I know I preach the fixed heads a lot, and do like them. I went out shooting today and it was windy! I was double checking my POI with the NAP Thunderheads, and they were drifting all over the place. I have several 125 grain Killzones so decided to try them parallel to field points out to 30 yards and they were within 1/2" or better. That is what I'm using this fall with the Axe.
More to come hopefully with pictures.

Re: Switching Broadheads
I shot thunderheads for years but always seemed to have sparce boodtrails. A couple years ago I got a good deal on some 125 rages and decided to try them. So far every animal I have killed with them has not gone far and the blood trails have been unbelievable. So I switched broadheads also.
Re: Switching Broadheads
Joe the Lazer Strikes fly great also, I have several of them as well.

That is an excellent comparison. I'd stick with them for sure.xcaliber wrote: ↑Fri Oct 11, 2019 8:06 pmI know I preach the fixed heads a lot, and do like them.

I used to hunt with expandables but when one of them did not open and I watched an arrow go right through where I aimed but did not open, well, now I don't used the mechanical heads any more.
Keep smiling!

Re: Switching Broadheads
I'm going against the grain myself by choosing to go this route, but after several shots into an 18-1 target i have complete confidence in these hitting where I aim, and staying closed until they hit the intended target. There are now three that i have proven to myself that work as needed. I will not shame anyone's favorite because I imagine they too have done their do diligence to verify that their choice is going to work. These three are as follows and my list is my list. If I didn't mention your favorite it's probably because i haven't tried it, or don't wish to. Again, no slamming.
1. NAP Killzone
2. Cabelas Lazer Strike ll Crossbow, which is the same head with larger O-Rings
3. NAP Shockwave Crossbow, which is the same head with larger O-Rings
Edited to include Cabelas Heads, and that the O-Rings are not larger, they are thicker. Same I.D. thicker rubber.
