    Default torn between two

    so with all the anticipation and excitement of the upcoming season, choices of broadheads have become an issue to me. the two i have narrowed it down to are the muzzy 3 blade 100s and the G5 striker 100s. now for a pack of 3 strikers its $37 but for 6 muzzys its $36. which would you recommend? considering both accuracy and flight and penetration with pass throughs

    I worked in a bow shop and shot most of them, including the two you mention, i went with the striker,,both are sharp, but the striker flew like my field points..

    I shoot Muzzys, but have heard nothing but great things about G5. I don't think either will be a bad choice.

    G5 Strikers are great and fly true. Best broadhead flight I've gotten out any fixed blade. It was my top seller last year at Gander Mountain. Kels shot hers last year with only 35 lbs and we got a pass thru. Really sharp German lutz blades make it deadly head.

    I have been using the 3 blade muzzy 100's the last few years and out of six deer shot with them only one pass thru. I am not satisfied with muzzy and am looking to switch myself.

    Muzzy shoots the same as target points for me.. I've tried to change a few times.. cost of testing is expensive..



    Enjoy the moment....

    I've hunted with Muzzy for coming up on 17 years and never had them let me down. The only time they have is when I didn't hit the animal right, pass through's have been great with awesome blood trails.

    It really doesn't matter what broadhead you use, if you don't hit the animal right none of them will perform they way they are meant too.

    I've used the Muzzy 75 for the last 5 years with great success as well. Nothing else will be in my quiver.

    I to have used muzzy for quite a few years and have had no problems and had plenty of pass throughs.I did switch from the 100 grain 3 blade to the 100 grain 4 blade and got a little better flight but the overall performance has been the same and I plan on sticking with them until they let me down or stop makeing them.Although the new muzzy phantoms do look sweet.

    I have heard good about the G5's but my muzzy's shoot good with my bow and I use the practice blades for sighting in and practice, I have only shot a couple deer with the muzzys but all were complete pass throughs and the deer went less than 60 yards
