Your Top FIXED blade BH

[Sizthediz]

QAD exodus. They don't too far with only 3 wheels. But give some iron wills a shot

 

[Outdoorjoe318]

Been very happy with QADs, iron wills, and Kayuga Pilot cuts. Heads I’ve had bad experiences with include grizzly stick, Kayuga tri zot, and TOTA. Mixed results with slick trick, but mixed results = no go in my book.

 

[High Climber]

Slick trick viper trick got the nod this year. I really wanted to use the Exodus but they just didn’t fly well for whatever reason

 

[Dirtbag]

Slick trick mags and muzzy trocars are sweet, slick trick mags have left massive blood trails for me especially.

 

[HuntHarder]

Wac ems were by far my favorite. Flew like missiles out to 80 yards and flat out worked. Used to be a small company with good quality. After they were bought out, their quality went to shit

Abowyer broadheads are top shelf
Also like the Ashbys from alaska bowhunting supply
Nothing has lived long from chest shots out of tradbows for me

I'm very susceptible to recency bias and this was last month. Magnus Stinger Buzzcut .This guy took a step away right at the shot and I immediately thought I was in for a long night BUT he only took 1 step and went into a death spin. The arrow actually penetrated a few more inches than shown in photo then backed out during the spin. This is my second Buzzcut buck this year. My only complaint is the head is frequently one and done. I returned both heads to Magnus to try their lifetime warranty but I haven't heard anything yet.

I also have good results with Viper Tricks and two blade Killer Bees.

Update: Magnus replaced all three heads (2 dead deer, one dead elk). No questions, no cost, free shipping.

 

[Okie101]

Still like the Red Feather Phoenix single bevel 3 blade.

 

[DWinVA]

My favorite is VPA 200 grain 3-blade out of my recurve.

God Bless.

Kudu is by far the most accurate fixed blade that I have ever shot. I mean these things are field point accurate, and ive taken them to my block target out to 100 yards. theyre sharper than hell and tough as hell too.
Kudus get my vote 100% of the time.

Anything Magnus, I shoot the 125's. Great customer service and you can't beat the lifetime warranty!

I recently got back into bowhunting last year.

This year, I arrowed a nice eight at eleven yards at a hard downward angle, slight quarter towards me. Slick Trick standard 100 grain. Complete pass through (and I'm only shooting 52# out of my Mathews Image).

Very little to no blood trail. He stopped and laid down about fifty yards distant for about ten minutes then got back up and walked off. Only blood was where he had been laying (and not much there) and a few drops afterwards. Searched for hours that night and again in the morning. Honestly thought I muscle hit him.

Found him two days later after smelling him from the house. Double lunged him. He ended up running about 100 yards as the crow flies. I was sick. There just wasn't enough blood to track. I'm not saying it was 100% the Slick Trick head, but I would have expected more blood.

To me, it doesn't seem as if these replaceable blade heads are as sharp as they used to be. Maybe it's a liability issue, I don't know. But when I was hitting it hard in the late 90's, early 2000's, I was almost afraid to swap blades in my Muzzy heads--they were like scalpels. I cut myself more than once.

Case in point, I just ordered a set of heads off of this company called "Exact Archery". I liked the blade design (sturdy, replaceable blades, cut on impact) so I thought I'd give them a shot. I can run my fingers up and down the blades without cutting myself. Rough machining marks on the blades. Pathetic. Tossed them in the trash.

I don't trust mechanicals because of the low poundage, and even they're not impressively sharp. Seen a set of Sevr heads my buddy bought--same thing. Not sharp at all.

Not sure what to try for next year.

 

[Halligan]

I will say that I've had good luck with the following:
- Muzzy Trocar
-VPA 3 blade
- Magnus Black Hornet
The last two have been immensely durable and easy to resharpen

Going to try slick trick ss3 this year after years and years of nap crossfire's (they haven't been made for a few years now and I've exhausted my inventory). Does anybody have feedback on this head? Shooting whitetail, 40 yard max, 29dl, 65 lb. Thank you!

Another happy IW customer here

If you like the way Slick Tricks fly just get a Stay Sharp guide to really sharpen the blades before hunting. Pretty simple and quick technique.
