Default Need help with Broadhead Choice

OK, I am shooting my 101st with the G5 Stryker 100gr Broadhead. This bow is set up with Fixed Pins and is used as my elk hunting set up.

Now I have the General, which I am using the Full Metal Jacket 340 and shooting G5 Striker100 grain heads. I have been thinking about what broadhead to shoot, as this bow is my whitetail set up. Thinking about expandables, but not sure..

Help and your suggestions, experiences are appreciated.

I voted Rage since that is what I'm using.

The only one I'd avoid is the G5 Tekkan. I've read nothing but bad news about that head.

I picked Rage since you said you were leaning toward a mechanical head. Spitfires are good too but I'd give the slight edge to Rage.

they just redesigned the G5 Tekan, 1.5" cutting diameter now

That said I shoot either Montecs or Hellrazors
I'm leaning towards the hellrazors this year.

I voted G5 Strikers because it's the best head of those you have listed.
