What broad heads do you like

I used Montec and Strikers in the past but tried Spitfires and Grim Reapers which performed very well last year. I'm going to stick with the Spitfires.

For today's fast compound bows and tough,durable carbon arrows, I prefer mechanical broadheads. They typically fly better, especially in windy conditions or where your body mechanics may alter your your shot. Additionally, I like that when you pull the broadhead out of your quiver, the razors are not exposed.
My personal preference for mechanicals are Wasp Jak Hammers 1 3/4 cut. We've shot lots of game with them, from hogs to bears, antelope to Moose. All the same results, short , large blood trails.
Good luck to you and let us know what you decide.

My preferance also...Mike.. they do make a 125GR in the Striker...

Very solid head..shot five Russian wild boar all were pass thrus except one which hung up on vane oppisite side..taken moose, Elk, Deer, Bear, Coyote, Badger...etc all with pass thrus...

The only downside is the same with all the low profile heads..if animal is not hit in lower third of body blood trail may be slight or nil...as the massive internal bleeding happens fast for little exturnal blood...

this year I am going to play with the G5 Striker Magnum...full 1.5 inch cut..made for closer range shooting but plan to tune for all ranges...

X2. I hunt with 3 125 grain Slick Trick magnums and 2 125 grain Grim Reapers in my quiver. I use the slick tricks for almost everything but will grab a grim reaper for a longer shot in windy conditions.

[Muskeg]

I use same thing 4 slick trick mags and 4 grim reaper white tail 2.5 in my CAT quiver.
I use reaper off the bat and have been very impressed by Laying a moose and an elk out within 20m of where they were shot. Blood painted grass and trees will keep me using them for now.

I have always used Muzzy 100 gr 3-bladers and been very happy. My friend talked me into trying the Tru-Fire switchblade mechanicals last year. I was very hesitant at first but after seeing the size of the cut on an elk I took last year I am going to continue to use them. It penetrated very deep too. I nicked it off the very back of his shoulder blade and it deflected downwards through his lung diagonally and into the top of his heart.

This is the cut next to an outdoor edge swing blade.

Muzzys or ThunderHeads fixed blades.

QADs look good.

Picking out a BH is like choosing a lady.

Seriously, the only thing I didn't like to see was the trend
to go to the un-nessicary super extra wide cut (Rage) and the
rediculus school boy colors of shartruse and day glow orange.

Hollywood and Modern is not needed when it comes to broadhead
colors and design.

They need to penitrate and fly strieght.
That's most important.
And do it everytime.
They should color them flat black.

Slick trick 4 blade or g5 2 blade havoc

[C Taylor]

Tried the PX2 on a Muskox this spring. Need a well tuned bow an switched to a stiffer splined arrow. Lined the large blade with the cock fletch an they flew exactly like target tips out as far as I practiced.
They done lots of damage, an killed quick. I was impressed

[shorthair ptr.]

Use whatever good quality broadhead flys best for you. It comes down to WHERE you put the arrow more than anything. I like a good three blade, one piece, cut on contact head. I have been using Montecs out of my compound and Woodsman's out of my recurve.

[bowhunter12]

I use Shuttle t lock black ops. Fly like field points and stay sharp. Not that it really matters but they are quiet flying broadheads

[MarceeSeamans]

Have always shot fixed blades and never thought I would go to a mechanical but the hypodermics changed my mind. Fly the exact same as my field points, never had an issue with them open and the damage they do is unreal.

[Backwoods Runner]

100 gr. Montecs all the way for everything. No blades to come loose and they always stay together. When they get dull, buy another set. Simple.

Or hand sharpen them like the "ole days" ...lol...there are broadhead sharpening jigs that will make them sharp as new or even better...

Been using slick trick mag 100s for years, but with all I've heard about the QAD exodus I may have to try them out
