Your Top FIXED blade BH

Got a set of VPA Omega with bleeders the other day.
They fly perfectly and are built like a tank. Can’t wait to get them in the field this fall.

I’ve killed deer with exodus, Magnus black hornet, and slick tricks. Been happy with all of them with well placed shots. The black hornet see razor are in my quiver now.

Montecs, M3, grim reaper hades and micro both 3 and 4 blades, slick trick 4 blades, muzzy standard both 3 and 4 blades, g5 strykers, RAD ti cons, ram cat. Some I am probably forgetting. All did the job. The rad ti con sticks out for a steep quartered shot and severed 2 ribs driving to the heart and had nice flight. Currently the evolution jekylls to compliment the hydes are planned for the quiver for close quarter shots.

My experience is similar to TxxAgg...the best penetration I've gotten over the years is from Grizzly single-bevel broadheads. The long isosceles triangle shape helps significantly with penetration. For example, they will split ribs or scapulas and keep on with complete pass-throughs.

Any similar style will work well.

What is really cool is to be able to take multiple critters when they stick in the ground on the other side (if in a tree stand or other elevated position) and reuse them over and over by resharpening them.

The combination of being able to reuse them and the excellent penetration is what makes them my favorite.

The only time i don't get a complete pass through is if the broadhead lodges in vertebrae.

Been using Magnus black hornets for the last 3 years. Going to continue with them this season as well.

Exodus for me, for all critters.

After shooting a wide variety, I’ve landed on them for the following reasons:

- easy to tune for with small diameter. I shoot them with field points out to 80 yards without issue.

- durable tip and ferrule regardless of what I impact on an animal. They just don’t fail in any way that compromises penetration and cutting. By the way you can sharpen the pyramid tip easily.

- blades are plenty strong for any North American critter. They are sharp out of the box, but…

- easy as pie to sharpen with the stay sharp jig and sandpaper. I take new blades and run them over 1500 grit then polish on cardboard with buffing compound. Hair popping. After going through an animal if they’re not bent, I take them from 400 grit on up.

- make a small hole, but tend to make a hole that won’t close.

- animals tend to get shot with a 500+ grain exodus tipped arrow, and not run away like their ass is on fire.




If I had one broadhead to make one shot on a once in a lifetime hunt and I could throw it away after - give me a 125gr IW with bleeders. If I have to sharpen it after, I’ll pass on resetting it in the stay sharp 15 times per head.


My Colorado public bull this year was down in less than 10 seconds with an exodus. Blood everywhere. Blood trails aren’t reliable. This is old news. Any broadhead is a trade off. After 60+ 100lb or larger animals with a bow, exodus tradeoffs are best by far for me.
