i tried the muzzy phanon and magnus stinger 125 grain and the stinger seemed to fly better for me, but muzzy does make top quality broadheads. go with what shoot's to best for you.

I made a single bevel out of my Phantom SS broadheads and weigh 190gr. They fly very well but man they were a pain to get sharp.

I love them (and Razorcaps). Hard to sharpen???? Not if  you take out the bleeder blade. They shoot straight and pentrate like crazy.

Phatoms are great. the only thing is they are not as durable as an all steel head. They are good for a couple deer.
Good Luck

They are my second favorite BH (right behind the Grizz 190).  I shot a deer with them last year and was very impressed with the performance.  This year, a whitetail doe and pronghorn buck have both fallen to the Phantom.  I use the 200 grain head with the bleeder.

I have used the 220 grain Stainless Phantom head the last couple of years.  I have killed a couple of hogs and a couple of deer with it.

I shot through the shoulder blade of a 150 lb hog this pass summer.  The pig was only about 6' away and even then I do not expect a repeat performance with the same hit every time.  The head was not harmed in the least.

I like the design because the first half of the blade enters like a two blade before the blades make contact.  I believe this allows for better penetration in case of a bone hit.

I tried the phantoms and thought they were absolute junk.  The blade rattled in flight.  They didnt fly well and for some reason they didnt seem as sharp as other muzzy products.  I dont know some like them some dont.  I however am not a fan.  I even called muzzy, paid the shipping to have them sent back to get replacements for the ones that were rattling, and then when i got the new package gave them a try again.  I got two that did the same thing.  So I went back to the bear green heads.  Cant beat those babies.

NEver had one ratt;e yet and I bought two packs? I believe ya cause I had the same thing happen with stingers, did not like them, though others love em?

The onr thing I dont like is pulling off the bleeders, that is tricky. I can pull them down but then getting them ount is another trick. Any easy way to do this?

P.S. I been thinking about just shooting 145 gr 4 blade muzzys! I KNOW they are sharp out the package and no worries bout sharpening, I can sharpen things but I dont think I am ever satisfied.

I have a 220 stainless in my quiver this year. It seems to be a well crafted BH. I haven't gotten it "wet" yet but I'm looking forward to see what it can do.
