Inexpensive heads

[dkime]

What’s the least expensive heads that you guys have had luck with? I just made a comment on a post about high end expensive broadheads and it got me thinking about all the crap I’ve killed with Slick trick standards back when 4 cost you 25$ and could normally get em cheaper than that. I’ve also killed a few animals with the OG muzzles a little ways back

Kudupoint heads for me. I've had great luck with them, have yet to have one not spin straight, clean passthrough on a muley buck last year, consistent shooting, and about $40 for a 3 pack.

Thunderhead, killed a bunch of elk, pronghorn and deer with them. Really tuff, fly great and hold together through just about everything.

Thunderheads for me as well.

It’d be real interesting to see how many animals have fallen to a thunderhead over the years

I imagine it's a pile of elk/deer have been killed with the thunderhead. More will be taken this year. I use them in my recurve.

For compound, a relatively cheap fixed blade that I have found to fly well is the wackem. Been getting 4 per package. I'm assuming they are still packaged the same. Shop around and you can find them pretty cheap. Like $26-30 a package.

Ive always had goodluck with muzzy. One year I shot a buck quartering away the shot entered behind his Shoulder and exited through his throat, he ran 20 feet stopped
And I could see what looked like a water hose of blood coming out its Throat have never seen so much blood so quickly.

I've had good luck with the muzzy trocar for deer.

Back in 2012 I was looking for some 125gr Grim Reapers, but couldn't find any locally. I saw some 125gr NAP Spitfires on clearance for $19.99, and they looked similar to the GR's, so I bought a pack. First thing I checked was sharpness......good to go. Then I put them on arrows and spun them......absolutely perfect. Then I shot one head four times at 60 yards and all four were inside the 3.5" bullseye. I went back and bought the remaining 3 packs. Then shot a 308" OTC bull that September with one at 59 yards......devastating heads.

Those spitfires are hard on whitetails as well, lots of guys I knew would run them and played hell on some of the biggest bucks I’ve seen killed

You can find those Magnus Buzzcuts pretty cheap....good head

Been a mostly spitfire shooter for at least 15 years. But they are far from cheap anymore.

Thunder. Heads.

Walmart Muzzy 3 blades. Work like a charm!

Both the slick tricks and thunderheads have killed stuff for me! I still shoot the slick tricks, cause they fly so good and have never let me down.

I firmly believe if the man up stairs came down and forced me to choose which head I would have to buy for the rest of my life, STs would be the choice. Ferrules could use a bit more strength but you take the good with the bad.

To those of you who are saying your cheapest heads are still around that 45$ a pack mark, how much are you spending on heads each year? Last year was a down year and I still think I put 6 animals in the fridge, if it gets into double digits I’m either moving toward a head that can be resharpened or a cheaper head yet. I’m using the Day Six and STs right now and between the two I should be set for the 10 tags I’ve got this fall

I hunted with MA-3 fixed blades glue on heads for a few years back in the 70's and 80's. We'd buy them bulk for less than a dollar a head. They spun straight, were easy to file sharpen across the three blades. Shot a CO bighorn with them and other big game.

Also shot a lot with Rocky Mt Iron Heads and Titaniums....an obsolete 3-blade replaceable blade head. My buddy changed brands and sold me a decade's worth of heads for cheap. Shot a Stone sheep, muskox, two Canada moose and Alaskan Brown bear with them along with a pile of other critters.
