Cut throat and stinger. You be just fine with the stinger with the bleeders. And I recommend them because of the hole. You will get a bit better hole.
But in all honesty, with that much horse power. I would shoot a large 3 blade. You will zip through deer and put bigger hole. You have PLENTY of power in your setup.

 

Take a look at cutthroats, Ive had good look with them. I have some grizzlystixs that just sit around. Didnt like the vented aspect of them, sounded louder.

I can vouch for that. I have 125 gr Maasais and I watched someone else shoot one of my heads. You can definitely hear them going through the air. That being said I still use them because they fly right with my field points and the edge retention is great.

 

Just curious what arrow weight are you shooting with mechanicals? You would do well with Magnus stingers.

 

100 gr.

 

I've killed my last 5 deer with Magnus Stinger 4 blades. Both 125s and 150s. They fly amazing and penetrate great. With your poundage and draw, I'd maybe consider the Black Hornets. I bet they are a little more durable than the Stingers.

 

Check out kudu broad heads can get them in 4 blade as well

 

So many good brands now to choose from.
I went with kayuga.
They checked all the boxes.
Wasn’t sure about the MIM metal, but so far I have zero complaints.

 

Have you had a chance to test them on a animal?

 

You will get several good suggestions.. I have bowhunted since1956 & used 2 blades in my stickbow days. Some fly great & others you have to play with. Personally, I prefer a 3 blade & have used them since mid 70s (45+ years now). Why? It gives me a better hole + 3 cuts (not a slit) & they "always" fly great with little or no tuning..Many, Many Whitetails, Hogs, Mule Deer + Elk, Antelope, Caribou, Buffalo, Black Bears & more have been arrowed with my 3 blades (actually some model Rocky Mountain last 45 years).

 

At that distance if you didn't hit hard bone and didn't get a passthrough, my first question would be towards bow tuning or poor form. The fletching doesn't have time to get the arrow flying straight on a target that close.
But when you switch to solid heads and shoot the target it will tell the story if you are not in tune.

I considered that also - that there wasn't enough time for the fletching to be stabilized. But I shot one earlier this year at around the same range, and it passed straight through. Part of me thinks I'm searching for a solution when there is no problem, but I'm always worried about a marginal shot that hits shoulder. I've been thinking about making the switch to two blade to get increased penetration in the event of a poor shot for a while, and am using my most recent experience to look into it further.

 

If you are willing to look at a 3 blade, the QAD exodus is excellent. Good penetration, easy to tune, and the blades are pretty dang sharp out of the package. Two blades, I would recommend the magnus stinger buzzcut and a stay sharp jig to sharpen them, very easy to get scary sharp. They won't have the edge retention of some more expensive broadheads, but that is easily taken care of by resharpening. I would personally stay away from the magnus stingers with bleeders, the ferrule design looks weak and I have seen some tests indicating that may be the case.

 

I have also looked at the QAD Exodus. If I go fixed three blade, that's the route I'll go.

 

I’m still a fan of mechanicals I have shot fixed heads many years and in my experience blood trails are better and shorter with mechanicals I currently use Rage, Sevr, and Grim Reaper. I killed two bucks and a doe over the past few weeks all down very quickly and ethically in less than 60 yards. Small fixed heads do have the penetration edge but be ready for longer thinner blood trails.

 

Magnus Stinger, German Jager and Zwickey Eskilites are all really good two blade heads. I shoot all three out of a recurve.

In my older, slower compound I use Zwickey Eskilites. The other evening I shot a coyote at 20 yards with my old PSE Thunderbolt at 70 pounds, a 2314 easton aluminum arrow and Zwickey head. It nearly cut him in half.

Magnus have a lifetime warranty and they are near hunt ready right out of the box. German Jagers are a copy of a stinger., they have the same POI with my recurve and compound as the stingers.

Zwickey are great old school heads and will require a little more work to tune and sharpen. Their weight is also variable up to 147 grains, but are advertised as a 135 grain head.

 

With your specs. Skip the stinger from magnus and get the ser razor with bleeders.

 

A little more expensive but Iron Will Wide's. I shot a doe this weekend at about 10 yds. Super key'd up because I got winded so she did react to the shot. It was nice to find my head buried in the dirt 3"+. She went about 50 yds and tipped over. I switched from Rage 2" last year and i've not going back to a mechanical after this weekend.

Cutthroats are one of the best flying heads I've tried. Great heads. I liked them better than Iron Will.
Magnus Black Hornet is another fantastic head and a bit more robust than the Stinger.

 

Several good heads mentioned already. Cutthroats, Iron Wills. Kayuga is another. I will offer that you should look at the Strickland Helix. I've been shooting them for 10 yrs. Lot's of dead critters. Never had any issues w/ any of them. Sharpen them up and put them back in the quiver. Tim also a phone call away. Great customer service. IMO that's a big plus. Also beware there China knock offs out there. Stay away! They bend and fold over as will any China knock off BH.

 

I would personally use cutthroat if I was making the switch. Magnus are wonderful and their warranty is wonderful if you decide to use it. I personally want a head I can shoot multiple animals with and all I need to do is sharpen in between kills. Cutthroat would fit that bill. Iron will is not worth the money truly. VPA would be a close second to cutthroat. If you are bent on spending a ton of money, don't go with the iron will, look into the evolution series tuffheads.

 

VPA single bevel with the "premium tool steel" looks very promising option. Kind of losing faith Tuffhead evo will ever be in stock. 200gr would probably tune perfectly with my existing arrow if I drop the poundage a bit. Trajectory will take a hit but I'll survive. Kind of torn with IW, they probably kill just fine but should I go wide or single bevel when I really want slightly wider single bevel. Don't like how they use same blade for everything and just add dead weight on ferrule

 

If you want a larger cut head look at the Simmons line. You’ll have to sharpen them yourself though.

with your horsepower, I’d go with a Qad Exodus or Tooth of the Arrow large cut.

 

Magnus stingers will never disappoint

I would also recommend looking into the Simmons broadheads

They were originally made for traditional shooters but in recent years have gained a following from compound and xbow shooters.

They make 2 blades of every size. From the 125 grain landsharks to the massive 205 grain safaris

They are kinda on the expensive side( $50 far a 3 pack , with shipping and tax) however they are almost unbreakable , they are supper thick and are made from a very hard steel ( whick makes them interesting to resharpen)

They won't disappoint.

 

I’ve used both Magnus Stingers and Iron Will. Both have performed exceptionally well. I would use them on anything in North America.

 

Its hard to argue against a 2 blade mech head for whitetails- very effective.....but you have to tune for good BH flight.

Try this, put a couple of fixed BHs on your arrow and shoot for groups at 40,50y with FP's. My guess is they won't group...which tells you the problem is with bow tuning and not the BH.

That said, I love the strong 2 blade heads.
I shoot a couple, one is a strong heavy bladed cheap $5 GJ...and I blow through everything, including moose with a 48# recurve. Those 2 blades almost always give me a pass thru...but even better, many of the animals don't run....they almost always die in sight.

 

If it counts for anything, im in my blind now. Just missed a turkey and had to dig my stinger 2 blade out of an oak tree. I'm really surprised how well it held an edge!

 

Shot a doe last week at 40 yards with a 125 grain simmons landshark. Zipped right through, wasn’t much blood until the last 30 yards but she only went 70ish yards and the internal bleeding was nuts. Arrow was in the rocky ground pretty good and it came out fine. Touched it up and it’s shaving hair and back in the quiver

I'm shooting 61@29 and hunting with Tooth of the Arrow BH's this fall. During summer BH testing I shot my TOTA test head and it shot fantastic, as did the German Jager and Trophy Taker A-Tac.

Mid-October I shot a young buck at 20 yards quartering hard away. Went in behind the right side ribs....bisected everything in between the entry hole and the exit right through the left scapula. Arrow was on the ground when I got down to inspect. Buck blew out and disappeared behind a clump of trees and never saw him after that. Since it entered at the very front of the abdominal cavity, there was gut material and blood, so I opted to back out for a few hours. Came back with my son-in-law and hunting buddy and discovered the wait was totally unnecessary.....down in 55 yards and stiff already. Cleaned the Easton Axis, shapened the TOTA....back in the quiver.

 

I'm using Iron Will 125 wides. Totally bombproof, can take abuse, and easy to sharpen. Killed a bull elk at 33 yards this year - arrow went cleanly through. I noticed the vented make a little more noise than the solids, but haven't had an issue with them on whitetails jumping the string. 470 grain arrow setup gives me plenty of punch for elk. They're awesome and will last after shooting at targets all season.
