I've killed more than I can remember with the muzzy 100 grain 3 blade. It's the only broadhead I will use. Yep they ain't fancy but I've had no reason to change in 20 years

Take a look at the NAP Killzone and NAP Slingblade. No clips, rubber bands or o-rings to worry about.

I shot Rages for 1 season many, many years ago and had NO problems with them. The reason I went to something else was simply cost related. I'm not one to sharpen blades, and at least way back then you couldn't find replacement blades anywhere (and they were still nearly $30 when you ordered them offline)...when I'd shoot a Rage I'd basically throw it away and use a new one. At that time we were hunting property near Auburn that was crawling with does (like you kicked the top off an ant bed) and it was nothing to shoot a doe in the morning and another one in the afternoon literally every day. I was spending $100+ a week sometimes on broadheads.
I started with 3-blade Muzzys, and after those few years of experimenting with mechanicals and other brands, I went back to 3-blade Muzzys and haven't looked back since. I now shoot the fixed 3-blade "Trocar" Muzzys and they fly QUIET, kill everything they touch, and (for me) I can't tell any difference whatsoever in accuracy between them and any mechanical I've ever shot. I can buy a 3 pack for $25 and get replacement blades for $15 at the store next to my office any time I want them.

I like a solid constructed, 1-piece broadhead such as VPA, VanDeiman, Tooth of the Arrow, Iron Will, Valkyrie etc.
All mechanicals and most all the fixed blades on the local shelves like Muzzy, Slicktrick, etc are extremely fragile and will not break through a bone.
Of course, nothing will break through a bone without proper weight, but structural integrity is the #1 factor for penetration that why I like a solid 1 piece broadhead. I'm shooting a near 700 grain arrow so it'll blow right through with the proper head.

I have shot rage extremes for a few years and never had a problem. I also resharpen the heads after every kill so I never have to buy replacement blades. Saves some money being able to re-use them. I have lost two deer with the rages and both were shoulder shots. Mistakes on my part, not the head. I had one of the does I shot show back up on camera that lived through the experience. Ill see if I can find the picture if your interested in seeing it.
Only accurate rifles are interesting.

But I honestly don't think you can beat the exodus. That's a tough head and it penetrates and flies amazing. +1 killed quite a few with them myself.

I have used Rage chisel tip and Trypans with great success. The only one that was not a complete pass through was a bad shot by me that severed his spine and wad protruding out the opposite side by a quarter inch.

I appreciate every ones answers! Reason I’m going with mechanical instead of fixed blade is bc I’m new to the sport and a mechanical flys almost identical to a field tip and i want to take the factor of the fixed blade flying off course out, and also mechanical broadheads from what i have understood leave a bigger hole and the animal will bleed out a lot quicker therefore less suffering in the deers part and a quicker/easier find! From everything I’ve seen y’all talk about it seems that any of the ones i could use will kill and it’s all down to personal experience and finding out what you like! Thank you all and happy hunting boys!

The more potential problems you can eliminate the better. That's why I think the whisker biscuit is the best hunting rest there is.
