Madness, everyone who uses mechanicals will have stories like this at some point. Hope for their sake its not on a 140"+ buck like mine was! I gave mechanicals a shot 10 years ago and they burnt me! Whats the saying, fool me once shame on you.......

Muzzys have NEVER let me down! but what if they ever do, then what? ;D just sayin Most likely the person will get on here and say, "I made a crappy shot, because muzzys are great"  . For everyone else it's all the mechanicals fault and everyone makes perfect shots. Even through the shoulders with a bow.  |

Muzzys have NEVER let me down! but what if they ever do, then what? ;D just sayin Well , lets see. Been bow hunting for 21 years now. Been using Muzzy's for about 16 of those years and never had a problem. Used mechanicals for 1 SHOT and they let me down. Playing the law of averages! And, honestly, I doubt Muzzy's will ever let me down. I have seen them do some amazing things to deers bones!! Just saying |

Shoulders are no match for them. Have seen it first hand! |

Nope, nobody ever makes a perfect shot... but, when i  up the muzzy makes up for my mess up..... with mechaicals if they are not perfectly broad side, your done.... with a muzzy, i know i can send it right thru the shoulder and still get enough penetration for an easy kill and blood trail.... |

Now I understand. I've been aiming wrong all these years. I always aim for the 90% of the lung area that is behind the shoulder. Still not sure why some are happy with a shoulder shot with a bow?
No broadhead is going to kill a deer that is recoverable in a reasonable amount of time unless you hit something with a lot of blood going through it, the spine or the lungs/trachea. Anything outside of that is a "crappy shot" to me and the muzzy, rage, nap or any other head is not going to help you. I guess a 2" cut through meat would be better than 1" on a deer that you probably won't find.

I guess a 2" cut through meat would be better than 1" on a deer that you probably won't find. WOW, so you are telling me a heart shot is a "crappy shot" to you? Well, I am now convinced that 1: you are a liar if you say you have never made a poor shot on a deer(which by your post you are leading me to believe) and 2: have no clue what different broadheads bring to the table. No one squeezes the release hoping for a shoulder hit! But, it happens. And when it does, I want a head that will blow through it like a hot knife through butter. That is the Muzzy! If you are aiming for a 90% lung area, you are going to miss big. I always try to tuck it in right behind the shoulder for a quick human kill shot. Unfortunately I am off an inch or so sometimes and hit the shoulder. Happy with it, not really. But the result is ,95% of the time, the deer falling flat on its face with a busted shoulder. And, FYI, there is quite a bit of blood right behind that shoulder!!!! |

Thanks for the lessons. The heart isn't a crappy shot. It's has blood through it, right?
I'm done. Good luck this fall.

You have got to be kidding me, you want to bust chops on a shoulder hit.... and you call a spine shot, a good one.... Oh and so you know a muzzy will make it thru a shoulder and into the lungs but if you need an anatomy leason... go back to school!!! Oh and I have never lost a deer....NEVER!!!! but evidently you have or you wouldn't have switched heads... you should change your name to TENRING, you know beings you make a perfect shot, everytime.... Tell them lies to your neighbor.... I call bull |

No broadhead is going to kill a deer that is recoverable in a reasonable amount of time unless you hit something with a lot of blood going through it, the spine or the lungs/trachea. This is a lie? Can you give deer a flesh wound and recover them consistently with a bow? The difference between a spine shot and a shoulder shot is that you are not going to have to look for one of the deer. Do you think, with a bow, that accidentally hitting the shoulder is a higher percentage shot than accidentally hitting the spine? Don't know why it's surprising, but if I hit a deer that I am not going to be able to find, then I consider it a crappy shot. Don't know where you get me saying anything about my shooting ability? I have never lost a deer with my current head, but I also never lost a deer with my last bow and I still bought a new one. |

But, you seem to just want to agrue everytime someone does not agree with your thoughts or equipment... dont take things so personal... People in glass house really shouldn't throw stones!  |

Wow, how long have you guys been bowhunting to have NEVER lost a deer? If true, that is pretty impressive!!
