jono23 OP 14 point Joined: Nov 2014 Posts: 8,032 Huntsville	I recently got my first compound bow (gift from my fianc�, 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!

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.

Accuracy and placement are whats important. Good luck http://www.muzzy.com/ Striper Steve; "Aim Small, Hit Small"

I really like muzzy mx3's, slick tricks, and grim reaper broadheads. All three fly like my field points. I currently have two slick tricks and two muzzys loaded in my quiver, I'll use the tricks first. I kinda like the way the tricks fly better. JMO.

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

I like trying everything I can get my hands on. 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.

I've shot a bunch of deer with Rage and they are exceptional on perfect shots, huge hole and lots of blood but Stick one in shoulder and it'll barely go in. Since I'm not always perfect I prefer the Ramcat. Muzzy and slick tricks are also good heads but my nod goes to Ramcat
