I always have used Muzzy 100 grain 3 blades. I use them on my compound bow I use them on my crossbow. They are simple and work well. My crossbow is 180 pound draw wait shoots a bolt at 350 feet per second too.
I shoot an excal matrix 330, i use 150 grain bolt cutters. Most accurate thing i have ever shot and ive never lost an animal using them. I use them for everything from turkeys to moose.
Was having issues sighting in tenpoint viper Solved problem with gold tip 425 ballistic bolt with 150 grain Excalibur bolt cutter broadhead Getting 1" groups at 30 yards
No need for suspicion with the Killzones. They are awesome and massive blood trails. They stand up to super velocity and are very accurate. So far there are five deer that have paid a price at my hands.
I'm not a fan of expendables broadheads. I've had bad luck with them not opening. I've been using the carbon express dual xt serrated for crossbow and its just deadly. Went through all the deers i shot. Perfect for me.
i used to used rage broadheads all of the time....my buddy gave me a couple grim reapers and i shot an 8 point about 15 yards from me and he literally went down in a couple jumps...they leave big hole
Killzones are some of the best broadheads I’ve ever used. I’ve taken 5 deer with them and blood trails were massive. Always get good accuracy with them. There are a lot of good heads out there and everybody has there favorites, but you generally won’t be sorry with Killzones.
RIGHT ON THE KILLZONE PACKAGING IT SAYS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR CROSSBOWS SO WHY ARE YOU RECOMMENDING THEM FOR CROSSBOWS THE BOX I HAVE IS 125 GRAIN TOO.???
Shot placement is more important than what brand of arrow head you use, any sharp head can be lethal if it hits vital organs .A crossbow is a short range weapon,because you can hit a stationary target at 50+ yards does not mean you can kill all big game at that yardage it is NOT A RIFLE!!!
Myron Laidler great points here. I’m glad someone said it. I’ll add one thing. Prepare for when things don’t go exactly as planned, because it’s going to happen eventually.
What's the difference between a compound mechanical broadhead, and a crossbow mechanical broadhead? Are the interchangeable? Can a crossbow shoot a compound mechanical broadhead, while a compound can not shoot a crossbow mechanical broadhead? Or vise versa?
What do you think about the Nap Blood runner 3 Blade. Do you think those would work good for a crossbow or the wasp jack hammer mechanical? Both would be 125 grain. Thanks for the input and keep the great video's coming
hi my name is Ricky.last year I used rage extreme 2.3 bread head with my SA sport's crossbow 245 ftps and used aluminum bolts had good luck with them got 4 deer and lost one.this year I got a new crossbow Parker bushwhacker 2015 stile 301 FTPS switched to red hot Parker carbon Express bolt. so am going to rage extreme crossbow 2 inch cut. do u still thank they will work the same.the only thang I didn't like is had bad penetration with them.but figured it was the crossbow not rage.
What happens if you hit the shoulder? What happens if they don’t open? What happens if they open in flight? For me, too many what if’s. I am sticking to fixed blade heads.
what if a get hit crossing the street today? what if my tire blows on the freeway and i roll my car? what if lightning hits me while i'm in my treestand? how do you even make it through a day worrying about hypotheticals?
@@Ryan-jx4vh they are what i called them, hypotheticals. don't take marginal, low % shots and pretty much any broadhead made will cleanly kill a deer. there's no need for a broadhead that can withstand being shot through a truck hood, quartering-away 1/2" plywood, and denser ballistic gel. practice often, take clean, ethical shots, and use sharp heads, and the deer will drop.
breathe and squeeze You brought up life and death scenarios and compared that to broadhead selection. The real world doesn’t work like you are indicating. It gets windy, animals move, etc and then marginal shots happen. I want a broadhead that will work best when conditions aren’t ideal, especially with an animal of a lifetime. You do you, though. 👍
I use the Rage 2" slim...killed two deer this year before Thanksgiving....I have a question.....crossbow experts......can I use 22" or 20" on my Raptor Barnett Crossbow?
The Barnett Raptor uses 20 inch bolts but I'm sure the 22's would work but you couldn't interchange them. The 22's are heavier and won't be as fast so I'm not sure why you would want to use them. By the way I am a Barnett Raptor fx owner.
About 2 years have passed. What are your current favorites/go to broadheads for hunting deer. I recently got a Horton storm rdx and considering grim reaper whitetail 2" 100 gr or ramcat 100 gr what are your opinion on those. Thanks
+Eugene Johnston Hi Eugene... you're right it's been awhile since we put out this video. I still really like the NAP Killzone for whitetails and deer sized animals. The Ramcats have shot really well in our tests as well. I haven't messed around with the Grim Reapers but have heard good things. - Chris
don't listen The bolt can be 20-22 inch right? So its shorter then arrow and heavy.So i will recommend 125g broadhead or higher 150g YOU WILL HAVE BETTER result then 100g Try and let me know
Do you have to use crossbow specific broadheads or can all broad heads off the shelf be used.new to crossbows and looking for a real answer. I just bought some rage hypodermics and a pack of g5 deadmeats. Does not say crossbow anywhere on the package but was told at the store both can be used on 20" 300 grain bolts.both brand heads are 100 grain.
James Peverill I used to use thunderhead 100’s for both. Now I use Magnus Black Hornet ser razors 125 grain for both. Both of them fly great out of both my crossbow and my compound.
Fixed broadheads seem to throw my accuracy off on my Barnett ghost 410.they work better on the Barnett recurve I bought my daughter...I'm guessing because of the lower speeds, fps...I believe the fixed broadheads act as vains and arrows fly funny. I just ordered some rage mechanical broadheads I will update when I get to take them out,I use a 3d deer target for practicing I start at 10 yards and work my way out to 45 yards while practicing.
Shawn P I would like to know what grain broadheads you used. The faster the arrow travels the heaver the projectile should be to counter the extra drag.
i shoot today dead ringer freak extreme out of my chrosbow, it is the worse accurate broadhead i have ever shoot horibble. at 30 yards it plains 8 inches. i am very disappointed in then !!!
