Broadhead recommendation

[Rutting Buck]

I'm currently set up with MAP Thunderheads 100 grain broadheads for my compound bow.  This is going to be my first year hunting with a compound bow and this fixed broadhead.  I have been thinking about getting another set up broadheads.  Can you recommend anything?

If that set up is working fine then there really shouldn't be a reason to change. I used to use Thunderheads and switched to Muzzy 3 blade 100 gr. and have been very happy with them.  PS stay away from Rage

I shoot magnus stingers and shwackers both work as they should and i watch my deer drop in sight every time

Why are you changing? They might work great for you. If it’s all set and your shooting good with them give it a go.  I use RAGE for my crossbow. Thunderheads are a good broadhead. I used them on my compound also.

I have used almost every head there is out of my Switchback over the years. Ended up back to the originals...Shooting 100 grain 3 blade Thunderheads and love everything about them. I shoot Hypodermics out of the crossbow....

You can't go wrong with Muzzy.

My favortie fixed blade broadhead for the past gew years has been the 4 blade magnus black hornet.  I prefer them to the QAD Exodus.  They fly great, leave massive wounds and have a lifetime warranty.  If you damage one, send them a pic and they send you a free replacement forever.  What more could you want. 

I also have some single bevel Bishop Archery Scientific Method heads.  They sre made of tool steel.  Super sharp and strong.  Fly like darts.  Also have a lifetime warranty, although you'd have to hit it with a rocket launcher to actually damage it

Thunderheads are great, practice with them then hunt with them. Enjoy your first year out with the bow. Don’t get caught up in the hype of equipment.

Nothing wrong with your choice, it's time tested and true. Make sure the blades are sharp.  Those heads put deer down quick provided you do your part. Hell any quality fixed 3 blade does.  Don't overthink it.  Designate some blades for practice and keep some razor sharp for hunting. I do recommend you spin every BH on the shafts you will hunt with and shoot them all (with practice blades).   Make sure every arrow in quiver is good to go.

Good advice, like said don't overthink it. I do take it a step further after spin testing and shooting each Thunderhead.  I number them 1, 2, 3 with the first being my best arrow. Top 3 only go in my quiver after installing brand new scary sharp factory replacement blades in each head that was shot and tested...To me, confidence in the shot (true arrow and head combination) is huge and eliminates any issue that I can control at least on my end....

Nothing wrong with thunderheads, they are tried and proven.

only thing you really need to keep an eye on with them is that the O rings are in good shape. If they get dried out change them as they are the whole foundation for keeping the heads solid.

When I shot thunderheads I changed out the o rings for small stainless washers I had milled down to the heads size. They were always super solid then

I shoot rage 2 blade and swear by them.
If I was gonna shoot s fixed head it would be g5 montec.

Switching from a Thunderhead to any of the other heads mentioned won't change much.
