RE: what broadhead to use
A lot depends on your setup and what you want to accomplish as far as broadhead performance. Check out my website and read through the free pages. There are a lot of good choices. Just make sure you tune your bow, use enough fletch to control the arrow and pick a head that matches your setup.

RE: what broadhead to use
If you can get (or have someone else do it) yourbow tuned right, I would recommend going with a fixed head - like the Montec, Hellrazor, Muzzy, or Slick Trick. A lot less things to go wrong. Good track record - reliable under even extreme conditions. A lot of folks who shoot expandables are not able to get their bows tuned properly, so they hit the "EASY" button - and the expandables generally fly just like field points. Some of them are real efficient killers under ideal conditions, but applying the KISS principle the fixed heads have the edge.
Having said that, I am playing with the Rage two blade heads right now. Used one a mule deer a few days back and was very favorably impressed. I would like to test drive them on a few more medium big game animals before making any rash endorsements. And I'm still convinced that for bigger meaner stuff -like elk, bear, and moose; it would take a lot of convincing to screw on anything but a fixed head. Some of the best archers I know swear by the G5 Montec screwed to an Easton Axis shaft - use 'em on everything.

RE: what broadhead to use
I was looking to use a new broadhead this yr and after reading some of Rob Pa/bowyer`s post about the Rocky Mt sniperi thought i would give them a try?
Without a daubt these things are one of the best broadheads i have ever used. 4 shots, 4 dead deer, 2 bucks, 2 doe`s, All passthrews with one heck of a entry hole! And the bloodtrails are unreal.
You can also checkout 5-shots review on the 2-blade sniper. You will see there very good heads!
