well 100g is the most common weight by far. i shoot anywere from a 75g head to 180 grain head. the normal hunting arrow i shoot is tipped with, a montec 125g head. i like them because they are solid hit hard won't lose or break blades off "very easy ;)" and they shoot like my field points. there are lots of good ones out there. shuttle t's are good-striker-innerloc etc

Magnus Buzzcut four blade in 125gr.  Complete pass through on whitetail, Mulie, Bear, and Elk.  Great blood trail, although none of the animals I've shot with this broadhead have gone farther than 30 yards.  The last Elk I shot took three steps, stood there a few seconds and tehn fell over in his tracks.  i shoot my bow at 76 pounds, so this is the primary reason I use the heavier version.  if you use the right spine shafts, I think it stabilizes the arrow faster too.  These also shoot the same point of impact as my field points.

Good luck, Ed

I am shooting the F-15's this year.  They fly exactly like my field points and have the extra bleeder blades.

I'm using 100gr SaberMax. http://www.ospsabermaxx.com/archery.asp

Flies the same as field points and leaves one hell of a bloodtrail...a short bloodtrail! ;)

The best broadhead out there is the one that you practice with and 1) flies well with your setup and 2) is sharper than hell to make a clean humane kill.  Having said that I've gotten good results with Triton Wac'em's, Shuttle T-Locks, and my current broadheads NAP Hell Razors.  There are a ton of good broadheads out there, make sure you keep those broadheads sharp!

I like my wac'ems in 85 grain.  They fly good when tuned.  Just picked up a dozen 85 grain slick tricks I haven't shot them yet.  The best flying broadhead that I've ever shot would have to be my old 75 grain rockets

With so many choices and styles, you have a lot to consider.  Just make sure you find one that you shoot well and have confidence in.  In my opinion, Wasp makes some of the best for the money (30$ for 6 pack).  They come razor sharp, tough as any replaceable blade head I've seen, and fly great.  You also can't go wrong with Muzzys.  They're a little more expensive than Wasp, but same characteristics and, as a bonus, you can find them at just about any store that sells anything archery related.  This year, however, I'll be shooting Steelforce Phatheads.  They are a small, cut on contact two blade with bleeders that fly perfect for me.  They also only cost about 25$ for 3.  These things are built like tanks and should slice through an elk like butter.  
I wouldn't have a problem using any head mentioned in this thread (except for the Sabermax, you better have a lot of kinetic energy).

This year I'm using the slick trick magnums in 125 grains. My wife is using slick trick mags in 100 grains. They are tough as hell, super sharp and sly like field points. Couldn't ask from more.

4th the Slick Trick. I like the 125 mag for a couple reasons. First, penetration. C'mon who doesnt like that  :chuckle: Just a few more ftlbs if you hit bone or get lucky and stick a bruiser, you'll be glad you had it. I'll trade a few FPS for penetration and accuracy any day. 2nd I like the 1 1/8 cutting surface. Good blood is a must in thick country or rain, never leave your controlables to chance. On todays fast bows your shot group opens up ever so slightly 20-60 yards with 100 to 125grs but personally I like my sights slightly further apart...makes acquiring your target and pin in the field a little easier. Lastly they fly like field tips. I dont need to spend days practicing and tuning my arrows to ensure good flight. I screw them in, two shots each to check balance, place them in order of accuracy and flight in my quiver and good to go. If you want to practice with them the blades are easy to replace and the heads tough enough to withstand some shooting and not loose edge. Freekin' darts. Last year I shot a deer quartering away. ribcage, lung, heart and shattered the leading front leg. Ive gone Thunderhead first three years, Muzzy next two years and Slicks three years now-LOVE em.
