Crossbow broadheads which do you use ?

[Gruntinbuck]

I recently got a good deal on a Horton crossbow package and I'm in the process of setting it up. What broadheads do you use and why? My preference is fixed style heads but I've been told planning is and issue with crossbows and fixed heads once you get out past 25 yds. Whats everyone's thoughts? Thanks chris

First time My son ever used a crossbow was this season. I spoke with numerous friends who hunt exclusivly with the crossbow looking for recommendations like you. Decided to use the Rage Hypodermic crossbow broadheads specifically made for the crossbow. Shoots identical to a field tip and the buck my son shot went less than 40 yards and was dead on his feet. I highly recommend them. Please look at the collar and line up the blades like recommended when affixing them to the arrow. Makes a difference as told by the guys that use them..

I use wasp drone 3 blade 100 grain fixed. They are not specifically for cross bow. They shoot like my field points, and drop deer in a few seconds, 4th of the season went down this afternoon.

Rage hypodermic. I've used the regular ones and the xbow ones. I do put a rubber band on them because I'm anal about little shit like that. Lot of shock/vibration coming off that shelf at 380fps.

NAP Spitfire maxx mechanical broadheads because I couldn't get fixed heads to group well out of my Darton Toxin 150ss. There are no rubber bands, o-rings, or clips to break or malfunction on these heads.

I tried slick tricks and ramcat fixed blade heads. Neither grouped well enough past 20 yards to give me enough confidence to take a longer shot on a deer

NAP C.O.C. Killzone Crossbow. I like the fact there are no shock collars involved. Shot a doe last weekend and she crashed in 30 yds.

X 2!! I used to use slick tricks also but I wasn’t impressed with the grouping or the hole size. I switched over to the spitfire maxx this year and all I can say is WOW!!!!! Cheap, fly like field points and insane holes! Several deer so far and none have gone past 40 yards. Dick’s has 4 packs for $40 and you can always find a coupon.

I had used Slick Trick's 150 grain crossbow head for years and never had a problem until this year.  I just bought a pack of Excalibur's 150 gr Boltcutters.  They fly like field points but they have a smaller cutting diameter, which I'm not thrilled about.

Ive used NAP Spitfire Maxx & G5 Strikers with good results out of my setup

Add me to the NAP spitfire crowd. Like others said they fly like a field point and so far deer haven’t made it or than 30 yards. The hole they make is devastating and they definitely break bones if needed.

Nap spits and wasp Jak Hammers. I will say the spitfires are pretty tough, if you can keep them away from the rocks they stay sharp. Every animal I have taken has been down within sight with most only going 40 yards.

I've used several. Nap SpitFires are great, but now I use the Grim Reaper Razortip Xbow heads. Very similar to the SpitFire, but better quality IMO. No collar needed. Highly recommend
