Default New broadheads, they any good?

I just got some NAP thunderheads for Christmas, they look nice with a good cutting diameter, looks like the tip will penetrate bone easily. Any of you tried or heard anything of them?

Default I heard broadheads

are too hard to use, if you can't hit the broadside of a barn. Makes the shooting difficult.

They are a good broadhead with a pretty good following. Tune your bow, and they will take down whatever you feel like shooting.

I shoot the 100 gr. thunderheads and have no need to look any further.
You will be happy with them!

i used mechanicals, they are good. i have used fixed blades with smaller diameters and like an inch or inch and a quarter and they penetrate bone soooo much better than my 2 blade rage with a 2 inch cutting diameter

I bet I have shot dozens of deer with em. They are old school heads. Razor sharp, great penetration, but they are delicate. Not the best for straightness. I used them for 20 years.

I tried them, didnt like the way they shot, went to Muzzy next and have been shooting them for the last 18 years. Muzzy makes a great broadhead that shoots great, I never had the need to try anything else.
