    I have no experience with the Wasp heads.
    The thunderheads I've used for a pretty long time and have the utmost confidence in them. They are very durable, scary sharp nad fly great.
    My only pick on them is that sometimes its a bit of a bear to get them to spin perfect.
    This year I played around with some stingers, just for something different, and while they were a good head too, next year I will return to my T-heads and probably never worry about changing again.

    I can only speak to the Wasps. I used them for about 10 years +/- a couple years. I killed quite a few animals with them including elk, caribou, whitetails, and mulies, and overall I think that they are a great broadhead. I am not using them now but if they quit making Rage 2-blades I would go back to them in a hear beat.

    I have been using the Wasp SST hammers in 85 gr for the last 14 years. I think that they are a great head.

    I wanted to make my arrow act stiffer.

    I shot Thunderheads for a lot of years with great success. Switch to G5 Strikers last year because they fly better at long range. They put 10 deer down the last 2 years. Just curious, don't you like the Strikers?

    A. I am starting to think the G5 strikers are wayyyy overpriced. I now have suspicions that there are heads that are at least as good for 1/2 the price.
    B. I want a larger cutting diameter head.
    C. I have not been happy with the blood trails I have been getting with the G5 Striker


    This doesn't mean I am giving up on the Strikers but I want to try something new.
