Thanks in advance for your responses. I have alot to learn.
This January, I bought a used SQ2 + accesesories including 5 wasp sst and 2 mechanical heads of some sort. I am currently shooting 50# but plan on shooting 55# by season. I want a low-maintanance broadhead that doesn't need sharpening that fits my set-up.
All of the sst's have been shot into dirt, deer, or both and have very dull blades. 2 of the sst's have tips in sharp condition and the other 3 tips are slightly dented or slightly bent at the point.
Should I save some $$ and get some replacement blades for the wasp's (I could not find replacement tips available.) or do something different?

I think you should buy some muzzys. They are a proven head and replacement blades are available anywhere. Buy some feild points for practice. they wont tear up you target as bad and you'll come out a whole lot cheaper. Welcome to the board. You'll find a lot of great people here with a lot of good advice.

Welcome to the board. I second the Muzzy suggestion. If you want a scary sharp broadhead that will stay sharp check out the Magnus Stingers. I bought a pack of 100 grain 2 blade Magnus Stingers and wondered how when I turned the package over they did not cut the plastic and fall out. The Stingers are SHARP!

I also say MUZZYS, tree blades. I use them, my old man uses them and they work, no bull. Just make sure ya get them in straight (have some one spine your arrows) they can fly alittle on the crazy side. 100 grain.

A friend of mine has been succesfully using muzzys for years as well. For some reason, he says he's getting grim reapers this season.
I think my set up is borderline poundage for shooting some of the mechanicals. I was considering the replacable blade muzzy, slick trick, wasp... heads.
It sounds like muzzy has a long history of good heads and considerable loyalty.
Thanks guys. This seems like a good group on this board.

I suggest you go to my website and check out all the free pages. It will offer you a lot of help in picking the right head as well as tuning your setup.

Thats a nice site you have there. Never been there before today--I use the Muzzy 3 blade (which seems to be fairly common around here) and never had any type of problem with them. I've also used the Crimson Talons, while they made a nice blood trail, and a flew straight, the blades were too flimsy and would dull very easily.
Thanks again for posting that link--I found it to be very useful.

I discovered your site the a week ago. Good stuff.
Going by your site only, I would choose the NAP nitron. Accuracy is important because I can't guarantee my bow is perfectly tuned, and I'm not real confident I can do it correctly by myself (even with step by step instructions). I also want a super sharp broadhead so I don't have to sharpen.
Have any heads shot so well that you considered switching from old faithfull (muzzy)?
