I am planning on getting a new recurve crossbow for the next hunting season as it will extend my hunting time quite a bit in the Okanagan. I am mainly targeting deer and the speed of the bow is around 350 fps not sure if that matters, but any suggestions on a good broad head? I want something that will give me good blood and take a deer down quickly. but also don't want to pay big bucks for them, thanks

I've had good luck with NAP Thunderheads on deer, black bear and hogs with a Browning Orion 150lb crossbow. I've also used the Wasp Hammers and they were good too.

Jackhammer sst. I've been hunting with one since 95. Mechanical is the way to go. Good luck. The extra season is fantastic

These will all do what you are seeking. No such thing as a "cheap" or "inexpensive" broadhead that Performs Well IMHO.

Best of luck with your decision...
