50-100gr insert or half out, arrows cut as short as you can for your bow, properly spined or one spine stiffer, squared on both ends, 100-125gr head, properly tuned bow that shoots broadheads and field points to same POI further than you can shoot.
Surgical sharp blades - either than come that way or that you sharpen that way.
Slight preference on small fixed heads.
If you build arrows properly and tune your bow properly, and your blades are properly sharpened, they’re all gonna work.
My preference for small fixed heads is the reduction of “ass on fire” running I tend to get compared to wide cut mechanicals. And one less failure point.
More weight up front will ease in tuning, and result in a significant increase in penetration. Mirroring this - less weight on back of arrows will accomplish the same thing - I avoid lighted nocks, bushings, small of a wrap as possible, etc.
I shoot 75lb 30” draw 500-525gr arrows, exodus heads usually, with 100gr half outs.
