WELCOME TO THE FORUM, FRANK!

I think you'll find that most any broad-head will fly acceptably with proper tuning, Frank. It all depends on how picky you are, and how much tweaking you're willing to do.

I've had good luck with the stock Wasps that come with the Right Stuff accessory package.

Muzzy 4-blade, WASP Boss and Rage 2 blades are fly the same as my field points out of my Exocet 200. I did have issue with bigger profile blades such as Thunderheads, they would start to plane after 20 yards. Any of the new low-profile blades should work well.

I've had great results w/ 100 gr Slick Tricks, but my Gt's have brass inserts which weigh about 80 gr more than aluminum. You might have better results w/ 125's.

I thought the Firebolts came w/ 150 gr points for higher FOC?

Welcome friend

I shot the 100grn G5 Montec last few seasons with great success.

If a person keeps at it they can make almost any hunting head fly well.

If you want "plug & play" do like Rich said and stick with the smaller hunting heads.

Be sure and use brass front inserts either way for enhanced broadhead performance.

is there any off the shelf arrows that come with brass?

i havent found anything that gives pinpoint grouping like the fieldtips as the rage 3blades. I havent tried the new model heads that came out this year yet, but so far rage are tops for me.

slick tricks work extremely well also if you like a fixed head, but I had to adjust my scope about an inch to the left for the bheads to hit dead center. Im picky though

wasp and muzzy are always good choices also

the boltcutters that come with the kit now are supposed to be pretty good

A smaller cutting diameter than others mentioned but with a one piece design I like the reliability of the Montec G5. Also shoots extremely well.
