Default looking to go to mechanical blade

i am just looking for some advice on going to a mechanical blade. i have been using fixed blades but because my neighbors are having a problem with me shooting in my own yard i know have to go to a range nearby where they only allow field points. i have been told that the swhacker broadhead is good from a buddy of mine, also trophy ridge undertaker has been recommended to me. im just looking for a few more opinions. thanks for any advice.

The only mechanical I would personally use and have 100% confidence in is the Rocket steel head.

Having said that... are there laws in Illinois, or your locality, that prohibit you from shooting a bow in your yard? If not I'd tell the neighbors to mind their own business and continue to practice.

best head i've ever used is G5 Tekans, I've never had any problems with them at all.

I haven't talked to anyone that has used them that didn't like them.

grimreapers would be a good choice as well if your looking for an "over the top"- the tekans are the "slide back" style if you know what i mean

Grim Reapers my friend are sweet broadheads. The create some nasty wound channels and out penetrate almost all other mechanicals on the market.

If you have your equipment tuned right, you should not have to every shoot your broadheads. Ive been hunting with every bow type made, for over 30 years and have never shot broadheads except at animals. If you bow is tuned, your arrows spined right and head tuned, they will group just like you field points.

But to answer your question, pretty much all mechanicals work on similar principals, pick what you like and go to town. Just stear clear from spiral cuts. They suck.
