Anything new in fixed broadheads?

I hunted with Montec G5s last 2-3 seasons....I swore after last season I would switch so looking for some recommendations.

Last two bucks I've killed with Montecs were tough to find - both were pass-thru double lungs shots....one last year traveled 200+ yards and even climbed a small ravine before dropping. Only trace blood on the ground until I was within 50 yards of him (scary).

I've used Rage on hawgs before....had one that didn't open on impact and the O ring thing is just a pain but maybe I need to revisit the mechanicals.

A friend recommended 125gr Samurai broadheads from Alaskan Archery...they are really expensive but maybe well worth it considering I almost lost my last buck.

I use trophy taker shuttle t's in 100gr. They fly like field points, even out to 65+ yards and I've never had one break. A buddy turned me on to them, he has used them to kill everything from baboons to wildebeest and even a giraffe with the 100gr.

I do not trust expandable broadheads.. too much to go wrong.

NAP killzone... don't let rage be the reason you don't like expendables.. I was the same way for a good while.. your truly cutting yourself short if your still using a small 1/2inch fixed head

I switched this year a 125-grain Solid Broadhead. They are similar to the Alaskan Samurai mentioned previously and, though I haven't flung an arrow at a deer yet, found they fly much better than the G5's I used to shoot.

I started using Slick Trick Magnums a few years back and they are awesome, look at their reveiws anywhere and no one has anything bad to say about them

TWarren- i want to try those Solids so bad, you got to let me know how they work on what ever you shoot, im hoping to run out of Slick Tricks i stocked up on so i can finally buy some of those

ive been shooting slick tricks since 2003. very tough bh and if your bow is tuned they fly great. wac ems are another great bh that is also a very good bh.

If I were leaving Montecs, Slick Tricks would be my choice

Another good option I've had good success with are the QAD Exodus swept blades.
