I have tested a good many mechanicals and their are some great ones floating around. The rocky snyper is an excellent head as are the rocket steelheads. If you don' t mind shooting a 125 grn head, the steelhead 125 is one of the best broadheads I have ever tested, fixed or mechanical. It penetrates like a fixed blade head, is very durable, and shoots great. The 100 grn version is also very good, but not as tough. The Rocky snyper penetrates as well as the steelheads and has stronger blades, but the ferrule is not as strong. I think you would be happy with any of these three heads. Of course their are others, but these will give you mechancial accuracy with fixed blade penetration.

I shoot a similar set up ,same arrows currently. There are a lot of good broadheads ot there. I like Spitfire 3 blade 100' s the best out of all the expandables I' ve tried. They shoot great even at 308 fps ,they' re the sharpest out of the package of any I' ve tried,I like their no o-ring system, I' ve never had one get damaged or break a blade, they penetrate excellently,they give you an awesome bloodtrail with good shot placement,the blades are easy to replace, and you just need to see the exit hole they make with their off set blades. Quality broadheads are kind of a personal preference though, because all will do a good job with correct shot placement. I can' t wait to check out NAP' s new Scorpion mechanical,it looks pretty interesting.

Shockwaves here also I have used them for the past couple of years and have never had a deer run out of my sight and this year I took 6 with them.

I' ve taken three deer with NAP Spitfires, 85 gr. I like them too because there are no o-rings and they do fly like field points.

used both the shockwave and the sidewinder.sidewinder has more punch.shockwaves are more durable.both are excellent heads.

Several good models out there. The Rocket Steelheads are very good and so are the hammerheads if you shoot enough KE. I also really like the Rocky Mountain Snyper & the new Ironhead XP they make - both are simply awsome heads. I think another good head appears to be the new Scorpian by NAP - (slight copy cat off of the snyper with the tip). I hope it opens easier than the Spitfires which Iam not a big fan of at all.

Honestly most companies have really improved their products and most are good. try a few models out & see what they do for you. You may find a perfect head for your rig that hasn' t been mentioned yet.

Like 5 shot said, Rockets are the ones, and the 100gr steel heads are the ones I went with. They pass through deer like a hot knife through butter!!!
