I would say one of the best arrow - broadhead combinations would be: Easton A/C Superslim 400's with a 100 gr. Montec by G5 Outdoors... It has worked great for me over the past 3 years and has even went through 2 front shoulders on big bulls!

I've shot Goldtip external component carbon arrows since they came out, and have never had a reason to change. The last 3 years have killed elk with them tipped with 125gr Sonic broadheads. Prior to that my Goldtips were all tipped with Thunderheads.

I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.

I could do this all day!
Easton Axis
Beman MFX
Slick Trick
Wackem Exit
Gold Tip And Carbon Express,
usually] are too light for washington legal limit. And adding 125 grain broadheads ifluences the spine of the arrow resulting in a weakened arrow.

I shoot Easton St. Epic with 100 grain Muzzy 3 blades. The total arrow weight is about 432 grains. To be legal in Washington I need 420 +/- a little. I pull about 70-71lbs. I have been thinking of trying a slightly lighter arrow to get my weight down to 420. This is just to shoot a flatter flying arrow for longer shots. Misjudging distance is probably one of the bigger mistakes people make. A flatter arrow will eliminate some of the possible problems IMO.

What you currently have will be fine. If you come up with a reason to change then several of the choices above might be good. Its important to match the arrow/broadhead set up with your bow and game.
whats the draw weight? hunting just deer or deer+elk+bear?
I use a Easton Axis with wraps and blazer veins with Thunderhead 125's. With the broadheads... with most of the major brands the broadhead will work fine if its matched to the arrow weight and stiffness and you keep a virgin blade on them (never touched a target or animal before - unless its a resharpen style like the G5 thats super sharp)
I like arrows with near target arrow quality straightness... like .003 or less but thats really not an absolute rule.

As long as you can hit what you are aiming at and your broadheads are razor sharp. There will be no problem unless you take a marginal shot. Personnaly, I've been shooting goldtip xt arrows for the last handful of years. I'm very happy with them.

Gold Tip XT Hunters and 125 grain Shuttle T's seem to work pretty well for me. The Shuttle T's did not fly "just like practice points" as advertised, but still shoot well and do a number on animals.

Easton Axis 340's with magnus stinger buzzcut's with bleeder blades or the Montec G5's. Those two broadheads flew the closest to a field point that I have ever shot and there was no tuning or adjusting sites necessary.
