Now that wasn't soo hard was it Lou Lou.

The broadhead is the ONLY piece of equipment that you will purchase that actually kills the animal so buy a quality broadhead.

Personally I would stick with a fixed blade head. There are many out there that will fly every bit as good as your practice tipped arrows. With a fixed balde head there is nothing that can go wrong provided you buy a quality broadhead and don't go the cheap rout. They work every time.

My personal favorites are, as Lou Lou mentioned, Slick Tricks. http://slicktrick.net/ However, there are many broadheads being made that will do a wonderful job killing animals.

The main thing I look for in a broadhead is its durability............. I prefer a steel furrel, thick blades, and an excelent blade retention system.

Second is its flight characteristics. Second because if it won't hold together who cares how well it flies.

Third is the cutting diameter. I don't want an ultra small cutting diameter but I also don't want a 2 inch cut either. I prefer to compromise with something with three or four blades between 1 - 1.25 inches. This makes a large enough hole but does not hinder penetration by having to cut huge amounts of tissue and bone.

Fourth is the blade sharpness, any QUALITY broadhead will have sharp blades. They may not be the sharpest made (someone has to be the sharpest and someone has to be the dullest) but they will be plenty sharp enough to efficiently slice through an animal.
