Good job on the tracking bzz! We'll be looking forward to seeing the pictures.

Broadheads . . .if you want to stick to the fixed blades, then I'd suggest getting some Slick Tricks. If you want to try some medchanicals, then I'll suggest the Trophy Ridge Hammerheads. Both come in a 100 grain, so there would match your current set-up and these broadheads have more cutting surface which normally make for a shorter tracking job. I also found them to be more consistant than the Wasps.
