    At your draw and arrow weight, pretty much any broadhead on the market is available to you, fixed or mechanical.

    Nothing in your info gives any reason to stay away from anything specific. Unlike some that have low pounds of draw weight and should stay away from mechanicals, for example.

    As for your specific question, there really is now way to answer it definitively on a forum. It's simply a trial and error situation. Find a head you like and give it a go. Sometimes a head just refuses to tune for a given setup.

    I will share from my personal experience that I used Montecs with my old bow with good results but when I upgraded last year, I couldn't get them to tune to the new bow. I switched to Slick Tricks and all is good. I'm not saying that one is better than the other overall, just that one is better for me and my setup.

    You just have to try something and see what happens.

    On my light arrows I run the 125gr Solids. My light arrows run 435grs. My heavier arrows I shoot just about anything. Right now my heavy arrows are tuned to shoot German Kentics.

    I would check out either the Rage +P or if you want a good fixed head I would check out Slick Trick Magnums or Vipertricks.

    Try the Trocar HB, it's a hybrid head so you get the benefits of both mechanicals and fixed blades


    Mathews HTX 28.5" 70#
    QAD HDX
    Axion Cloud 7 inch stabilizer
    HHA Kingpin
    Easton 6mm FMJ
    Muzzy Trocar

    At 125 grains its hard to beat the Slick Trick standard or magnums. They both will fly like darts and the blades are of good quality. Expandables are great but if you have confidence in a fixed head I'd stick with that. Our setups are similar but I think I'm gonna go with the NAP Thunderhead Nitro this year. Its only 100 grains I think.
