I've shot Muzzy broadheads since they came out and so do all the guys I hunt with. We've taken several black bears, 3 elk and I couldn't even guess how many deer with these heads. If your bow is tuned properly, it will shoot a fixed blade broadhead as good as an expandable and you are GUARANTEED the blades will be open.

I have always used Muzzy or Thunderhead fixed blade broadheads. I shoot 100 grain in my compound and 125 grain in my crossbow. Also the Cabelas Laser Pro broadheads are not too bad, and are about the cheapest ones around. About $26 for 6 broadheads, about half the price of Muzzy's. Have heard good things about the Mechanicals but i don't trust them personally. I have seen too many hunting shows where the arrow does not pass through when using Mechanicals. I have always had pass throughs with fixed blades. 2 exit holes is always better than 1, regardless of cutting diameter.

The best broadhead is the one that your bow will shoot well.
There are a lot of excellent broadheads out there, some of the fixed blades will plane slightly off target if your bow is a little out of tune. The mechanicals can limit penetration on the lower poundage bows but most fly true.
Short answer, get the ones that you consistently hit the target with and make sure they are razor sharp.

I always used to use 100 grain steel force up until I got my new bow. When I tried shooting fixed broadheads the arrows wouldn't group up properly (I tried many different brands and styles). I finally ended up using 100 grain grim reaper broad heads. they are a mechanical broadhead that does not use rubberbands or o rings. They also have 3 smaller razors on the tip so it helps on the penetration. The main blades are the biggest out that I have found on a mechanical and they fly and group up like your field points.

Yes I hunt. The types of broad heads to use depend on your bow, and the poundage of your bow... lower poundage bows I would use a fixed three blade broadhead so that you would get guaranteed penetration. But if you have higher poundage bow such as 60lbs I would use mechanical broadheads as this should be sufficient poundage to shoot and activate the blades on impact. I have not shot them much myself because I trust the fixed 3 blade broadheads as they have not failed me yet.
I hope this helps

satellite or muzzy. SOme people use mechanicals so they arrow flies truer to a field point for practice get a block target and buy the bes3 blade broadheads you can afford. 100 grain usually...practice. they will do the job be careful though..dont get cut

I like 125 grain mechanical ( expandable )
Fly true out of my Browning
Where as fix blades some times drift more.

well i use three sided blade broad heads but i think it's just what your hunting and it's usually personal preference. but harpoons are sort of hard to take out
