Wow... All I could suggest for a broadhead at that speed, would be Slick Tricks. Those little buggers fly dead on in any conditions no matter what bow or what speed.

The biggest response most people on here say is too tune your bow properly and any good broadhead will work. I started asking about mechanicals and the guys all told me to make sure everything is tuned and stick with my Muzzy's.

sonic broadheads, and wasp boss bullets work great for that speed. I had an allegiance and had it set up to shoot flat out to 37 yards with one pin with the wasp heads.

I'm shooting my Ally at 305 fps. I have Muzzy 100gr 3 blade and RM Snypers both hitting perfectly with my field points. It's not about the broadheads it's about having a well tuned bow with matched arrows. I'm doing this with ACC's fletched with offset Blazers. I've done the same with a Trykon shooting 291....

Mechanicals you wont have to worry about goign off target as much. When i shoot broad heads i just take off my field points and screw on my spitfires and hits the exact same.

Its true, as long as your bow is tuned you will get good arrow flight with any broadhead. But the new shorter furrell type broadheads are more forgiving when it comes to flaws in form, bow torgue, and things like that. I suggested the sonic heads and the boss bullets by wasp because they tend to be more forgiving. You can torque your grip just a bit and wont get a cork screw like you would say with a muzzy.

Ok, to answer your question specifically.......Here's my set up, and it weighs in at 368 grains....

Maxima 3D Select 250, wrapped and blazers. 100 gr. point....I'm a big fan of big cutting diameter, and Rocket Hammerheads fit that bill very well. Rage are also an awesome head.....

If you want a fixed blade head, Magnus Stingers are hard to beat. They fly PERFECTLY, even at blistering speeds. Also, they have a lifetime warranty.

Oh, and Rob? What's up w/ the Ally buddy?? 305??? Shoot, I'm gettin 310.....Out of that junk old Hoyt....:D:D:D

I take it the offset fletching helps rotate the arrow more and stabilize better? Rob, what's your rig set-up? You can PM it to me if you'd like.

I was getting 312 out of my ally with 360 grain arrow, 29 inch draw.

try grim reapers
I really like these heads....Killed a few deer with it this year, big cutting diameter, great blood trail, and quick recoveries....
However, before I killed these deer, I missed one. Reason being that I was shooting a 390 grain Maxima Hunter at 314 fps. I hadnt shot one to practice because I was told they fly just like a field tip. This is true, but at speeds like that, they open up in flight, then go crazy. I switched to a heavier arrow, and everything else was great.

Mac87, how fast are you shooting.....the guy at my bow shop said they will open up on you when you get to 305 or faster.

Yeha tha holding mechanism in the Grim reapers is nto as strong as others. Spitfires hold strong when shot at high speeds, or you could get band bound heads.

Here is a video of a broadhead test done. See what you think. I use the Rocky Mountain Snyper and it did really well in this competition. Use the advise you have been getting here and tune your bow to your broadheads and you wont be sorry.

That is a neat video. Everyones beloved muzzys didn't do the best.

Great test - although some of the heads that were damaged going through the plywood would, I'm sure, be very lethal on broadside rib shots through a deer. It's also interesting to see that most broadheads hit a little low from field points - even out of a perfectly tuned bow. All my bows do this to at least some degree. I've just kinda resigned myself to move the sight, right before big game hunting season, to put the field points about an inch high at 20 yards - and subsequently resulting in zero for the G5 Montec. Thanks for sharing . . . .
