Default Widest fixed blade broad head?

So I was doing some research this morning and didn't get great results as I didnt have much time, but got to thinking....

We all know the Rage has a large cutting diameter....but it's mechanical...

What are some of the larger 100gr fixed heads? 1 1/8" Seems to be about the industry standard. I may be missing the obvious...as it does happen more than I care to remember.

I have some that Kanga gave me that are a 2 blade COC called Outback XL. They are 1 1/2" and tough as nails. The ones I have are 125gr. I plan to use them for turkeys. I may also resight my bow and try them on deer later in the season.

I believe the widest fixed blade is the G5 striker magnum, at 1.5 inches. Never used it but i dont see how they could fly very well.

My buddy uses the Wac em XL 100 and they have a cutting diameter of 1.25. They fly great out of his setup until about 40 yrds then start to plane out a little.

The 3 blade Magnus Snuffers range from 1 4/16 to a little over 1 1/2. Depends on how heavy of a Snuffer you choose.

The largest diameter I know of is G5 magnum but the most actual cutting ability I know of is the Grizz Tricks at 1.25" four blades for a total of 2.5 inches of cut.

How can 1-1/4" cut 2-1/2"? Does it lay out upon entry?

What's the largest swath it's gonna cut? 1-1/4". Miss a blood vessel or vital organ by 1/4" and you missed it, period.

G5 Stiker XL is 1 1/2" and that is pretty impressive sitting on the end of the arrow. A big expandable doesn't look as menacing because they are folded up, but, man, you put 1 1/2" fixed head on there, and that is scary!
