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.

what poundage is your bow set at? draw length? etc.

also, welcome to the forums, im 15 also.

Expandables-Rage 3 blade

Fixed-Muzzy 3 blade

Both 100 grain

53 lb draw weight and 29 inch draw length

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.

id go with fixed. try muzzys or slick tricks.

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
