I have to put a vote in for Rocket Arrowheads...Steelhead 100 grain. Field point acurate and just crush deer!

What ever you are most accurate with...not hard to kill a deer if your shot is correct!

I ended up getting rage hypodermics love the design of them. They look like they will do very well. The tip on them is great can't wait to try them on a deer

Well good luck with your choice. I would have told you that if you're shooting less than 50# to go with a cut on contact BH.

SHWACKER!!!! IM A SHWACKER FAN, WON'T CHANGE ANYTIME SOON! Haven't lost 1 deer with them, they've never failed- were as I've had other broad heads fail, (killzones, T3, and the all Famous RAGE) The rage didn't open on a Giant! I lung shot him, he ran 30 yards in some thick stuff, heard him crash, wen't in 2 hours later and he was just laying there looking at me, I went to back out and he got up and ran and never looked back, I have the shot on film, Perfect broadside behind the shoulder 1/2 the way up the body, just perfect, I dont get it! Still makes me upset to this day. !!! So here we are SHWACKER ALL THE WAY!!!!

You more than likely hit only one lung and missed the opposite side. I personally shoot 100grn GrimReaper RazorCut, 1-3/8ths cut.

I shot Grim Reapers for 3 years with no complaints, but I decided to try the Rage 2 blades and decided to stick with them. They both do the job just fine.

I'm sure all these broadheads mentioned are good. I have been using Spitfire 100's for over 10 years and have had great success with them. Have never had one fail. I've shot two deer with the same broadhead many times. Just clean and sharpen.
