F-15

I have not experienced them yet, but my buddies have stated that nothing compares to the Carbon Express F-15, fixed blade

all you have to do is go to your paint program in your computer and resize or rename the picture and save it and it will allow you to post your picture again. I do it all the time.

Snuffers have worked awesome for me on deer, bears and moose. I plan to try the Phatheads this year. I have heard good things about them.

Well I've killed deer with Thunderheads, Muzzy 4 blades, Tri Locks, and Steelforce heads. Quite honestly it really all boils down to shot placement. I've had great bloodtrails from all the heads listed, and some not so great. I've had deer not even react and watch them fall, and I've had deer run like a scalded cat. Every situation is different.

I can't understand all the posts about how one head gives a better blood trial than another when no two shots on game are exactly the same, very hard to quatify and control the situation. I think that a 4 blade has the potential to give a better trail but can't really prove it.

I will say that big expandables to leave huge blood trail when they are put in the correct spot and work as advertised. I still don't use them but know a few guys that do.

Any sharp, straight shooting, well built head thru the lungs will result in a dead deer and a decent blood trial IMHO.

Thunderheads have always left the best and shortest bloodtrails for me. I have gotten away from them for the last few seasons while I was trying out several of the latest and greatest new broadheads, but will be going back to the tried and true Thunderheads this year.

i have shot deer and seen deer shot with close to a dozen different types of heads, mechanicals and fixed, and the blood trails usualy always depend on the cut diameter of the head. Mechanical or not.

I love 3 blade muzzy. I have personally seen some bad trails with the montecs.

Rocky Mountain Ti-100 used to be awesome!!! Back when companies didn't have to feel the need to charge an insane $80 for a 3pk of Titanium b-heads! :D

These days, the best bloodtrails that I've seen have come from Slick Tricks and Wac 'Ems. :shade:

The CX F-15 left the best blood trail I've ever seen. Looked like a cheap B rated horror flick. Next to that, the Magnus Stinger/Buzzcut 4 blade, they are wicked too.

100 guys & 100 different heads. Mine are Rocky Mountain 3 Blade Ironheads & rocky Mountains since they came on the market in the 70s. 100+ animals-Whitetail, Mule Deer, Black Bears, Buffalo, Elk, Caribou, Wild Hogs & more. Their just plain excellent.
Shot placement always helps...

Simmons Landshark 160gr w bleeder blade. Easy to sharpen, very strong, giant wound channel.

New guy in Montana apparently bought the company from Jerry. I've been using Landsharks for at least 10 years. Tried a few mechanicals, but keep going back to Landsharks.

Gotta broadhead tune!!!!

I think shot location has more to do then actual BH cut.I had my best blood trail with a 4blade 90gr muzzy.Only 1in cut.Had one of my worst with a 2in cut mechanical.Both deer died with in 60 yrds but just different hits with the head.I always seem to have really good results with the 90 4blade muzzy so im stickin with'em

What fixed blade made the best blood trail:
-based on how many kills
-compared to what other heads
-equivalent double lung shot placement comparisions

NAP Hellrazors, Magnus Snuffer SS/Stinger buzzcuts, G5 Strikers/Striker Mags, Slick Tricks, Muzzy Phantom Mx, Steelforce Phatheads, and any others you can think of. They are all awesome! If you don't mind a little broadhead tuning the G5 Striker Magnums have a 1 1/2" cutting diameter and sharp, and I mean real friggin' sharp blades. These will give you the results you want almost every time.

It is not that one head will leave a better bloodtrail than any other it is more where you hit the animal, whether or not you have an exit hole and whether or not the exit hole is low or high. One of the best blood trails you will ever see is an animal hit dead square in the hams believe it or not.
