what broadheads do you guys prefer?
 
I am 15 years old and have been using a crossbow the last 2 seasons with expandables. I got a Parker Buck Hunter XP compound bow for christmas and was wandering if i should go expandables with the bow or go fixed. I have taken 3 deer with my crossbow with the expandable broadheads and seem to have no issuesbut i would appreciate it if you guys would tell me what type broadheads you prefer to deer hunt with.

Expandibles = NAP Spitfire 125's
Fixed = Magnus Snuffer SS 125
Both used in my compounds and XBow
I have never had any problem with them, and I will continue to use them as long as they make them.

I used muzzy 3 blade 100 grain one time, I shot a doe at 8 feet with one and it didn't even go in all the way, I shot her right behind the right shoulder and I looked for her for 8 hours, no blood or hair. I went and bought some expandables the very same day and shot a doe the next day with them and the deer dropped within 30 yards I had blood spray 5 feet off the ground all over the trees, and I have never lost a deer with expandables.

You can get a three pack of Eastman or Allen expandables for 10 bucks to 20 bucks at Walmart.

Young Deer Hunter, I played a bit on Archer's Advantage (a software program that helps determine arrow spine, weight, speed, etc.). I'm getting about 46.5-47lb of kinetic energy for your setup with a 350 grain arrow. Of course, this is just an educated guess. But, I've found AA to be pretty accurate.
Assuming your going after whitetail, I see no problem in you using a smaller mechanical like the Innerloc EXP 2 blade, Rocky Mt. Snyper, or Rocket Steelhead. Fixed blade, any quality head will do. Everyone has their favorites.:)

100 grain on either one:

3 blade muzzy
or
2 blade rage
