RE: Broadheads?????
Try shooting one of these,
$29.99 for 3 at BassProShop.
They have great ratings. I shoot these myself. They do perform better than any others I have used.
Rocky Mountain® Gator XP™ Mechanical Broadheads

RE: Broadheads?????
The cheaper heads would be ok for shooting things that don't really matter,skunks,possums,tree rats,but I would go with more reputable brand for hunting game animals we plan on retrieving.Allen makes alot of components I've noticed but not sure they are class A stuff.Makes me think of AMF,remember they made bowling balls and Harley Davidson at same time and all were not worth a hoot!

RE: Broadheads?????
OK, so what do you guys consider cheap and just how many of those cheap heads have you personally tested? I still say it's more about how well you can tune the equipment. Cheap, meaning price has little to do with flight characteristics. It's design and tuning.

RE: Broadheads?????
IMO Slick Tricks are cheap ie inexpensive, (I think around $22 for 3) but they are very high quality. Muzzy's, Slick Tricks, Thunderheads are all excellent for the money.

RE: Broadheads?????
Man, you guys are crazy for paying over 5 dollars for a broadhead.
I have killed I bet dozens with thunderheads. I get them in the spring for less than 28/6.
I can't say I have had trouble with them.Back in the day, I used muzzy 3 blade, again with no issue. I think I used bear 20 years ago.
Another affordable killer is magnus. I can't say I have not seen them penetrate 100%.
The one bh I threw away was some of those cabelas expandables about 8 years ago. Someone gave me 6 and I used them for coupdegrace shots or fox. They messed up my insert and I couldn't deal with that.

RE: Broadheads?????
I am a big fan of the fixed blade broadheads, I have always shot old school NAP razorbacks, but this year I picked up some 100 grain muzzy MX4s at cabelas on sale I got a 3 pack for 19 bucks, then went back and they had them in a six pack for 34 oh well just like me a day late and a dollar short. I am very happy with them they are tough and fly just as good as my field points do, they dont call them bad to the bone for nothing. I had a pass through on a doe at about 35 yards and took chunks out of 2 ribs on the way through.
