Muzzy's don't work for me.
I was out shooting today and had all pin's shooting bullet's ,that'
s until I put my Muzzy 90's on and all heck broke lose ,After coming close to throwing my bow across the yard , i decided to throw on my last season's Slick Trick's ,well what a surprise ,i was shooting bullet's once more ,so I guess the muzzy's just aren't for me . I was shooting 27"Easton Axis400 S/T's with 2" blazer's . I've heard from other guy's that they figured the 2" Blazer just wasn't enough vane to control the head. I don't know this to be a fact ,but it certainly appear's to me that they just might be some truth to this in my case .
Has anyone else got any idea's ,to why these Muzzy's aren't working for me ?

RE: Muzzy's don't work for me.
i dont have a problem with my muzzys grouping. 100gr 3blade last year and 125 3blade this year. they are definently finiky to bow tune...exspecially the 125s. they make the 100s look like baby broadheads lol. but once i got er in tune she threw the 125s where i wanted them to go.

RE: Muzzy's don't work for me.
My experience has been that Slick Tricks are easier to get field point matchining flight and impact than Muzzys. Still though, I have not found Muzzys to be a really big problem. If the Muzzys were used, and had been shot several times, there is a chance that the ferrules are bent. The ferrules are a somewhat weak point with Muzzys, IMHO. The aluminum ferrule can and does bend. The blade interlocking system is the strong point of those heads I suspect the Muzzy broadheads that you have are not spinning true to the arrow shaft.

The only way I could get them stable was a 5" feather w/ the most helical I could get....I've never had anything but trouble w/ those, which is why I no longer use them.

RE: Muzzy's don't work for me.
Muzzy's are the standard I shoot for , If I can get my muzzy's and field points hitting the same point of impact , it seems anything of similar weight i put on the front of my arrow will hit the same .
Moral of the story , muzzy's are the most dificult head to get to fly with field points that I know of , and thats why I tune with them .

RE: Muzzy's don't work for me.
I shoot the ST Axis with 2" Blazers and have no problems with Muzzy's. The Blazers are mounted with the maximum degree of offset the fletcher will allow. In fact; I can get the 75, 100, and 125 gr. Muzzy's to all shoot into 2" at 20 yards. The 100 grain, being closest to optimum spine, shoot the best. I agree that they are about the most difficult head to get to fly the same as field points, though.
