Very doubtful my bow will be tuned properly, so I'll stick with the mechanicals.

holychit dude with that attitude, you should just keep your @ss in the house and give somone else a shot at the deer you are going to wound!!!! not trying to be a d!ck or sound like a father but damn!

this is an open ended subject ended for expandable, rages are the way to go but word of advise all the pictures taking of the cuts made are made when the deer is recovered "stretched" out when the deer is running a two blade cut will close up preventing the blood from reaching the ground shot a doe last year with one double lung she ran 80 yards with a sprinkle blood trail. saying this i have heard and had the three blades open up prematurely and that's just no good at all. seen expandable blades break time and time again and so many deer lost its really sickening. i use to shoot expandable but the very simple work that goes into making a fixed blade fly right is far less the loss of an animal. in my opinion a muzzy 3 blade is tried and true and very hard to beat

Rage 2 blade - awesome blood trail

 

[tj_escott]

Grim Reaper...I've never had any failures with them and been shooting them for a long time now. Never lost a deer with one and I have almost always had a pass through. More than I can say for the one time I used a rage, I had a nice 8 standing quartering away at 15 yards and didn't even get a exit wound. If you haven't shot Grim Reaper before buy yourself a pack and you'll be a believer!!!

:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh: Well at least you're honest! The #1 reason why most people use expandables is because they're either too lazy to tune or they don't know how.I got sucked into trying a few different ones just to see what all of the fuss was about and that caused a hell of a bunch of deer to to get crippled up only so they could run off somewhere and die a slow and miserable death.If you want to buy a ricocheting piece of chit that wont penetrate then stick with your expandables.Hottrodderscott is right on the money.MX4's and Tricks are both bad ass heads that shoot awesome and knock a hell of a hole that just don't clot up like three blade holes do.Them suckers paint the ground the whole way.When you shoot a deer with one and it runs out of blood then that usually means that it doesn't have any blood left in it and wont be laying dead too far from there lol.

I use to shoot a rage but I am switching to the g5 t3 after what I have seen what they so to an elk at 50 yards it was crazy. How much damage it done and the blades didn't bend. I have had ea bad problem with the rages bending and haveinf to replace the blades

Small price to pay after shooting a deer. I never use the same arrow again either. Throw them out after a hard hit. Have shot arrows a second time after a hard hit and arrow broke on next shot. Gotta pay if you want to play.

:laugh:That aint the way I look at it.Good broadheads are not disposable.After you shoot a deer you stick them back in the quiver until you're ready to kill another one unless the blades need changed.Tricks are tough and it's nearly impossible to bend a ferrule of one on a deer.Every arrow in my quiver right now has been through at least one deer apiece and a couple of them have probably killed four or five.:tu:

You're right tho, expandables are disposable.The blades on them suck ass and you can mark yourself down as lucky if you kill a deer with one without bending or breaking at least one blade.I've shot some animals with expandables that the blades fell off and didn't even go in.Yeah them are some good son of a guns let me tell ya' lol.

Yes! Yes! Yes! nice pic

I love shooting slug holes with a bow.... The trick is the way to go...Im with ya shot several then just touched up the blade.

 

[Beaver]

Rage 2 blade. Shot plenty of deer with them and always had pass throughs. As far as bending blades I shot thunderheads and muzzys and have bent and chipped them just as well. To each his own.

 

[American Eagle]

Rage two blade for expandables and muzzy four blade for fixed.

 

[jwallen]

I have shot them all it seems like and my favorite expandable is the G5 T3 but in the last few years I have exclusively used SLICK TRICKS!!! Love em and they fly like darts! They also work great on hogs which the expandables don't so well...

Lol, I have never had a perfectly tuned bow, I have never even paper tuned a bow, and I have also never had a deer get away from me (knock on wood). I am a decent shooter and will not take a shot I am not comfortable with. I do know that a properly tuned will shoot better.

Excuse me for laughing my ass off but a decent shooter in my book will not step foot into the woods with a bow that isn't perfectly tuned.I know I wont.My ass will stay parked at the house or camp working on bows until they are perfect.I keep two bows dialed dead nuts at all times just in case something happens to one so I wont have to stay home.Rocket Ultimate Steel's are the only fixed blade that I have ever shot that I believe are as easy to tune as Slick Tricks.If you can't tune a fixed blade then you don't have any business shooting a bow to start with let alone be shooting at animals.That's what they make guns for.Just my .02

well keep in mind when you get some broadheads that a properly tuned bow is the main key to expandables working properly! any kind of wobble on that arrow and you loose alot of kinetic energy. you need that KE to drive those blades through. the T3 are the way to go though! blades are faster to change and sharper, no orings to worry about and you can adjust the opening pressure enough that you can even shoot out of a ground blind with a shoot through screen.

 

[Throughthegills]

Lol you got to tune a bow to make any point group good.Hell field points are just as hard to tune as broadheads are if you want to shoot a good tight group with them.

 

[jtschid0910]

How do you tune fixed blade broadheads? My favorite broadhead, fixed blade of course don't want to mess with mechanicals, is the Magnus Stinger 2 Blade. My little brother shoots with a 35lb bow and at 15 yards, he got a complete pass through with them.

 

[Throughthegills]

I know it sounds like I'm on a rant and I sort of am but don't take it personal. I see the same things happen every year and even see a lot of people doing the same dumb chit every year even tho they know it's wrong and it kind of burns my ass.I know lots of people that shoot for about an hour total with field points at the start of season.Usually several groups at 20 and a hand full at 30 and they're done "TUNING" for the season.Then they screw on their new razor sharp broadheads and hit the woods.Their silly asses cant be dulling up their hunting heads by shooting them into foam because they got to be razor sharp ya' know.Truth be known I can shoot my broadheads 50 times into a sand pile and still kill the chit out of a deer just fine but they don't know that lol. FACT: Expandables don't always hit the same point of impact as field points so they need to be tuned just like fixed blades. FACT: You can screw on a Slick Trick and the odds of them grouping with your field points without doing anything to your bow are about as good as doing the same thing with an expandable. Fact: Hitting the woods without knowing exactly where your broadheads are hitting from 0 yards to however far you are willing to shoot at a deer is ratarded. Fact: Doing the same things over and over again but expecting different results is the only thing that constitutes insanity.
