never had any luck with the muzzys, i tried both the 90 and 100 grain 4-blade and flight was erratic at best, i am considered by my hunting friends as fanatical on my broadhead set-ups with tuning and re-tuning with the spin-tester (wheels), and weighing each bolt for almost exact consistancy, i fou...

sumner, i've found in the past the spinner has many benefits for practice and for broadheads, i have yet to shoot any wasps but i bet they fly as good as ST's many fixed heads would fly alot better than guys give them credit for cause they are most of the time out of tune,speed......... :D

the pro-elites were coming apart upon impact, i shot a big deer with one and it split in half and i found the other half inside of him, i dont think carbon bolts of 20" should do this, i mainly shoot 125 grain slick tricks out of it, so i guess a 20-30 yard shot shouldnt be effected too much by...
