Fixed Blade Broadheads for 2 Excaliburs

[Fox]

I picked up an Exocet 200 for my fiancee, with a crank-a-roo. I have an Exomax at 250lbs.

I do not have a lot of broadheads left, so I thought it would be worth while getting the same stuff for both bows.

I had at one point used the WASP broadheads, but then when I purchased the Exomax I bought the package with the excalibur broadheads in the kit.

What is everyone else using and what seems to be consistent.
I know that the current 3 broadheads I have are not the same as the ones released now, so I need to buy new anyway.

The bolts we have are the firebolts, I have some of the old Laser II bolts but I will toss one of these into the quiver with a small game tip on it.

I currently have 125gr broadheads, I know that makes things over the 350 grain minimum but would it be advantageous to go up to 150gr or down to 100gr?

Thanks

I switched from the Excalibur 150 grain bolt cutters to 150 grain slick trick xbow magnums this year and I am very happy that I did. The 4 blades on the slick tricks leave a very large channel. I have used them with both the firebolts and the 2219 aluminums with good results. I prefer the aluminum bolts though. Good luck, you'll get a lot of different opinions.

If you do go with the slick tricks, get them on amazon. I had them delivered to my mailbox for $10 less than the cabelas price BEFORE tax. They are also cheaper than the boltcutters.

Slick tricks all the way. Tough as nails, accurate and can be re sharpened when they begin to dull. Spitfires are deadly accurate too but the blades and retainer's get buggered up after they pass through a deer.

Good thing I am not really worrying about anything until next year, I still have 3 setup on Laser bolts for this year and very accurate.

I realize now though that if I like a head I better get a dozen at once, they change so often when you need replacements they no longer make that type and the old ones become bits for the shelf.

Another vote for slick tricks. No complaints with the 100 grain heads. It's also convenient and easy to just replace the blades rather than re-sharpen them.

I use 150gr. on all my excal's 380 / exo200 and y25 , the extra foc weight doe's help in the accuracy department , Be hard pressed to beat a bolt cutter for consistent accuracy but some complain of poor blood trail's with them as I've witnessed as well , so a 150 gr. xbow trick is my go to head at this point shoot well out to 40-45 yd's .

I mentioned this on another thread I use Rage 2 bladed movable broadheads - I have always used 2 bladed heads - one of the reasons is that the fields points that with these heads shoot just like the hunting head - this I believe is very important - being able to shoot at the target with a field tip and be confident that the hunting broadhead will hit the same spot -

The bolter cutters hit hard so most deer go done quickly but the three I have seen shot and their was very little blood trail. May have to look at the slick tricks.

Has anyone tried the Rage crossbow broadheads?

I have not been around a lot of bow shot deer, I am not sure if my blood trail was a lot or not, but I assume a lower shot would have given a better blood trail.

I see Muzzy broadheads as a less expensive one, but I also think that 0.02" blades are a little thin and may break easier.
