not to use the 4-bladed Muzzys, use a
3-blade version instead.
