Oh, by the way, welcome to the forums! You should maybe tell us a little about yourself, we probably have members in your neck of the woods. :D

Ditto to what John said...welcome aboard.

The best broadhead is different for just about everyone. I personally prefer Montec G5's...very durable fixed blade, cut on contact, one piece 3 blade, re-useable, and they've always grouped the same as my field points.

welcome to the forums....

an answer the original question which broadheads are best, there's a lot of things to consider.

some are cheaper than others. some made more for penetration, while others for cutting more surface area. others are more forgiving to shoot than others.

mechanical heads, that open up or where the blades deploy, generally are easier to shoot more accurate. the profile is closest to a field point with the blades tucked into the ferrule. many are bigger cutting diameters though that won't penetrate as easily, especially a high foward hit that goes into the shoulder blade. 60 lbs of draw weight and up along with a good shot placement behind the shoulder will leave massive blood trails.

fixed blades are self explainatory. they in general have a lesser cutting diameter but penetrate more. they can be cheaper but still very durable. the blades are out there so bad form or a bow that's not tuned well won't shoot them as accurately as mechanical type heads. muzzy's are a good example. these are more likely make it through ribs and lighter portions of the shoulder blades in the event that something happens and you've made a less than idea shot.

a fixed blade variation is callled a cut-on-contact head. the blade edges form into a point. everything with fixed blades still apply, however they can get messed up a bit if you hit rock or ledge. they offer the most penetration. they're best used with low poundage or much slower bows, in addition to tradtional recurve and long bows. Magnus, Steel Force, and Muzzy (Phantom model) are brand examples.

100 gr heads are the most common that shoot well from many setups. basically they all work. if you find one that seems to work well and gives you confidence that it'll do the job, then use that. peace of mind and not worrying if your equipment will work is a big part of taking game. when you come to full draw on game, you have enough to worry about.
