Default Broadheads?

I am looking at trying out some new broadheads this season. Does anybody have any suggestions? I shot the RAGE 2 blades last year but was unhappy with them.

Does anybody shoot the Slicktrick 100 gr. mechanicals?

I havent shot the Slick Tricks but am using the Rage this year. I know people that are shooting the slick tricks and I havent heard too many bad things about them. What didnt you like about the rage?

Guys please for give me for the mix up it was a long night and i was actually looking at broadheads, reading some reviews, and jotting down some names and wrote the wrong one down.

What i meant to inquire about is the Spitfire 100 grain mechanical.

As far as the RAGE broadheads, i kept having to push the blades back in. It really messed with me when i was in my stand. I felt like i had to constantly check them.

I had the same problem with the Rages. It seemed like 2 of the 3 broadheads in the pack wouldn't stay closed. I was informed by someone who worked at Bass Pro if you contact Field Logic and tell them you had a problem they will send you another pack. I have switched to the Aftershock Hypershock. Also guys I know use Vortex and love them 100gr. has a 2 1/4 inch cutting diameter.

fixed Blade 3 Blades always fly excellent & do a great job. Not a fan of mechanicals. What you feel is good for you. Everyone seems to think their choice is best. Lots of excellent heads out there but some problem makers too.
