After shooting a Rage 2 blade mechanical, I want to try a fixed blade head. I haven't shot a fixed blade in a lot of years. I will only be shooting deer unless a hog happens to wonder by. I will be hunting a archery only area and need to take full advantage of any shot opportunity that may present itself. Thanks for your help and any advice that you may have.

Grim Reaper Hades is a great fixed blade. But if you what to take advantage of every opportunity shot a Grim Reaper expandable and watch em drop.

I picked up some Montec G5's yesterday and they hit exactly where my FP's were hitting. Can't wait to hunt with them this year.

SLICK TRICK has my vote

I shot the Montec G5's the last two seasons, and I don't like them.
They are accurate as they come, but with two near perfect shot placements, I still had little to no blood trail to follow.
I am going to try the new Rage Hypodermic's this season.

I'm in the same boat, ended up going with Slick Tricks... Nothing but good reviews on them.

Hartcraft or SlickTrick

i shoot slick trick magnums when i am using fixed blades. mostly i shoot rages. i plan on getting some DRT broadheads to start testing them before we go to africa next year.

When I shoot fixed blades I use G5 Montec's. The Carbon steel version. They are great broadheads.

Muzzy

We all have our favorites it's all about shot placement. Heck you can kill a deer with a field point if you put it in the right place. There's no compensating for a bad shot. Most broad heads on the market today will do the job, all you have to do is put it where it belongs.

Feild points, check!

If only I trusted my aim to try that one tho.

I never understood the statements of slick trick is better than montec because I shot a deer with montec and couldn't find it. This is not aimed at anyone in particular but could someone explain how a montec with one inch cut is any different than a slick trick with one inch cut if they are both sharp? A one inch hole is a one inch hole period.

yep muzzy 4 blade for me, BAD TO THE BONE.

I mainly use Montec's. I have used Slick Tricks and I like them a lot too. The reason that I went with the Montec over the ST's is because I dont have to put them together. I also use Grim Reapers and Rage. I have a wide variety of BHs and I agree with the above statement that they all work as long as the shot placement is correct.

Slick tricks have 4 blades Montecs have 3 - Montec is cut on contact....2 differences. I shot both the rage and ST the last 4 years... Both will certainly get the job done and fly great. I did have concerns with my penetration with the ST but never lost an animal. I had a couple of mishaps with the rages that made me loose my confidence in them. I now have Montecs and VPAs in my quiver.

After much consideration and deliberation I picked up a couple of packs of the G5 Montec CS broadheads last night. Taking into account about half like the heads, they were on sale for $34.98(instead of $39.99)and they have a practice head to match. Hoping for a good outcome in the field this year. I probably won't get to many chances and I want to make them count. Thanks for the advice and I'll let you know how it turns out.

Slick trick. Sharpest, truest flying, non-plaining broad head I have ever used. I've shot muzzy, rage, and a few cheaper brands when getting started. Slick trick is the absolute best. Notice their lack of over the top gimmicks, advertising, and packaging. Those things are simply not needed to sell a broad head that really works well. You will not be disappointed with them. Just be careful installing the blades because they are crazy sharp.

I have tried others, but always go back to Magnus buzzcuts and have a great history of success with them.

Muzzy 3 blade
