Well I shoot the same arrow you do and I used shockwaves this year after not getting the performance out of game tracker expandebles earlier. I think I will shoot muzzy or Rcoky mountian snypers next year.

I usually use muzzys and shockwaves, but recently bought my first 6 pack of 125 grain thunderheads. Two of the six heads wobble on my arrows, while only 1 out of 2 dozen of my muzzys have wobbled. I'm not sure what it is with NAP, but one of my six shockwaves have wobbled also while I spun tested the arrow. I would sway towards muzzy for a couple of reasons now after seeing the thunderheads. I like the point on the muzzy's better, I like the way the broadheads seat in the muzzys better, and they seem to be manufactured better from what I have personally seen. Just my 2 cents.

Both are great heads, but in all my testing I still have not found anything better than Muzzy. I think you will like both heads, but the Muzzys are a lot easier to work with. Thunderheads are sharper. If you shoot thunderheads on carbon arrows make sure you use the Ubar's. the are an adaptor that makes the fit between small diameter arrows and the broadheads better. This helps the heas hold onto it's blade better.

I used a "powder puff setup" this year. I had a modest 58# bow, very light carbon arrows, and 90 grain muzzy 4 bladed broadheads.
It blasted through a 110 pound doe at 40+ yards and burried it's self into the graound on the other side. It put a HOLE in that deer! About the size of a quarter or nickle. The deer bled compleatly out before it died 80 yards from my stand. I used to only use thunderheads but I wasn't getting the bloodtrails that I wanted. They seem to fly better than the thunderheads.
My dad uses the same muzzy's I do. He's shot 2 deer in not so great places and found them all bled out and all. He made a texas heart shot one one doe and it died 40 yards away with a 3 foot wide bloodtrail. The muzzy's are my new #1 choice. 4 blades make a big hole, and they penetrate great because they are not so wide. I would use the 100 or 90 grain tips because the 125s are wider and won't penetrate as well with some setups.

5Shot's post and field research on broadheads speaks volumes and I concur on the Muzzy's.
