I dunno, a 28" 250 shaft at 55 pounds sounds a little light in the spine department to me. Could be why you're having difficulty with the Thunderheads?

Sounds like a job for a "mini" head like the SlickTricks.

Partsjay, let me make your search a short one. I've shot everything from Nitrons to to the cheapy's you can buy at walmart. All required fidgeting with this or that or to get to shoot properly. So I kept shooting mechanicals. I had sucess with mechanicals but doubt was always in my mind. SoI was looking for a fixed blade that didn't require me to be a bow guru to get to shoot good!

This year I picked up the new muzzy mx-4's 4 bladed 100 grain broadheads. FOR ME (qualifying statement!) These are the best out of the box, true flying, as accurate as field points, broadhead, out there. For 19$ for 3 including an additional practice set of blades, it's hard not to give them a shot. With the muzzy name you know you are dealing with quality for a good price. You can spend more, but for me, my mind is made up and I have more confidence going into this season then ever before!

i would go with NAP Crossfires, very durable, sharp, and they fly better than thunder heads.

I have used a whole gambit of heads.My favorite fixed heads are, Muzzy 3 blades, Sonic, and Slick trics. Mechanicals I like; Nap spit fire (I really like these), Nap shockwave, and steal heads. Those are my favorites. Another important consideration, Make sure your bow is well tunned, arrow is well tunned with the broad head of choice, and that you use the right cut diameter for the game you are after. I like to usesmall cut diameterfor thick skinned animals like hogs 1 1/8". I like a larger cut diameter for thinner skinned game like white tail1 1/4"+.

G5 Montec's for me. Not as sharp as others but I have never had a problem with penetration. I always have clean pass throughs. There is very little to no tuning for them to fly right.

They are good heads. I took three deer with them. All dropped within sight.
