I'm pretty new to the bow hunting world, and of course the broadhead market is vast. What are some of your suggestions? Will only be used for deer hunting.

Get some Spitfires, i swear by them. And the good thing is that they fly just like ur field points, so u dont have to adjust ur sights. They also make some nasty holes too!!!

In the past I've used Muzzy, NAP, Rocky Mountain, Slick Tick, and Rocket broadheads. All of them performed well. I currently carry Slick Tricks, and Rocky Mountain Extreme(discontinued). This past winter I bought a set of the new Rocky Mountain Snyper 3-blade. I'll be using those this fall.

Any broad head will do the trick as long as its strong and sharp and you put it where you are aiming!!!

Ive used expandables the last few years and done fine.. this year I will probably shoot something different though(out of expandables.. LOL)

I have to agree with Dietz. Just about any broadhead on the market will do the job for you. The main reasons BH's don't fly true is because of the bow being out of tune or some sort of arrow contact. These minute problems don't show up with field points, but they get exaggerated with broadheads and longer distances.

I've used the Magnus Stinger and the G5 Striker both with great results. I was thinking about trying the Rage 2 blade, but I have no reason to change so it would be purely experimental.

About the only broadhead I've heard poor results about is the Muzzy 4 blade. The 3-blade Muzzy still remains a very popular and tested head.

It should also be pointed out that whatever broadhead you choose, you should practice with them. It is not uncommon to find that broadheads(especially fixed blade)have a different impact point than your field tips. It may require some bow tuning.

I started with Thunderheads and last year bought some Rage 2 Blades. Thunderheads were sharp and durable. Never had a shot at an animal with the Rage heads

Slick Trick three blade, cheaper than most and just as good.

Wasp Boss Bullet and Wasp Boss work for me. 6 broadheads for $30 instead of 3 for $30 also helps.

I have shot Muzzies for many years and have nothing but good things to say about them. I watched my son and a friend use the new Rage broadheads last season and I have never seen such an exit hole or blood trail from a arrow shot deer.

I will be changing to the Rage 2 blade this season. One then needs to practice with the broadheads to make sure they are tuned right.

Guys.......Slick Trick doesn't make a 3 blade. If you are shooting a 3 blade slick trick you are missing part of the head and it sure isn't going to fly right

Slick Tricks have 4 blades, are all steel and are very good heads. They are cheaper than the G5 heads (Montec and Striker)and I have had good luck with them. Slick Tricks are my choice for fixed blade heads.

I like the Wasp Jak Hammer 100s with the 1.25 inch cut for mechanicals. The Steelheads would be another good choice for a mechanical. The 100 grain Steelhead has a smaller cut(1.125) but penetrates well and is tough for a mechanical.

I agree as I have never heard or seen a 3 blade model. I did a search for a 3 blade Slick Trick and could not come up with anything. maybe a older model broadhead, I don't know.

Rage 2 Blade here, have not stuck anything yet with them, just started bow hunting last year again after 15 years off.
The blades DO fly like field tips.
