Muzzy Broadheads 
by Art Champoux

Bad to the bone is MUZZY'S  logo. But at Big Al's Archery shop we found out that bad through the concrete was also very impressive.   Tom Costa's 64 lbs HOYT proved what  MUZZY  can do.
   
The Trocar tips, the first company to use one by the way, aluminum ferrule and the stainless steel blades proved beyond a doubt that  MUZZY'S  hit hard.   From the 75 grain to the 130 grain broadhead, MUZZY'S  performed. Toms' Hoyt draw length was set at 29" and propelled a 27-inch arrow at 290 fps. The bow was fast. All arrows that were shot were aluminum. 

The cinder block was set up at 20 yards away. The 75 grain screw in head was the first to be fired. The Trocar tip stuck in the cinder block easily. The ferrule bent but the tip and blades remained intact. The 90-grain was fired next. Again the patented Trocar tip stuck deeply into the cinder block. This time though nothing bent. The tip, ferrule and blades looked like they came out of the pkg. The only thing that showed any damage was the aluminum insert the head was screwed into. The arrow was broken at that point. Impressive.

The 100 grain 3 blade was up next. Again the arrow was shot and the MUZZY'S again stuck in the cinder block. But the results were a little different. The tip, ferrule and blades were perfectly straight, but the impact pushed the entire head straight back into the shaft.  The tip was protruding from the shaft with the blades cutting the aluminum shaft in three straight places extending down the shaft with the edges sticking out like wings from a plane.  What a sight. Remember that the edges that cut the aluminum shaft were DULL. As this is the back edge of the broadhead.

Of course, this was a controlled test. I have used is MUZZY'S in the field and that's where the real rubber meets the road.  Two  MUZZY  tipped arrows went through a boars lungs using 60lb WHEEL bow . No cams, no fast flite, no carbon arrows and at 60 lbs. The results were as impressive as the block test only I got a real trophy I could use.

DESIGN - 5 out of 5
The easiest way to install a  MUZZY is to follow the directions. But I like to screw the ferrule into the arrow shaft, and then I can hold the arrow to install blades.   To change blades you do not have to take the head off the shaft.  Just undo the tip, put in new blades and  tighten tip.

RUGGEDNESS - 5 out of 5 
Not only does it go into cinder blocks and stay together but it also breaks them. This is one tough line of broadheads.

PRICE - 5 out of 5
Competitive with other brands that give you 3 heads while is MUZZY gives you 6.

FEATURES - 5 out of 5
A tip that can be unscrewed so blades can be replaced without taking the shaft off the arrow Trocar tips, stainless blades and a company that stands behind their product.  They also offer a diverse line of models and weights, for carbon or aluminum shafts plus practice blades. 

Final Comments:
Strength, durability and a price you can afford. Regardless of the particular model you choose, you get a tough head for any size game that will do the job you need to bring your trophy home.
