Default Everyone please help me pick a fixed blade broadhead this year

Hey folks...

due to an injury I've had to drop my bow poundage by quite a bit. And so my energy levels have dropped to about 59 foot pounds of KE. I'm squeamish about using mechs at such energy levels. With enough horses, I prefer them, but I'm looking to fixed blades now.

Anyhoo..there are so many good choices today in fixed blades (including many "older" heads that are still just as effective that I used in years past), I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed, honestly. I've been toting mechs exclusively for the past 6 years.

Here's what I need..100 grains preferably..but depending on my arrow spine, I could go down to 85 grains if need be.

I want at least 3 blades cutting, and 4 is just fine and dandy...trocar/chisel tip style or cut to the tip. I would prefer at least 1" cut for 4 blades, and 1 & 1/8" cut for 3 blades. I want scary bloodtrails (who doesn't?), and scary sharp blades.

I have my own thoughts, but I'm asking y'all to convince me why your choice in a fixed blade broadhead is the best.

Have fun with it

Thanx!
