my arras are 5grns lighter. here is what fits that billl fir me that i tested. slick trick mags 100 grn. g5 striker 100grn. exodus swept blade 125grn. and slick std 125grn. my favorite was the g5 shot higher then the rest for me. I also tested grimm reaper, swackers, g5 t3, all 100 grn oh and excal exacts. exacts and reapers hit same as fp at all distances. shot the reaper whitetail specials last fall and will again this year. but the strikers will be in my quiver as well.

I can hit a tennis ball sized target at 40 yards with my Matrix 355. I use 18" Easton 2219 aluminum shafts with 170 grain NAP Thunderhead broadheads. This gives me a total weight of 470 grains. I fletch my arrows with 2" Bohning Blazer vanes using the Arizona EZ fletcher.

I first tried Slick Trick 150 grain magnum broadheads, but they severely planed. I shipped them back to Slick Trick for a full refund.

125 grain 2 1/4 inch swhackers was what I shot and loved the pin point accuracy, Just didn't like that one of the 2 deer my son killed wasn't a pass through...I recon that happens but this year I am thinking about going to the 100 grain 1 3/4 or a fixed broadhead ...aint made my mind up yet. Plus I do feel if I had shot a fixed blade last year instead of a swhacker I would not have had the deflection when shooting through the mesh in the ground blind. Who knows ? I like to improve when ever possible but,I have learned in the archery world if its something that can go wrong it will .....even operator malfunction :lol:

Magnus stingers, magnus ss snuffers, and g5's, any weight to fit what weight you want to shoot, all fly true if you have a arrow that's built right, that's where it all starts.

GT's II w/blazers 110gr. brass insert with Rage group very good under 2 inches. W/Shackers about 2-3 inches .w/Slick tricks 2-3 inches W/ muzzys I have to sort them out pretty good to get under 3 inches . 2216's w/90gr. brass inserts group a little better with each broad head .but not much. this is at 40 yards.

NAP 100 grain Thunder Heads, Cabelas 100 grain Copper Heads, Slick Trick Viper Tricks, all group nice. I think most any these days will fit the bill.
