So, has anybody tried them? I'm most interested in the claim that there was a LOT of blade movement and some difficulty opening blades. Is there any truth to these claims?
The concept of the M.O.R.E. and its folding blades had me intrigued but I like to keep it simple.
Due to the broadhead?
We are going to use the Bullhead, but sure like the concept of fitting the MORE head in the quiver.
It was due to something. He could have yanked the shot, we all have done it at one point. It could have been the broadhead. I wasn't there, I simply watched the video.
I will say that I spent an afternoon shooting the M.O.R.E. heads with cameras off simply because I wanted to spend the time and give them the benefit of the doubt. The flight was erratic. Even at 10 yards for every one shot that hit a bullseye, I would have two more shots that would be anywhere from 2" to 6" off target. 20 yards and further, forget it. I never once had a bullseye impact and the flight was a total shotgun type of pattern. This is out of a tuned bow (remember I shoot Bullheads) and using Bullhead arrows. Why I could not get the M.O.R.E. heads to fly, I don't know. All I can figure is it was due to how loose the blades are, but that is a total guess.
Again, don't take my word though, because it is impossible for me to be unbiased and give a fair report. (insert rolling eyes here) $40 and you can make up your own mind.
I personally don't care who's brand of broadhead that anyone shoots at turkeys, deer, or any other game animal. I am a turkey hunter who uses a bow before anything else. I was simply relaying accurate info on a new product. I did not bash the Muzzy brand or the product. Not one thing that I have typed regarding my experience with the product is false. It is the truth and accurate ... that is not bashing. I spent my money at my own doing to buy a new product that I found intriguing, pretty simple really.
Again, don't believe me, that is fine. Man up and spend $40 and make your own assessment of the product, rather than say the only reviews online are by someone affiliated with another brand and they are biased. I have yet to see anyone offer any more hands on information (including Muzzy themselves) than what I have given.
This was not started to call you out. I intentionally didn't mention your name. I really do appreciate you taking your time and money to do a review of the M.O.R.E. head. I just wish that it was someone else who did it. Someone who wasn't affiliated with the competition.
As for "manning up", I plan to do just that. However, because I can't seem to find anyone else with firsthand experience with them, I won't buy them until I can check them out in person.
Seriously, DEC, you're making this look worse for you and, unfortunately, Magnus.
If someone from Muzzy did the same with Bullheads you'd be all over it.
Sean, if you do buy a package, please let a couple of other people shoot them for comparison.
I doubt I'll trade in my Bullheads, even with some small problems I'm having, but I am anxious to see what others come up with.
Personally if we didn't make the bullhead I would be buying a head lopping broadhead. Its the best way to hunt turkeys with a bow. Your either killing them or your missing them. Derek Craig is a good guy and did the review totally on his own, Derek is a first class engineer and a very experienced bowhunter. We don't have paid pro staffers. The only paid pro staffers from Magnus is myself and I am the owner and a bowhunter for the past 35 years.
You should go to Dereks youtube site, New Day Outdoors, Derek reviews products all the time there.
If you bowhunt turkeys do yourself a favor and shoot a head lopping broadhead like our bullheads or guillotines, or the tom bomb or the muzzy more broadhead, its very effective and its a blast!!!
Just to clear things up, it WAS NOT my intention to insinuate that Magnus had somehow put Derek up to doing the review and I apologize if that's how it came off. I actually do believe Derek's review, but as stated above, it's tough to take something totally at face value when it's coming from someone affiliated with the competition, even if the competition already has an established, superior product. I also tend to want to try things out for myself.
The only intention of this thread was to find a bunch of people who either said "yes, the blade fit is sloppy and they don't fly well because of it" or "no, the tolerances are good and they seem to fly well". Since I didn't find enough to sway me one way or the other, I'll just check out a pack myself.
Its ALOT of fun, and very effective. I used various brands too. I cant comment on the MORE other than when I held it I didnt feel confident in its construction compared to a guillotine bullhead or DCAP. But havent shot or used.
