I have 2 muzzy's 1 Montech, 3 Wasp II. and 5 Rocky mountain Razors. What should I use. Does size matter?

Use whatever flies truest for your bow, but no matter what you use make sure you shoot the same type of broadhead hunting that you do when you are practicing.

I personally like the Crimson Talon XP's...they are spendy but for me and my bow they shoot true and leave MASSIVE trauma in their wake...the exit wound through the White Tail I hit this year was about the size of a Golf Ball. 100grs nice Chisel pt and the blades are curved so they act like an auger as it passes through the critter...make a solid hit in the vitals and you'll be pulling meat out of the woods in no time. The deer I hit this year (double lunged him) ran for about 100 yds or 8 seconds before he "crashed"...by the time that I was able to collect myself, lower my bow and fanny pack, climb down out the tree (I have a climbing stand). Find the Impact site and then follow a blood trail that a blind man could follow, I found my deer in about 20 mins from Shot to Track to success.

I like those broadheads my next purchase is going to be luma nocks for all of my "hunting arrows", I never did recover my arrow...I payed to much attention which way "Bucky" took off for.

I would question if all those broadheads you listed are the same weight, while it won't matter much at close range on your first pin or two when you shoot longer distances it could matter depending also on the strength of your bow.

If your bow is older or is set to a low draw weight and the pins were all set using 100grain broad heads and you start using 125grain heads you may need to adjust your longer distance pins.

I have to agree with bowhunters. Are all the broadheads listed the same weight also what arrows are you shooting? I would also question how many different arrows you have like the list of broadheads. That may change things also as the arrow weights will differ. Pick a broadhead and arrow and stick with them.
