I agree with multiple above replies. It’s really hard to improve perfection. I’ve tested a few other fixed (TOTA, Slick Trick, Stinger) and have always found myself coming back to the field point true broadhead.
 
I have been shooting these (125gr full blade) for the past few years and have been very happy with their performance. Anyone have an alternative broad head choice that performs as well, or better than these?
Not exactly what you asked for, but VPA's newest Omega with bleeders look pretty amazing. John Lusk's recent testing was one of the best I've ever seen. I haven't bought any yet, but their extreme toughness, sharpness and simplicity to resharpen, without even needing a jig, might make me break my "no new broadheads" rule. (I have a stockpile of enough excellent fixed 125 and 150 grain broadheads to subsistence hunt for the rest of my life already). I've still never tried Exodus, but I've never read a negative review by anyone who can tune a bow and knows where to send an arrow.
 
Why would you want to move away from perfect to something else????? I’m not switching from Exodus until they do something to screw them up. They are too good!!!!!!!

I agree Bisch. I don't think they make a better fixed blade than the exodus.. only other one I'd try would be the grim reaper hades .
 
I've had my best results with the Wasp Drone. It's been good luck for me over the years. Not saying it's better than the Exodus but it's definitely more forgiving than the full blade Exodus and should penetrate better. The Exodus is more durable but I've never had a Wasp Drone break or fail.

I've never shot a deer with the Exodus but I have 9 of them and have shot them a lot. I've had one in my quiver the last 3 years but never see anything to shoot when I have one nocked. I always have 5 different broadheads in my quiver and just rotate every hunt. I had great results with a Muzzy Trocar last year also. I shot 2 bucks on the same evening hunt, 1st one with the Trocar and 2nd one with the Drone. Both heads performed flawlessly.
 
Smith Bros Doom broadhead would be a great alternative
 
I'm not sure you can find "better"...
You can get close with the Crimson Crocs though.
They fly well, are extremely quiet in flight for a fixed blade, and leave nice big gashes.
I'm going to shoot at least one deer with a 150 Ser Razor this year, with expectations that it will perform right up there with the best of them as well.
 
Annihalator = flies like a dart, kills by cavitation (an actual hole) and the easiest to resharpen. I have harvested with : Ramcats = awesome. TOA = awesome. Slick Trick = Awesome. Annihalator just checks ALL the boxes.

I have a hard time getting them sharp. I understand that’s by design, but even changing the bevel angle it’s tough.

I have also used the QAD Exodus. This year I am going with the 125gr Evolution JEKYLL. I have been shooting it for a few months and I have to say that the groups are tight. I really like it
 
I don't know if its really an upgrade, more of a lateral move, but the VPA 3 blades are pretty great. And they're easy to resharpen. That said, ain't much out there better than an exodus.
 
Look up exact archery. Same design as exodus, but solid heads.
LUSK testes them on YouTube and they done super well
Just watched this video earlier and they definitely look interesting. With that said this will be my first year with the Exodus heads. They fly like darts for me and can't wait to see how they perform.
 
Going to be hard to beat. I shoot Wasp drones and have for several years. Zero complaints, so if you're just looking to try something else for the kicks and giggles id recommend the Drone.
