RE: best broadheads...?
i really like magnus stingers, deadly accurate and you get pass thru's most of the time... the only problem i have with the rage is penetration issues, you have to have some serious KE to get pass thrus

I have shot muzzy for 20 years, dont see a need in changing. If a broahead does what you want it to do, why change. When I first started bowhunting many years ago there were very few broadheads on the market. Bear razorheads and magnus were the mainstay. I remember when they came out with the satellite broadheads. I started using them they had a couple of bad faults to them. One they didnt fly all that great and second the blades had a bad habit of coming off inside the deer. I remember finding several arrows after passing thru a deer and there would be 1 blade left or none, if you were lucky enough to even find it. Had to be very careful when cleaning a deer not to cut yourself. Been many improvements in broadhead tech in the last 30 years.

The only way this question could have been worse was if you asked what the best bow is.
To answer (or attempt to), I will start by saying this is a very opinion based question and opinions are like butt holes, we all have one and they all stink.
With that being said, I shot Rages this year; the cutting diameter drew me in. I had no problems this year at all, in fact all the deer I killed with my bow (9) were all pass thrus with one exception. I still cannot explain why that one did not, but the fact is it did not blow thru and in fact the penetration was extremely poor.
I am going back to a fixed blade head this year, something with a cut-on-contact design. I am leaning towards the G5 Montecs, I like the one piece design and they are extremely sharp. I also like the Slick Tricks as well as the Shuttle T's.
What I suggest is, shoot a few different broadheads and find one that you have the most confidence in. Then you would have found the best broadhead for you.

There is no “best” broadhead. But there many that will get the job done in a varied set of circumstances.
Some are tougher built, some less likely affected by tuning issues. Some come scary sharp, others are able to be returned to sharp over & over.
A long time fan of thunderheads, I would not feel any less confident with magnus stingers, slick tricks, muzzys, or montecs on the tip of my arrows. That said I will keep plugging away with my thunderheads for the majority of my hunting needs. They’ve never given me a reason to doubt them.
