I shoot a 100gr thunderherad really sharp and really good flys strate also.

I shoot 125 gr muzzy broadhead from a crossbow. I choose 125gr because crossbow arrows are very light and they tend to not penetrate well with lighter braodheads. So to get maximum penetration heavier broadheads are needed. But with compunds I choose 75gr since the arrows are much heavier. Just my .02

After seeing the results of this years hunt and plenty of reading and research.
I have gone to cut on contact for both of my recurves.
Muzzy 4 blade Phantom for the Red Wing hunter at 50#.
Magnus Stinger w/bleeder for the Bear Super Kodiak at 60#.

In the compounds I have gone back, again, to carbon arrows.
G/T XT Camo Hunters with the Steel Force Venom, 3 blade cut on contact, for the Martin Slayr at 60#.
For the Martin Phantom at 65#. Beman Black Max with the NAP Nitron.

I'm Liking these little Nitron heads. They fit these skinny HIT shafts like a good glove. A friend shot a couple of the Axis shafts with nitron heads into a concrete wall at 65#. There was no damage to the shaft. The nitron head was still intact and usable.

im from Maine and am 16, i have been hunting deer with a bow since i was 10, i have currently got around 25 deer under expanded archery zones, i have used multiple broadheads, i was using a Bowtech Extremem VFT this year at 70 lbs. and the best working broadheads that i had were silver tip 100 grain broadheads, like everyone says, the muzzy's have worked perfect but i like something thast had a bigger cutting diameter.... when groundhunting i like to use the muzzy or cut on contact stinger 4 blade broadheads for specifically aiming for the shoulder and blowing through it, the muzzy has phenominal penetration power also the cut on contacts... treestand hunting i like to use the expandables for a more hard hitting and open hole at the bottom for best possible blood trail or also aim for the shoulder and bust through it, this winter i bought a Bowtech Tribute at 80 lbs. and new montech broadheads, i have heard nothing but good news about them and am planning on putting a couple through the shoulder... they are 100 gr and what i like about them is you can easily resharpen them on a flat stone... anything will work as long as you hit where you are aiming... the only broadhead i would not recommend is thunderhead 3 blade 100 gr. they consistently hit low and to the right no matter what i do to tune the bow, everything else has shot like a dart
