Default What kind of broadheads do you recommend?

For many years now I have used Thunderhead 125 for deer. I really want to try a mechanical broadhead but there are so many on the market I'm not sure what to go with. Please give me a few suggestions from your hunting experience with mechanical BH's.

Thanks for your help.

I really dont have experience with mechanicals but my buddys do, a lot of them like the grim reaper razortips, a pretty good lookin head. Good Luck

I have had very good success with the rocket mini blasters on turkeys but have been leery to use them for big game....have been considering the use of rage 2 blades since they have been getting good on game reviews...
