I use a mech head called "Deadringers" I have now shot 4 deer with them and love them.it is hard to explain but they open backwards from other mech heads...on impact the blades slide back and expand.I shoot a exocet xbow and they work great for me.

I know Aftershock (makers of Hypershock heads) just came out with a new mechanical designed for crossbows. The outside of the mechanical blades are sharpened and begin cutting on contact clearing the way for the HUGE blades. I'm not an xbow hunter, but they look WICKED.

I guess I have never thought of what heads they can use, I imagine it is going to be some of those heavier ones.

Re: crossbow broadheads????????

for my crossbow last season i tried Muzzy 100 grain 4-blades, and thunderhead 100g. If the bow is fast, then use mechanicals, most will shoot like fp do.
