Default RE: best fixed head

im looking for the best fixed head that flys straight and goes with my field points. Is there such a head?
No. There is not a fixed broadhead available that flys "perfect" regardless of the setup/bow it is shot from. Others may recommend a BH that flys well from their particular setup, but there is no 'universal' BH that flys like field points for everyone.

All things being equal, a smaller cutting diameter should fly closer to field points. However, everyone that bowhunts needs to test-shoot a BH with their setup before taking it in the field/woods to hunt.

I've always numbered my arrow and broadheads. I then shoot the different combinations and find which fly closest to my field points. I then match up that particular BH and arrow for the life of each, using them only for hunting. The arrows I have trouble finding a BH match for I use for target practice and not for hunting. Despite a well tuned bow, I've found that fixed blades will rarely match up exactly with my field points.

There are many great fixed blade BH's available. Wasp, Muzzy, NAP, and Barrie Archery/Rocky Mountain are just a few. The only way to decide which flys best from you're bow/setup is to shoot them yourself.

Hope this gets you going in the right direction.
