Barrel Hunting?

[Redman]

Just in case you go barrel hunting....barrel test of multiple broadheads, now I know why I shoot Wac'Ems (you never know when a trophy barrel will step in front of you).. if you are thinking of a broadhead maybe this will help.

It looks to me that the WacEM's are the best. That was cool thanks for posting that.

Wac ems fly fantastic for me also!

now remember guys that was the wac' em 4 blade not the 3 blade. also the slick trick held its own also.

I would like to see what the different kinds of Muzzy's would do...I'm betting they would be similar to the wac'ems???

The barrel was a little more rusted than those I encounter on the trail . Seems like the mechanicals got a bad wrap since none fared well.

 

I have shot the slick trick three years ago, long before they were sold in stores. Sharp head great design, didn't fly as well as the Wacems from my old bow. I now have a stock of WacEms that makes it hard to try another head.

I still love my Muzzy's! I may try the Wac'ems or Slick tricks too.

Wac-em's seem to be the most copied BH out there. A close look at the G5 Striker, Cabela's Copperhead and RedHead (Bass Pro Shops) Blackout will tell you that this is a very solid design. I don't think I've ever seen so many "knock-offs" for a BH.

 

Personally, I'm sold on Slick Tricks. They shoot like darts out of my Bowtech and the ferrule is like a freakin' nail - not to mention the razor sharp blades out of the box. But I shoot a LOT of heads and when my bow is tuned well, Slick Tricks, Wac-Em's and their clones, Muzzys, G5 Montecs and Magnus Buzzcuts all group like field points.

 

It's kinda like most of the gear out there, you have to figure out what you have confidence in, and I'd shoot ANY of the BH's I mentioned above at just about anything that walks with confidence. BUT, if I had an elk tag, or I was going after bear, I would probably be shooting the Slick Tricks simply because you have 4 blades instead of 3 and they are more solid on impact than any other (aside maybe for the buzzcuts) than any other I've shot. I really like Montecs but after a pass-through they look like cookie dough - just not hard enough steel.

 

One BH I haven't shot and am dying to try is the Magnus Snuffer SS. It's the same shape as the Montec, but much harder, welded steel.

 

Just my $.02
