    mechanical broad heads or fixed blade...

    I have been using mechanical broadheads ever since I started hunting as I was told they fly better. harvested a buck 3 years ago 75yards straight pass broke a rib with one of the blades (blade broken too) and through the heart. I was sold on these considering how tough it was to straight pass through a rib from that range. shooting an 09 pse stinger maxed out 70#. last season shot a buck at 15 yards and was good easy shot right behind the shoulder. only to find my arrow full of blood, blades didn't open... next day i tracked him for hours with lots of blood and spots where he bedded and had pools. sadly the blood trail got thinner until i was on my hand and knees trying to find a spec of blood. I figure I got lungs but was basically shot with a field point.. never found the deer and had to go home that day.

    debating whether to switch to fixed blades or just another brand. shooting 125g NAP spitfires.

    I used slick tricks and montecs when I bow hunted, they left some mean holes and flew straight.

    Slick tricks work well also and fly like a field point

    Fixed blade for, I don't even know the brand. I just used what the guy I bought my crossbow off handed to me. I just sharpened them and when I thought they were super sharp...I sharpened them more. Got my 1st archery buck that season.

    Whichever your arrows like the most, I've used a lot from Rages, Muzzys, Toxics... I still have dozens, if you're in LML area we can meet and I'll let you try some of them, see what fits.

    I'm not sure about the other brands but I like the G5 Montecs because they have the pre-season practice broad heads that fly like the real thing so you don't have to tweek your set up too much. Good luck.
