Fixed broadhead suggestions?

I've used mechanical for my entire bowhunting career (8ish years), but I'm considering switching to fixed. My biggest concern with mechanical is that it will be stopped by a shoulder blade (I primarily hunt whitetail deer). Anyone have experience with a good fixed broadhead that can reliably punch through shoulder blades?

What's your bow approx set up, and what distances for whitetail? If pretty fast (eg > 285fps, tuning may be more of a challenge)
- choose a lower profile if longer distances in 100gr head and use insert if you need to up arrow weight.
- accurate and BH flight will probably serve you better than larger hole (eg bigger blades may tail more at distance)
- a standard vented blade slick trick will likely tune easily and might be a good starting point, before investing a lot of $ in a higher dollar blade
- a cut on contact design likely better to punch a shoulder blade
-Lusk has a lot of good data on his channel

Magnus Black Hornets are probably the best you can get without getting into $20+/per head . After that you have the IW, Day Six, and Cutthroat, etc.

Another vote for Magnus Stingers. I have used a lot of different broadheads including Iron Wills and just keep coming back to these heads. They just flat out work and are cheap with lifetime warranty.

Another vote for Iron Wills. Pricey, yes but durability, true flight and I’ve personally had great experiences with the service. They come sharp but I do touch mine up after I get them. My buck this year went down within 60 yards in sight. My arrow passed through and was buried in the dirt about halfway down the shaft. Plenty of great options out there but that’s my experience.

Been using IW wides and QAD exodus for years. Both have been amazing in my experience.

Grim Reaper Micro Hades have been excellent on the last three deer I’ve shot. The pics were from last year but this years buck they punched right through a rib with a full pass through at 30 yards.

Iron Will gets my vote. Also the Annihilator Katana might be one to consider?

Ive personally really enjoyed trifecta broadheads. I have been running two of what he is now calling the tank and two of the tank busters. Arrow flight is great after broadhead tuning.
