Muzzy broadheads?

I shoot a Barnnett Revolution Xbow. Last year I had accuracy problems with 125 Thunderheads on my carbon bolts. It was suggested that I try a different broadhead so I bid on some Muzzy 125's on ebay. I shot a 5 shot 2" group at 25 yards today with the Muzzy/Carbon Express combo with a gusty cross wind and w/o trying especially hard. Anyone have opinions about performance of the Muzzy on deer?
I'm 100% satisfied with the outcome of the Thunderhead 125's on 2219 shafts but just want some options since I have a couple dozen carbon bolts.

    When I went to carbon, I had to go to a 4 inch vane to get them to shoot right. I was and still am shooting thunderheads. The bolts had 5 inch vanes when I bought them new but never could get them to shoot good. I tried a 5 inch feather with no luck. Not sure what your bolts are fletched with, but have a friend that had the same problem as I did. Other than that I have friends that won't shoot anything but muzzy and have never heard anything bad about them.

    I've got 4" plastic vanes on both carbon and 2219 aluminum. I'd be satisfied with the accuracy of the Muzzies compared to the miserable 5-6" spread I got with the Thunderheads(on the carbon bolts). I prefer the 125's to keep the bolt weight close to 500 grains. I'll shoot some more on a calm day to verify today's results.
