Default RE: Help me pick a broadhead

My experience with Rockets is apparently like everyone else's - Completely ruined after one shot. I guess I'm only planning on shooting each one once. You'd think they'd come up with a .030+ blade design. But, if you're in the business of selling broadheads, making a more sturdy (translation: less breakable) head - that's counterproductive. From a business standpoint... If that makes sense?..?

I dunno if I've been lucky or what, but I've never had any problems stabilizing a fixed blade head. Every once in a while,(muzzy, for example)a certainhead that might change point of impact by an inch or two on me, but that's it. Maybe it's b/c I usebig feathers, which help FOC or maybe they juststeer them a little better, or maybe I'm just not really finicky about it - but I never have any problems getting broadheads to fly.

One thing to consider is that with an ultralight arrow, it's gonna put the FOC totally off the charts, and that should really help with a true flight.

Windwalker - thanks for the input - I kinda figured the Wasp might be a more sturdy option than the Rocket. By the way- I used to have a Pro Line Mountain Series bow. Slower than cold molasses. LOL Got deer with it though, so I guess it wasn't that bad. That 57 grain Rocket really has my attention. The thought of keeping my 250 grain yardage markings has me salivating.
