Default Broad heads

Fixed vs exspandables? Im pretty much an old school kind of guy. I perfer the Montec 100gr. by G5 fixed . This high effiecent balanced broadhead is machined from 6061 stainless steel all in one piece system , with todays bows exceeding 300fps, these machines demand high proformance from todays broadheads to hold up on impact where exspandables can fail at impact...face it ' how sad would it be to potentionally lose a nice buck from bad penertation or to find a blade broke off in your steak ,so think about a good fixed one piece system . If your lacking accuracy just practice more................

I got the wife a set of Slick Tricks 100grn 1" 4-blade .035
She's only pulling 40 lbs
Does that sound about right?
I'm gonna be pulling 60 lbs
What yall think I should go with.
We're both going with carbon arrows.
Give me some detail on arrow selection also.
Thanks,
Rock

i use easton carbonaeros excel arrows 3 vane,plastic, with 100 grain 2blade nugent braodhead by muzzy.Shhoting out of a mathews MQ32 62 # draw.Go to you archery pro shop,hopefully he has a range and have him measure your draw length and have cut the arrows to size,He can also make some recomondations,ask for 3 different ones.This way they dont push 1 item. Thats my opinion

I shot Thunderhead 100's for years. I have now converted to the Muzzy's. Harley is right on the Montec's if you do not mind spending the extra money. The 1 pc broadhead holds a better edge when resharpened. The 1 pc design, using the general law physics, would suggest a balanced and higher reliability broadhead. They run about $9-10 per broadhead. All other broadheads are about $5-6 ea.

I have always shot fixed blade broadheads the machanicals have that chance of failing but with fixed blades there are no "what ifs?"
