Default mech broadheads

ok guys I was thinking of switching broad heads, I have used rocket steelheads for over 5 years and they did well for me I didnt minfd the rubber bands they always opend and preformed well. and yes the blades are nto as sharp as they could be but the replacement blades are decent..
To my question whats a good mech broadhead out there now, I know rage is hot but there are just as many bad stories as good, is there anything else, or is my best bet to go with slick tricks?? I am shooting a diamond black ice at 63 pounds, 27 1/4" arrow beaman ICS 400..

I tried some spitfires out of my crossbow and they shot like field points. I took them apart to put the practice blades in and I like the design. Seems pretty full proof. I think I'm gonna stick with fixed head though just to be sure. Going to get some slick tricks today.

The Rage head is hot because it's new, and you know how folks are about new stuff. I'd recommend going over to 5 shot's broadhead tests website and checking his reviews.

lots of people like the rage but have heard more than a few story of blades opening early so I'm not interested.

I've used spit fires for years now, I loved the two blade, but they did away with those. I've used the three blade for a few years with no problems as well. I've been thinking about giving rage broadheads a try.
