out of all the mechanical broadheads out there, people have their own idea of a nice head. is there a particaular one that the majority just feel is the better fieldtip characteristic flying broadhead? i wanna know who thinks what is the best and is it supported by others ..?
im trying to buy some but don't know which heads to choose. i just want a penetrating wide enough cut head without alot of tuning and for the broadhead to not control the arrow flight so much.

I have been using Aftershock Archery's Hypershock for about 4 years and can find no fault with them. I have shot several deer and turkeys with them and have had excellent penetration and good blood trails.
There design makes sense to me, it can't help but open and it's simple. They have a long forward section that has to penetrate before they open thus eliminating the bounce off that some of the forward mount blade designs experience. After penetrating they use simple mechanics to open. They also fly true, my bow required no tuning to shoot to the same point of aim as my field tips.
My experience with them has been good and I will continue to use them.

I use a Silver Strike 85/100 grain set to 100 grain 3 blade Expandable that I like.
It’s not one of those super expensive points about $12.00 per 3 or 4 cant remember off hand.
But what I like is they fly as good and true as my field points and are very low profile so as not to need any tuning, and I shoot an 80 pound bow to a maximum of 75 yards I need true arrow flight for that range.
Any problems at 30 yards will destroy a 75 yard shot.
Why do I shoot 75 yards, well I don’t shoot at deer at that range I practice to that range.
If I need a back up shot on a wounded deer, I can go out safely to 75 yards if he gives me that shot, and a few have and never moved after the second shot.
I had one after taking a good heart lung jump to 70 yards as I released the second, his knees buckled and he fell just as the arrow was on course for another heart lung hit blew through his spine as he was going down, if my arrow had of been any slower then 315 fps it would of passed over his back with out touching him.
But if you can keep a 3 inch group or smaller at 75 yards just thank how tight your 30 and 50 yard group are.
Anything from 30 to 50 yards I shoot 2 arrows at each of my 5 bulls eyes, to protect my arrows.
Anything under 30 I shoot 1 arrow per bulls eye, so shooting at 75 yards makes my closer much better to point of being scary good, and that will give your confidence a boost before hunting season.
I would look for a tip with a low profile and a chisel point.
Best of luck.
Hope this was of some help.

i've been shooting expandable broadheads for about 8 years. steelhead 100gr. has been extremely good. i even hit a few deer in the spine and dropped them like a rock. i recommend them.

Not to straight an arrow rotates not near as much as a shot from a gun for accuracy

I started shooting Rage Slipcam Expandables last season and they fly great. They are designed like field tips and instead of the blades flipping back like on normal expandables they slide out from the center on impact. They have a 2 blade 2" cutting diameter version and a three blade 1.5" cutting diameter version, I shoot the three blade. They have videos of it on their website.
