Lots of good heads out there but a good ole Muzzy will get the job done and has been doing it for years.

There are lots of quality choices out there but for overall penetration, simplicity and reliability I opt for a two blade fixed head. My preference are the Simmons Landsharks and Strickland Helix. This is the entry wound on a Kudu from a Simmons Landshark, you be the judge. Take a good look at the size of the cut...... now look at it again. No frills, no rubber bands, no shock collars......just great mechanical advantage, brutal efficiency and devastating performance.

I have killed a lot of hogs with Thunderhead!

[Mudslinger]

Hands down, Ramcats! I could fill up several pages of pics of animals I have killed with the Ramcats, both here and in Africa.

[dbpredator]

For those that use ramcat,which model do you use?

[Fishndude]

Do you like the grave diggers more than the swat?

Lol! I'm guessing that was tongue in cheek after watching Skinny shoot about 6 pigs in a row with a SWAT getting about 8" of penetration in each one? . Then the night he switches to Grave Digger Hybrids and shoots 4 in one night with all pass throughs including a double pass through.

I get it. Lol.

I didn't know he used the grave diggers on these last ones. I noticed the lack of pass throughs with the swats, and wondered about that. guess I should get me a pack of grave diggers.. the new extremes look good to me, are you using the coc ones or the chisel tip?

I too, shoot the lower side of poundage (58-62 with a 28" draw). So that limits the type of heads I use. In most cases, at our poundage, Texas deer are pretty easy to get a pass through on if a good shot is made, with most broad-heads. So I shoot a mechanical for deer with a smaller opening (1-3/8") to reduce the energy taken away from my arrow due to the head opening vs. the larger mechanicals that take more energy. But for pigs, I prefer a fixed head just for the additional penetration and strength most offer. Especially big pigs.

A lot had to do with your arrow choice and weight, along with draw length, and speed, as well as distance to the target. With a fixed head, I have found that the longer the blades are, the easier they slide through the meat and rib bone. But longer blades also make for potential arrow steering problems or erratic flight being that fixed blades act like steering fins on the front of your arrow. Shorter blades have a steeper shoulder angle on entry. There for loosing just a slight bit of energy as it cuts through the meat and bone. There is no perfect head for the most part. And they all have a trade-off somewhere down the line.

What ever you decided, make sure the blades a sharp! It makes for a faster bleed out and recovery. And make sure your rig is tuned so it gets the most out of the arrow you are shooting. Happy hunting!


Not my biggest. But my biggest bow kill on public lands.

They all work great with good shot placement.

I have had good luck getting slick tricks to shoot with field points, and with your 60# draw weight a fixed blade would be my choice of head for overall penetration on pigs and thicker skinned animals

[Kenner97]

I use slick trick mag and slick trick viper's
Shot plenty of hogs and a few deer over the last 3 years. Like with every broad head, shot placement is key. When I have done my part they have fallen in sight. I've had pretty good blood trails as long as shot placement was good. Hit high or back and it will be minimal but that's with any head. Get lots of pass thru's and I can just resharpen blades or put the replacements on

[sandbill]

I really like Slick Tricks.

[txdukklr]

Slick tricks or rage 2 blade originals are both great heads. Killed a pile of animals with both.

I've killed more animals than i care to count with these two heads. I usually have 3 rages and 2 slick tricks in my quiver
