I shoot iron will solid broadheads. I wanted a fixed blade to not have to worry about potential for mechanical failure. I chose iron will because of their materials. They fly very similar to field points (and they look cool lol) I’ve been an avid bowhunter for 44 years, and have tried quite a few heads. Slick Trick, Exodous, and Magnus Stingers are some of the best for me. But four years ago, I tried Iron Will. They are expensive, but are scalpel sharp, easy to re sharpen, super durable, and fly very well. They’ve blown through elk, Brown Bear, Aoudad, deer and other animals for me. I’ll be using them again this fall.

I shot the solid blades and the shot very similar to field points. The more I shot them the more I noticed the wind really affected their point of impact. The wind is usually blowing where I hunt, so I switched to a SEVR mechanical. So far they are crazy accurate and the one antelope I shot this year the results were impressive.

The SEVR is an updated Elmer. Sent this one through an Antelope at 35 yards, broke the neck, went through the heart and lodged in the sternum. The Antelope was head down on the bank getting a drink. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/286VNxKX/4284-E5-AA-FC5-E-4-E77-BBE2-565-C5862-E2-BE.jpg)

Used mainly slick tricks, grim reapers, and one G5 striker in the last 10-15 years. I can say that I after using the slick trick razortrick broad heads (discontinued) for probably 15-20 animals in that time I haven’t had a single one go more than 75 yards. The last 6 haven’t gone more than 30-50 yards each.

QAD Exodus. Really like how well it flies. Very durable and has been deadly My son and I both shoot the QAD Exodus and love the things. They are easy to tune for, fly like a bullet, penetrate and kill extremely well. We have about three dozen kills and have no complaints with the Exodus. Old bow Bud of mine that keeps a hard eye on all things archery told me about them more than 4 years ago, pointed me to a utube video of QAD owner shooting through a lot of heavy game in Africa, plenty good enough for me, it's a damn tough, straight flying, deep penetrating head. One other thing I have noticed about the Exodus is that they are quiet in flight. Some broadheads make a lot of noise going downrange. Not the Exodus. I have stood behind my house where I am completely protected yet can hear a broadhead as my son shot past the house to a target down range. The way my yard lays out he can be shooting at 30, 40, 50 yards to a target and I can stand protected behind the corner of the house 20 yards from the target. In that way I can listen for the arrow coming from 10-30 yards away. It's shocking how loud some broadheads are. Great information, thx.

Ten or twelve years ago I was new to archery hunting and looked at this board to figure out what broad head to use on my Easton 78xx arrow out of my new compound bow. At that time there were a few guys here who said Slick Trick. My friends here looked at me like I was crazy.
Most of them now are shooting slick trick and not many deer get away.
I go back and forth between the Magnus Stinger with the bleeder and the viper trick on my long bow.
Expect it should work.

I used to only shoot shotguns and rimfires, then I made the mistake of getting a subscription to handloader.......

I’ve used 125 gr. Rocky Mountains for over 40 years. I’ve never had a problem with them. I must have a hundred of them. What do you use? I've used the 140 gr. Rocky Mountain 4 blade for years and never had issues as that's what I have been tuned into with my old Bow. Same thing, I must have hundreds. My son uses Iron Will Broad heads, and is very happy with them, as their a little pricey but man they fly good at any distance, and he shoots a lot at long distances. I'll probably switch up soon as I'm in the process of switching bows and equipment. HS58

Still using the old 125 gr 3 blade Muzzys
I’ve lost count on how many hogs I have killed with them here at the Ranch.
Once had 3 sows lined up at my ground blind by the feeder. Closest one was 10 yards away. All were probably 80 to 100 lbs. Aimed for the lungs on the closest pig.
The arrow zipped right through the first 2 pigs, and stuck in the 3rd pig, with the broadhead sticking out about 4” on the far side of the furthest pig.
The first 2 ran about 50 yards and died. The 3rd one flopped over on its side and broke off the back half of my Carbon arrow. She kicked a few times and died.
The Muzzy Broadhead was still usable with some minor sharpening. You should call Muzzy and monetize that testimonial.

Killed a Black Bear. Shot him in the front left shoulder right on the bone and the arrow exited the cavity but not the hide.
The broadhead centerpunched the bone completely shattering it leaving it flopping like a broken chicken wing
Montec G5

Montec G5 Yep. The Montec is BAD ASS on most shot angles. But it sucks azz on hard angling shots..........which I found out the hard way. Great head if you can discipline yourself to lay off the hard angling shots.
You wanna be me so bad you can't stand it.

Simmons Swampsharks and Zwickey Deltas and Cliffs. Used to be a SuperRazorhead user and used Grizzly glue ons when I was shooting wood for a couple years. The Simmons cut holes like a machete and I don’t even use the big ones. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/2SZd4Jwh/89292725-51-F7-4-A0-F-999-A-5-E0-F33918042.jpg)
