broadheads

I was wondering if anyone had a recommendation on fixed blade broadheads. Last year i used Muzzy mx 3 blade heads, but they did not leave a very large blood trail. I had a perfect shot and the deer only went 30 yards. My buddy used the same heads and shot a nice buck (once again great shot) but didnt leave a very large bloodtrail. Luckily we recovered his buck because it ran 100 yards and i could see him across the field go down from my stand. I dont really care for mechanical heads and was wondering about the carbon express f-15 heads? Thanks.
 
I have heard alot of guys rave about the G5's. I have never personally shot them so take that for what its worth.

The slick tricks are amazing heads. The magnums work great for deer and are sharp as anything out there. Tough as nails as well. Don't forget sharp kills above all else as large holes don't necessarily equal severed capillaries. Dull blades can 'push" aside vessels and not equate to loss of blood.

If you can inhibit blood from getting from A to B the animal will expire quickly. 4 blades on the tricks that leave slug-like holes. G-5 make good heads but were harder to tune than the tricks. You will like them...I promise :) This is from a guy who still shoots big mechanicals at turkeys, but for 4 legged critters-hard to beat the tricks.

Very good point right there.:way: Have a buddy who lost a couple of deer with Mech and fixed alike that he later admitted to shooting into targets to tune and failed to resharpen or change.

I've shot both Muzzys and G5 Strikers over the past few years. I'll be sticking with G5 from here on out. They are a very durable head and are sharper than anything I've ever seen right out of the box.
 
One thing with fixed blades is that if you're pushing your arrow heads into a foam insert up in your quiver head it will dull them fairly quickly, I always take any foam insert out of my quiver and cut it down so that only the tip of the head is in contact with anything be it if I'm using fixed or mechanical
 
Slick Trick Magnums! These heads pack a punch and are very durable.

I spined my buck last year and I just replaced the blades and it was back in the quiver again.
