Default Best Mech. Head.

Looking for the best 75 grain mech. head. I will be delivering over 90lbs of KE.

Is a bigger cutting dia. better?
2 blade vs. 3 blade?
Should I use fixed heads instead?<img src=icon_smile_question.gif border=0 align=middle>

Please help, I have a hunt in Pike County IL. this weekend!

In the 75 grn heads there are some pretty good ones, but Rocket would have the most choices for you. The wasp Jackhammer is also pretty good.

The 75 grain GKF Deadhead Lil' Devil has an awesome 1 3/4&quot; cut.....simply devastating!!!

75 grain Rocket mini blaster. An excellent mechanical. BIG cut! Flies just like your field tip.

Frank (Kidd642) nailed it: Go with what you want, but you'll definitely do yourself a disservice if you don't look into the Rocket Aerohead Miniblaster!! It'll open up in ANYTHING (I 'bout split a turkey neck into a few years ago), and has a 1-3/4&quot; cutting diameter. It's truly an awesome head.

Discipline -- not desire -- determines destiny.

Yes, same question as Rack-Attack. That must be one heck of a fast bow.

With that much KE you really want a big cutting diameter. I have about 64 KE and shoot 100 grain Wasp Jackhammer (1 3/4&quot; cut dia) It blasts through easily acheiving full pass throughs (even through bone) and bleeds more than any deer I've shot with a shotgun slug! This head is not for everyone! You need high KE! You have it and the nice thing is tracking is hardly an issue. They go down quickly!

Good Luck!

PRACTICE....PRACTICE....PRACTICE......SUCCESS!

PS: Just got that $50 bucks back from BT, & a nice sticker. The wife doesn't know about the 50 bucks so here comes the stealth stab.

I love it when a plan comes together.
