Depends on your personal opionions on fixed or expandable. But there is alot of great broadheads out ofr each type.

Expandable:
Rockets
Deadheads
Wasp
All very good expandables
Fixed
Muzzy
Crimson Talons (new 1's look awsome)
Rocky mt

These are just to name a few. With what little I can know of your set up I would prolly recomend a fixed bladed broadhead under 100gr. Just my opionion doesn't mean it will be best for you.

crimson talons. packs a punch and creates a wound channel that will not close up therefore if you have to track him he will be bleeding good but usually they drop quick.

I hunted with muzzy's for years. My freind uses thunderheads. I bought them a few years ago and they have been great. Now if I would only start shooting deer again instead of being lazy.

Up to last year I was shooting a Browning Tornado with the 125gr Montec tipped xx75s, on a quarting away 30 yard shot, the XX75 went right through the opposite shoulder and eight inches into the ground.
I have changed bows this year, went to carbon arrows, but I still shoot Montecs, but they are now 100gr.
Once you get them home from the store, it wouldn't hurt to put a sharper edge on them, they aren't exactly razor sharp right out of the box.
