Default What is the best mechanical broadhead?

I have used the Rocket Aeroheads for a few years and was impressed. Shot two turkeys this year and lost them. shot a doe and lost it too. I tracked the deer for 1/2 mile then she quit bleeding. What is the best broadhead for each of these? Is there any improvement or did I just get out of the Vitals?[&:]

I'm a huge fan of Rocket's as well - Sidewinders to be exact. There are many good mechanicals on the market. If you aren't confident in your set-up, try a few others to see what you like.

But the bottom line is shot placement......mechanical or fixed.

Also, you may get more response if you place this in the archery or Bowhunting Gear section.

If I had to pick my personal favorite then it would definitely be the Rocket Steelhead 100. Though it does not necessarily offer the larger cutting diameter that some folks are after it more than makes up for that with its penetration capability and overall durability.

I have tried many of the other Rocket models with good results...and currently use the Hammerhead almost exclusively. Ofcourse, there are other heads from other companies such as the Rocky Mountain Revolution and Snyper, NAP Shockwave, etc... that are also very good mechanical heads.

....you do, ofcourse, need to have sufficient KE and a properly tuned setup in order to use them though.
