Bear broad head advice

Recommended Posts

Hey guys! I got a bear coming into a tank and was thinking about goin after him come archery season. Currently I'm running muzzy 100 grain 3 blade. This is my first time goin after bear with a stick and string, what do you guys think? Should I put something heavier on? What broadhead are you all using? Any advice would be appreciated. THANKS!

100 gr muzzy's brought down the 3 elk in my avitar. Just put it in the boiler room, it'll take care of the rest.

Killed a bear with a 3 blade 75 grain muzzy 2 years ago blew through him and he buckled up at about 60 yards think you will be fine

I prefer the G5 Montec. Weight isn't as important as BH construction. Find where your arrow has the most KE. Lost a bear to replaceable blades.

I also shot a lot of game with 3 blade muzzy 100 grain, but after switching to the GraveDigger. There is not a better broadhead for getting the job done!

^^Or this, if I didn't already have 2 dozen Muzzys and replacement blades for them all, I'd be trying these.

100grain shwacker will do the trick every time. Several CWT members including myself have taken bears with shwackers.

Slick Tricks, G5 Strikers, Magnus Stinger Buzzcut. All very good heads. Honestly, the head you are shooting, 3 blade Muzzy 100 gr., is my go-to broadhead. If they shoot well out of your bow, I would stick with them.

 

Here are a few critters that I've taken with the standard Muzzy 100 Gr. All died within sight.

I desperately hate Muzzy broadheads due to flimsy materials and lack of straightness, however they have been proven killers for 3 decades. Bears are not any tougher than a big mule deer. They have a big chest cavity, however it is deep from spine to sternum, not from side to side. Any good moderate deer setup should suffice.
