Default Need help with Broadhead Choice

OK, I am shooting my 101st with the G5 Stryker 100gr Broadhead. This bow is set up with Fixed Pins and is used as my elk hunting set up.

Now I have the General, which I am using the Full Metal Jacket 340 and shooting G5 Striker100 grain heads. I have been thinking about what broadhead to shoot, as this bow is my whitetail set up. Thinking about expandables, but not sure..

Help and your suggestions, experiences are appreciated.

i have shot Hellrazor for the last 2 years and brought down numerous deer. im a little weary of using a mechanical broadhead heard too many bad outcomes.

The only one I'd avoid is the G5 Tekkan. I've read nothing but bad news about that head.

I picked Rage since you said you were leaning toward a mechanical head. Spitfires are good too but I'd give the slight edge to Rage.

they just redesigned the G5 Tekan, 1.5" cutting diameter now

That said I shoot either Montecs or Hellrazors
I'm leaning towards the hellrazors this year.

I voted G5 Strikers because it's the best head of those you have listed.

rage or strikers....i have not yet had a full pass threw with rage, but blood trails are huge...strikers will never get stuck you could go threw 2 deer with strikers and get average-great blood trails....bothvery accurate..IMO
