Broadhead choice

[218er]

Montec g5. Is a super tough fixed blade machined from one piece of metal that is simple enough anyone can sharpen

[Wannabelikedan]

Loaded with the 190 meathead, 225 vandieman, and 300 tuffhead.

I don't really have a dog in the fight. I've tried a ton of em through the years. Don't think any of em performed any better than the others as far as killing deer.

For me it comes down to what looks cool on the end of my arrow this season. I went through a period when I wanted the hardest steel known to man. Now I'm a middle of the road type guy for ease of sharpening. I don't like paying a small fortune for a broadhead cause I sling a bunch of arrows at critters and prone to lose them.

I guess in no particular order that meets my criteria and often finds its way in my quiver are as followed:

Original Woodsmen
Zwickey Eskimo
Tusker Javalin
Muzzy phantoms
G5 montecs
Ace standards
Snuffers

Vpa 2 blade 200 grain! Edge retention is fantastic. All of the Vpa heads are great.

I really like QAD Exodus', and Slick Trick Magnums. Both fly really well out of a tuned bow, and provide great penetration.

I've tried a few

Nap BloodRunner 2 - performed pretty well on several deer. I stopped using these

Slick Trick Magnum - Shot one Doe -likely one lung. Never recovered. This is my go to for Elk hunting more than likely

Grim Reaper razortip 1 3/4 - These have performed great on several deer. I have had two blades sheer off on entry (two separate occurrences where one blade sheered off) But the deer were recovered quickly. Both were does

Grim Reaper Whitetail special - took a buck and the angle was really steep, not sure if the blade deflected on opening or I missed my mark. Still recovered the deer, but the hit was a bit of a freak show. never entered the chest cavity, just put a huge gash down the ribs and then cut an artery near the elbow

Qad Exodus and slick trick's for me. Every now and then I'll use a spitfire.

Just about all of em do the trick. If they didn't, they wouldn't be on the shelf.

Slick trick mags

[Coolhandluke]

I’m partial to my g5 t3 expandable which I see are now called deadmeats and they raised the price 20 bucks. Good thing I had a backstock of them. Also shoot muzzy fixed blades. Trocar and 3 blades. Those cheap muzzy 3 blades shoot true.

Muzzy 100gr 3 blade out of the compound bow.

Magnus/Thunder valley 125gr 3 blade coc for the trad bows.

My Iron Will order showed up.

I’m happy
Arrow weighs 492.8 grains

In recent years I’ve been using muzzy and slick trick. They fly pretty close to field tip

[Dpierce72]

The last two animals I've shot with 2"-cut rage have been absolutely destroyed - Mature buck lasted <100 yards and adult boar bear lasted <50 yards.

I know they are highly debatable, but they are lethal IMO. My tune may change one day but for now, I 'm a fan.

I have moved to the 'no collar'...

[lightsareout]

I shoot slick trick standards. I've had good results on the deer I've shot with them. Only complaint I have is how loud they are. Next year I may consider going to a different head which is not vented.
