Default broadhead question

I was wanting advice on which broadheads I should go with for deer. Like what brands and stuff do you guys recommend. This is only my second year bowhunting for deer and I know alot of you guys have been doing it for years so any kind of help in selecting broadheads is greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

jepcho, lots of good heads for deer applications. However for new archers 2 3 fixed blade Bh's come to my mind: muzzy or thunderheads. Most guys use 100 gr heads now, but 90-125gr will be just fine. I have used both and have been pleased with their performance, very easy to tune and will get the job done as long as the archer does his/her's!

I personally now use Steel ForcePremium 2 blade heads, while they perform awesome I am not sure if tuning would be as easy as the others stated. I had no problems when switching to this head from Muzzy but I also keep a tuned bow.

Best of Luck!!

As mentioned, there are alot of good quality choices in b-heads. Personally THE best heads that I've found are the Rocket Steelheads. These heads are the most accurate, hardest hitting, deepest penetrating b-heads I have EVER found. I've tried many dozens of different heads and nothing has compared to these little monsters!!! You've got to atleast take a serious look at 'em and see why many will suggest the same head. For the record, I've taken nearly 20 whitetail with the Steelheads and some of these bucks have exceeded 300# yet not ONE has taken more then 60 yards on me!!! That's an impressive track record if I do say so myself.

jepcho,
Let us know what kind of bow and arrows you shoot and how much draw weight you pull. This may make a difference what head to shoot.

Once a long time Muzzy shooter, I must toss may hat in the ring for the Rockets. I prefer the smaller offerings to enhance penetration. The 100 grain Steelhead would be my choice for an internal component shaft, although I use the Rocket Wolverine 3P on my pultruded carbons. The 3P weighs 75 grains, have an inch and 1/8 cutting diameter when deployed and fly like darts. A pultruded shaft uses an outsert, that weighs about 35 grains all by itself. Hanging a 75 grain head on that brings the total weight up to 110 grains. This gives my completed arrow great F.O.C. for magnificent flight properties. Better still, they blow through deer like shooting an air filled sack, taking ribs with them on the way in and out. All with only a 62 pound draw bow. They are tuff as nails and IMO just can't be beat.
