I am getting ahead of myself since I do not even have a Crossbow yet but want to know what everyone is shooting as far a Broadheads. I did a similiar post on another site and it ended up turning into a bashing so I do not want to do it here just want to get a feel what works and what does not.
In the end it is what I think will work best for me.
Also I had an idea to do a what other sites call a Broadhead swap. Swap a couple Broadheads with other members with what they have to see if the boardheads work for you and vise versa. Just a thought.
All I can say is that I've had very good luck with factory set up - firebolts and boltcutters. Would like to try some others and shoot at some longer ranges, just never have time to try this and that.
150 grain Slick Trick Crossbow tricks with Easton firebolts and aluminum insert. Plan on moving up to Black Eagle Executioner .001's with lock n load inserts and 100 or 125 grain Slick Trick mags for this year.
Here is a short list of BH's i have found worth huntin wid. Montec G5 & the Strikers. Nap Spitfire, Steelhead, Slicktrick Mags n Razor. Magnus Snuffers & Stingers. Excals X-act & Boltcutters & many more good ones out there
I switched this year from Spitfire Maxx/Edge. To the Ramcats I bought the 100gr BH and 125gr replacement blades. That gave me a fixed head with a 1.5" cut that flies dead with my field tips.

x2 on the g5's, been shooting them, really like them,very sturdy and sharp.
355 matrix, big johns arrows- zombieslayers, g5 montecs, strikers. Vortex big johns arrows- zombieslayers g5 montecs 125. Lumenoks.
Rage 100 grain 2 blade switching to the new Rage Hypodermic when they are released. Never had any issues with them opening prematurely or accuracy so I am sticking with them.
175 gr. slicktricks on firebolts refletched with 2" blazers using the ezfletch bolt tool. Very accurate at all ranges and reduce noise and vibration because of a heavier arrow, in this case close to 470 gr.

I use slicktrick mags. or WASP JAK-Hammers 1 3/4" cut that way if there is a shot a bit far back we still find the deer just have to wait an hour or 2. All the deer I ( my kids and I ) shot but 2 we have seen fall none have gone over 80 yrds. I have not let them shot at any over 30 yards I may have shot one at 35 but why push the shot we can and will have deer closer through out the year. Let them walk to hunt them another day .
