mechanical vs. fixed

[liftedfred1]

Just bought me a 2010 bear strike bow this weekend.  Just starting to bow hunt.  What would anyone recommend for a broadhead?

[Pathfinder101]

Montec G5s.

Just be careful and read the regs.  Mechanical broadheads are not legal in this state for big game, the fixed blade that I like is the Shuttle T-lock.  I believe that there was even some controversy about the Shuttle t's but it was found that they are legal.  Good luck.

Yep illegal for big game.  Go with G5s

 What would anyone recommend for a fixed broadhead?  I always used a rage expandable back home.  But apparently they illegal here.

I like the NAP Hellrazors.

i prefer the magnus snuffer ss or any magnus for that matter you will prob get as many answers as there is fixed heads slick trick and montecs are also great heads imo the flight and durability sold me on the magnus and the warranty isnt to bad either

Slicktrick standards

[carpsniperg2]

another for g5 montecs, solid/sharp/accurate "shoot the same as my field points" no tuning

no mechanicals, not legal. love the rage wish we could use them here.

my wac'ems worked good for me last year.  I just got a dozen new arrows with sonics on them last week.  I will have 12 sonics and 15 wac'ems on arrows and ready to shoot when hunting season comes

Magnus' 2-Bladed Stingers. orient them with the blades up and down if you are using a mechanical release (I presume you are if you bought one of the new Bears).

They are inexpensive on EBay, strongly constructed, have a lifetime warranty, a good cutting angle for weight and are quiet in flight. The only drawback is they aren't "the latest". They are accurate killers though.

Before you get involved in broadheads, make sure you have properly spined shafts for your draw weight and arrow length. Otherwise you will pull hair like you can't believe trying to get any of them to fly properly.

2 inch Blazer vanes, helical fletched work very well for me.

I'll add a vote for the Slick Tricks, switched to them about two years ago and have been extremely impressed with them,

[let.it.fly]

slick trick mags for me. very strong head and they fly straight.

I love sonic heads, but I heard limbsaver bought sonic and made them 2x the price
