Bad to the bone is Muzzy's theme, but at Big Al's Archery shop we found out that bad through the concrete was also very impressive. A 64-lb. Hoyt proved what a Muzzy could do.

The Trocar tips, the first company to use one by the way, aluminum ferrule and the stainless steel blades proved beyond a doubt that Muzzys hit hard. From the 75-grain to the 130-grain broadhead, Muzzys performed. The Hoyt bow draw length was set at 29 inches and propelled a 27-inch arrow at 290 fps — the bow was fast. All arrows that were shot were aluminum. 

The cinder block was set up at 20 yards away. The 75-grain screw-in head was the first to be fired. The Trocar tip stuck in the cinder block easily. The ferrule bent, but the tip and blades remained intact. The 90-grain was fired next. Again, the patented Trocar tip stuck deeply into the cinder block, this time though nothing was bent. The tip, ferrule and blades looked like they came out of the package. The only thing that showed any damage was the aluminum insert the broadhead was screwed into.

The 100-grain, 3-blade was up next. Again, the arrow was shot and the Muzzys again stuck in the cinder block, but the results were a little different. The tip, ferrule and blades were perfectly straight, but the impact pushed the entire head straight back into the shaft. The tip was protruding from the shaft with the blades cutting the aluminum shaft in three straight places extending down the shaft with the edges sticking out like wings from a plane. What a sight! Remember that the edges that cut the aluminum shaft are dull. 

Of course, this was a controlled test. I have used is Muzzys in the field and that's where the real rubber meets the road. Two Muzzy tipped arrows went through a boars lungs using a 60-lb. bow with energy wheels. No hard cams, no fast-flite string, no carbon arrows, just 60 lbs. of draw weight. The results were as impressive as the block test only I got a real trophy I could use. 

Design - 5 out of 5
The easiest way to install a Muzzy is to follow the directions. But I like to screw the ferrule into the arrow shaft, and then I can hold the arrow to install blades. You do not have to take the head off the shaft to change blades, just undo the tip, put in new blades and tighten tip. 

Ruggedness - 5 out of 5 
Not only does it go into cinder blocks and stay together but it also breaks them. This is one tough line of broadheads. 

Price - 5 out of 5
Competitive with other brands that give you three broadheads while Muzzy gives you six. 

Features - 5 out of 5
A tip that can be unscrewed so blades can be replaced without taking the shaft off the arrow Trocar tips, stainless blades and a company that stands behind their product. They also offer a diverse line of models and weights, for carbon or aluminum shafts plus practice blades.

Final comments
Strength, durability and a price you can afford. Regardless of the particular model you choose, you get a tough head for any size game that will do the job you need to bring your trophy home.
