Anyone shooting muzzy phantoms? I am kinda thinking about the 220g stainless steel phantom for elk. I bought a pack of 125g to try on turkeys, they seem sharp (they shave, maybe need just a slight touch up). I am thinking that the ferrule running up almost all the way to the point would keep the tip from folding over on bone hits? What do you think?
I have used phantom 125 with good results on deer and hogs. Never have shot the 220's but I don't think you would be disappointed. Just shoot around those bones. LOL
With my form and focus, I usually hit a few rocks and maybe a tree before I get to any meat. I like a broadhead that I can pull out of the mud and shoot again. I have had an empty quiver more than once. LOL
I have also used the 125, they have held up well and are pretty sharp out of the package. I have some 220's but havent tried them yet
I have had great luck with the 220's
I use the 220'S minus the bleeder and love the head. strong durable and resharbens nicely
I use both but lean heavily towards the 220's (no pun intended)
Flies true, resharpens easy.
The bleeders are a little tricky until you get the hang of it. Then it's fairly easy. I have resharpened them too using the muzzy tool.
It's a well made head. I like em. I switched all my heads out to phantoms last year.
I use the 220's without the bleeders, and the 125's with 100 gr. inserts. Well made bh's
I love 'em. I have shot 10 deer with them the last 2 years including a bad shot through the shoulder of a doe. The arrow broke but the head got sharp again quick and passed through a couple more deer later in the year. I too shoot 'em as a 2 blade.
Wicked and tough head. 220's get my vote also. They seem very sharp from the box, however I rework all mine with a KME just to satisfy my inner compulsives. :)
I shoot 125's hog and deer hunting. Great head!
I do want to try a heavier head. My arrows are a little light.
220's are a great head. THis fall I shot a doe one night recovered the deer and resharpened the head, cleaned the arrow and the next night shot another doe. I have taken six deer & two turkeys in the last couple of years. easy to sharpen and fly true. I would have no problem using the Phantoms on Elk.
The 220 is a great head...very sharp, flies true, and penetrates super.

i use the strong 220 with the bleeder, easy to sharp, great hole and bloodtrail
a very good choice in double bevel
