Another vote for the trocar. Average cut and build but they fly amazing. I can shoot them with my field points out of all my bows and long ranges and not see a difference. Slick trick are good flyers too but the blades seem to chip and bend a bit more. I’d shoot either.

My wife have been using Kudu broadheads and they have been fantastic.

We clean up the broadheads, re-sharpen them, and they are good to go.

last year I killed two deer with the same arrow and kudu head. Plan to use the same arrow again this year.

For whitetails, I think the grim reaper fatal steel 1.5” is really hard to beat. You’ve got more than enough energy for them.

QAD exodus and Magnus stingers are tough to beat in the fixed head category. Iron wills are great heads too, but they’re not 3 times better than exodus or Magnus.

All of the things I’ve killed with the 4 aforementioned heads were dead. No broadhead killed them more or less dead than another.

Although I hate their spokesmorons, I have killed at least a couple dozen big game animals and seven turkey with swhacker 125’s. Big holes. Very big. Durable too.

Sticking with hypoNC from my crossbow this year. Here's a doe from last year, exit side up can't find the entry photo for some reason.

A blind man could follow that trail.

Sevr 2.0. They have been the best I’ve ever used in 15 years of bow hunting. I’ve killed whitetails, mule deer and turkeys with them. They out perform every time.

Magnus black hornet or stinger. Had major issues with slick tricks last year. 2 times I didn’t get a pass through under 18 yards. Blades would break very easy. I was shooting standard and grizz tricks.

I switched to 200 grain single bevel Cutthroat's 2 years ago and bare shaft tuned my Sirius Apollo 250 spine shafts and can honestly say I have the best arrow flight in over 35 years of bowhunting!

there's just a lot of good heads out there. For me, my preference is a true cut on contact head #1. I shot Iron Wills and they are great but after having a couple of pigs run off into neverland with a couple due to less than ideal shots I decided I didn't want every bad shot on a pig or passthrough that I can't find to cost that much money. This year I've switched to KuduPoint Countour + and Simmons Makos. Both are very similar heads they fly the same for me. Makos have bigger bleeders and aluminum ferrules while Kudu have the steel ferrules. Similar design, blade thickness, steel type etc and are basically interchangeable as far as I'm concerned.

I'll be using these for whitetail, hogs and Nilgai this fall.

Killed several WT with QAD exodus and they haven’t left me wanting more. Switching to bishops this year because I like fixing things that aren’t broken.

I’m currently experimenting with RMS Cutthroats, QAD Exodus and Magnus Stingers. So far the cutthroat is the only head I’ve shot through a game animal. Shot a pig at 28 yards and it went about 10-15 yards. I was very impressed. Shoot whatever you’re confident in that flies well and performs in the field.

It’s been a while since I shot a fixed head, but when I did the G5 Strikers worked well.
