I just bought a pack of broadheads. They are the cut on impact style 4 bladed. The bigger blades are serrated. They looked like they would really do some damage. I have never tried them. I don't have them in front of me and I have forgotten the name of them, but I thought I would ask if any of you have experience with this style broadheads. Are they good or should I go back to my Muzzy's?

You are much better off with "scalpal" style broadheads instead of serrated. Serrated blades are most efficient with a back and forth sawing motion, like a steak knife, whereas scalpal style do damage by being incredibly sharp. Serrated heads are almost impossible to sharpen at home. I've shot groundhogs with serrated heads and had arrows stick in them, while I shot the same size of groundhogs with scalpal style heads and had pass thrus everytime. Not a scietific test, but it convinced me.

I've been shooting the Steelforce Sabertooth heads for the past 5 or 6 years. They are serrated.
I've heard all the arguments pro and against serrated. Honestly, I guess I don't have a real opinion either way.
I keep mine razor sharp, it is not that hard to do. In the time I've been using them, I've shot many deer, a couple hogs, couple javelina, a bear, coyote, and other small game with them. In nearly every case, complete pass through (I can only remember one deer not going all the way through).
Not saying that serrated is good or bad, just that I've had good luck with mine. Since I have over a dozen of either new or nearly new heads, I see no need to go out and buy something different at this time.
Personally, if I were you, I'd make sure they were RAZOR sharp, shoot them to see how they fly, and then hunt with them. Then you can make your own decision on whether to keep them or not.
