I recently got my first compound bow (gift from my fiancé, lucky me!!!). I just took it to the archery shop and got it tuned and set up for me, and am ready to start practicing with it tomorrow.
He told me I should get 125 grain broad heads, Ive looked online and it seems that the selection is slightly limited. Also, I saw that there are some that say they are specific to crossbows. My questions are: Does it matter if its crossbow specific, if I'm shooting a compound?
What would you guys recommend?
Thanks in advance! What's your setup? It will depend on that. I shoot a 390 grain arrow out of a Hoyt Carbon Spyder set on 28" and 70 lbs. I shoot Rage Extreme and NAP Killzone Maxx and I get pass throughs like deer are butter. But if you shoot a low poundage or short draw you may want to stick with fixed heads. I like slick tricks if I'm gonna shoot fixed heads.

I have a Bear Encounter bow set at 60 pounds and 31" draw. Should be fine with any head as long as the bow is tuned. I love Rages, they've always been good to me.

I like muzzys because they come with practice blades. 100 gr should be plenty and will shoot flater then 125s with yr set up. Accuracy and placement are whats important. Good luck http://www.muzzy.com/

Academy sells a small fixed blade broadhead made by carbon express that I like a lot. I've killed several deer and hogs with them and I've never had any trouble out of them. Something like 3 heads for 10-15 Bucks
We will burn that bridge when we get there

With a 31" draw you will be perfectly fine with a 100gr. head.

For one broadhead though, I was impressed this season by the NAP Killzones. Other broadheads to mention: G5 Montecs, Rage Hypo, Magnus Buzzcuts, Rocket Sidewinders, Muzzy Trocar, Ramcats, Exodus (great broadhead btw) & Thunderhead Razor.
