What broadhead do you use ?

[Dash]

I don't want to start a debate on Mechanical versus Fixed blade here !
But it would be interesting to see a survey of what each individual excalibur hunter prefers, and thier main reason why.
List the brand, weight, and what creature you hunt with it (We don't all shoot just deer) . Also your main reason for sticking with this broadhead.
Cheers...
For Feral Goats, Pigs, or larger etc I bought 150 grain boltcutters. I've got to be honest....... The main reason was price, because most broadheads can cost up to double in australia. They had a good deal on ebay, and from other users comments they seemed like a good starting point.
For small game, I use 150grain Varmit busters. Instant kills with the equinox, fly exactly the same as my feild point, and super tough (Reusable).

100g grizz tricks out of the Y25. Deer mostly. A pretty decent b/head but fragil. They almost never come out of a ribcage in one peice or if they do its damaged beyond repair. Accuracy makes up for that though because i dont typically reuse broadheads.

I have also used the boltcutters. They shoot great but I lost most of them due to inserts that would'nt stay in so I never had one do the ribcage test.

When I first bought my first excal it came with the boss wasp. I didnt care for that head.

I use NAP Spitfire 100 gr Deer & Hogs, i also use Magnus Snuffer 125 gr Deer & Hogs. Spitfire is mech. Snuffer is coc, they're both tuff & well made & cut from a**hole to appetite, Heck you gotta love a great BH!

Slick trick standard 125grain!! I would be more then happy to shoot a big bull with on of these. Fly great and i have been through maybe 5 or more packs last year, every one was consistant. Replacement blades were also consistant.
I get mine for $37 a pack of 3. I also found the slick tricks flew the same as VB's, just hit lower.

If you havent seen this site dash then check it out. It has some great things on it including afew BH tests. http://www.cacciaebalestra.altervista.o ... Main0.html

Slick tricks 100s 4 blades for the xbow
muzzy 100s 4 blades for the compound ..much cheaper than slick tricks but fly about the same

I switched to the 2 blade Rage this year and really like it.
I have some older fixed blade Wasps that I plan to use for small game but haven't use them yet.

[masboy]

muzzy 4 blade fan shot them from reg bow a lot .but have not killed deer with them in crossbow yet.killed all deer this year with boltcutters none went far but not much blood.both fly super accurate and spin great. muzzys half price of most broadheads hear. you get 6 in pack for the price of 3 in most.

G5 montecs 100 g now I bought some 125g.

They fly great and are fool proof. Easy to resharpen!

[Normous]

Rage 3 for the past 3 seasons. They work very well for me.

[WTB]

Vortex w/FFF
Firebolts

Whitetail,Turkey

125gr Vortex Pro-Extreme

Because of the terrain where I hunt, it is imperative that the blood trail be Consistant and Heavy. A pass-through shot is needed for this to happen.

The Vortexes had a great season this year. (5) Five shots and (5)Five Dear. The longest recovery was 50 yards.The shortest recovery was 13 yards. All "pass-throughs".

There are several mech. BHs that have similar design with only minor differences. The "minor" differences,between the Vortex and others, based on my feild experience are "MAJOR".

The Pro-Extreme is highly aerodynamic and fly "reeeeaaaaallllll" close to FT

I will be able to set my Vortex up to be sighted in with both the 125gr Vortex and the 150gr Boltcutter (for special application)

Great Broad Head and great Company. I had the pleasure to speak with the owner. He is an avid XBower.

For deer I use 125 gr G5 Montecs on my Exocet 200. Like Hikerman says they fly great and are easy to resharpen. For bunnies I use 125 gr judo points

[georgiaboy]

I'm shooting 100gr spitfires out of my ibex.
I hunt deer,hogs and the occasional coyote that wanders under my stand !
I guess you could say I'm lazy...but I don't like sighting in my bow twice,that's why I stick with mechs. !!!
I have tried other mechs ...but the spitfires are just so damn reliable...and they leave a pretty good bloodtrail too !!!

[toytruck]

Anybody try the Excalibur Xact mechanical BH on deer?

[gerald strine]

Equinox/ Firebolts with aluminum insert / 175 gr slick trick for deer.
I went with this head because I wanted the high F.O.C it offers it is a 4 blade and is a larger cut than the bolt cutters.
This is a very tuff head that can deal with bone and flies the same as my field tips.
I killed 2 bucks with them this year and put one through a scapula on the exit side on one of the deer this year, the bolt shattered but the B.H. went through the shoulder bone for a pass through.

I shoot Muzzys 125 grain 3 blade. I hunt whitetail and pig. They fly great for me and. You get 6 broadheads for the price that most sell 3 broadheads brands for. Im shooting a Vortex.
