Default New broadheads, they any good?

I just got some NAP thunderheads for Christmas, they look nice with a good cutting diameter, looks like the tip will penetrate bone easily. Any of you tried or heard anything of them?

Default I heard broadheads

are too hard to use, if you can't hit the broadside of a barn. Makes the shooting difficult.

They are a good broadhead with a pretty good following. Tune your bow, and they will take down whatever you feel like shooting.

I shoot the 100 gr. thunderheads and have no need to look any further.
You will be happy with them!

Buddy at work swears by them, and has taken many nice deer with them.

i used mechanicals, they are good. i have used fixed blades with smaller diameters and like an inch or inch and a quarter and they penetrate bone soooo much better than my 2 blade rage with a 2 inch cutting diameter

I bet I have shot dozens of deer with em. They are old school heads. Razor sharp, great penetration, but they are delicate. Not the best for straightness. I used them for 20 years.

I tried them, didnt like the way they shot, went to Muzzy next and have been shooting them for the last 18 years. Muzzy makes a great broadhead that shoots great, I never had the need to try anything else.
