    Which broadhead do you suggest for white tail. I heard the 1.75 has a really big exit hole for the size of the broadhead and has better penetration then the swhacker 2". So what do u guys prefer?

    I've been using g5 montecs but I'm gonna try the nap killzones this year. But yes smaller the cut better the penetration

    I'm trying the Swhacker 125gr this season for the first time. The 125gr has a 2.25"

    I have used the 100 grain 2" with great success. I have had complete pass through's with the 2 deer I have shot with them.

    1.75" would be just as deadly, less cutting surface = more penetration.

    Shot a WT last fall in Nebraska with the 2" version. Opened him right up, 2" gash on the exit for sure. Died 50 yds from my stand after only going 30 - double lung hit. Awesome broadhead for deer size animals, I would be a little leary of using them again for elk. I suppose if you shot them behind the shoulder with only ribs to worry about, they would do fine more than likely.
