I like my Muzzy MX-3's. If you can, I would suggest trying to borrow some broadheads and see if one works better than others for your setup. This is, of course, after tuning your arrows carefully.

Disclaimer: Mechanicals are illegal in WA
having said that, two seasons ago i was hunting in a mechanicals are legal location and the guy i was hunting with had a set of 3 blade rage heads, we put a sneak on a doe and he pin wheeled her, i have never in my life seen a blood trail that prominent or see an arrow stuck deer die so quickly it was impressive the wound holes were HUGE and made me a believer in mechanicals
Now mechanicals being illegal in WA rules them out
Ive shot deer with cabelas FX3's, muzzy's and even (dare i say it knowing BH45's stance and everyones opinion) Wasp boss bullets. the FX3's are junk in my opinion had two have blades fall out in the quiver and yes they were put together properly, the muzzy's did just as advertised and even the wasp boss bullets killed a deer dead. the wasp required the least amount of tuning in my set up practically same as field points.
best advice i would give is shoot a few and see which fly the best for you out of your set up and make sure they are sharp

It's all about shot placement no matter what head you use. I've killed deer quick over the years. When I last hunted 7 years ago I was using Thunder heads. I'm going to use Magnus Snuffer broadheads in 100gr.

ive went through a few broadheads in my short archery career.grizz tricks fly well out of a well tuned bow but i have yet to kill anything with one.shuttle ts are the best flying quietest broadhead i have personally shot.
the only experience i have with mech heads is last week i went n grabbed 2 packs of ulmer edges for turkey season and i could only get one to spin true so i decided on my trusted shuttle ts and phatheads

Wac'em just sent me a pile to test and hunt with this year...the new four blade "EXIT". I am a lifelong NAP guy (Thunderhead line, Nitron 100), but tested the Muzzy MX-3 and MX-4 last two years - all GREAT products. Don't overlook Shuttle-T's either!

I use Zwickey eskilites, 6pack costs less than 3 of almost anything else, but my old Martin only gets up to about 265 fps.
