How good have they been and how long were they? Thanks in advance! Please include the good, bad, and the ugly.

Dont use them myself, but my buddy has real good luck with them. I have been on a few blood trails with him and they have all been good. I would shoot them but I can not get them to fly very well.

I had great luck with the Muzzy 3 blade. Not sure exactly what you expect to get from trail length. It just depends on the hit. I've had'm actually come back to me after the shot and die by the base of my tree and I've had'm run 100-150yds.

I've been shooting 3-bladed Muzzies(125g) for years...They make a nice sized hole.Most of my blood trails are 75 yds or less...

I shot two deer last year with the 3 blade - 125 Gr. Muzzy. Less than 75 yard recoveries on both.
As Matt mentioned shot location will dicate on how far they travel.

Yep... First deer I shot with a bow went well over 3/4 of a mile, with Muzzy 3 blade 125 grain heads..... But I don't blame the head at all- it did it's job, I just didn't do mine- I hit the doe about as low as you possibly can and not miss. Below the sternum! Blood poured out for the first 75-100 yards and made a great trail. She laid down and it's hard to say if she would have died there, but I started tracking after 1/2 hour. I think that's when I jumped her out of her bed and then she headed across the neighbors lawn (talk about a hard to follow trail- spotty blood in a freshly mowed lawn!!!). Had she not jumped a fence and broke it open again I may never have found her. Even after she jumped the fence she still went close to 1/2 mile as near as I can figure until she simply bled out.
Double lung 'em with a field point (I don't condone it, just making a point) and I doubt they will go more than 150-200 yards. But there won't be much of a blood trail....

Three blade hundred grain Muzzy's for me. Fly like a field tip, always a pass through, always a good blood trail, never a failure. Most deer I've taken travel less than 50 yds. after shot. ;D |

Here look at this.... she was shot with a muzzy 3blade 100 grain.... if it is a good hit the blood trail will be there. Notice the blood trail leading up to her.... it was like that the entire 30 yards she ran.  |
