    Prefer fixed but use expandables too, specifically (only) the Bloodrunner 3 blade. May try the Bloodrunner 2 blade. The majority of my hunting is with fixed.

    99% of the time, it's a Muzzy MX-3... though this year I plan to shoot some with a Muzzy MX Phantom as well.

    Fixed, love the NAP Crossfire 100's but they are discontinued. Might look at switching to the Bloodrunners.

    I am not particular to any certain broadhead...started with thunderheads and loved them, many broadheads later and right now rage and snypers are in my quiver. I really like the look of the shuttle T and the 2 blade blood runner as well.

    I've been very happy with my Slick Trick 100gr heads. I'll be shooting them again most likely on my backup rig, and plan to try 125gr GrizzTricks on my main rig this year.

    I didn't vote for either, because I don't really use one more than the other. Last year I shot slick trick mags, this year it's slick trick grizztricks.....I've killed em w/ rocket, rage, punchcutter, hypershock, slick trick, muzzy and magnus stinger. I never know what broad head I'm using from year to year.

    I prefer a true shooting. Durable blade broadhead. I use Slick Trick 85 gr. and 100 gr, I also use 100 gr. spitfires. I did not vote. I am really excited about trying the bloodrunners. I do not class them with standard mechanicals, due to their operation being completely different. I consider them to be hybrid.

    Fixed blade all the way for me. I will be shooting Magnus Stinger 4- blades this year in a 125 gr weight.

    Rage, because I have bunch invested in them now with all the practice heads and such...but then, I am a damn nug with this whole thing and have bunch of Muzzy 3 and 4 blades also and some NAP expandables also. I am using the Muzzy 3 blades on my crossbow for my son...they track well enough and he may have to shoot through the netting in our blind. (I hope at least).

    I have shot muzzy 3 blades since they came out because they have never failed me. I hate to tinker with my set-up so why change.

    While I've killed more deer, probably 2 to 1 with mechanicals, I've found that I really like ST's as well as anything I've shot, and they're damned near indestructable. My last 5 deer and 2 coyotes were killed w/ 125gr ST Magnums. :tu:

    NAP blood runner 2-blade for me, I have always shot fixed before but I like the cutting size on this broadhead and that if for some reason it malfunctions it will still put a nasty cut through a deer like a fixed broadhead.
