Default Reccomendations for broadheads

I have a horton exploer 150 and have been shooting 125 gr field tips and have gotten pretty good with it and now i need to get it set up with some broadheads for Sept 27.This will be my first year bowhunting at all,so i am clueless when it comes to broadheads.I have decided that i do not want to use mechanicls.So what would you guys reccomend/shoot?

I have an Excaliber and son has a ten point crossbow and we both shoot 100 grain NAP spitfire broadheads. We used them for the 2 previous years and thats the only broadhead i will ever use.

G5 Strikers and G5 Montecs. Slick Tricks are a really favorite for many others. For mechanicals look to the ones without gimmcks like a twisting action and look for thick blades and cutting type tips like a trocar tip.

Rocket Slammerheads. 4 deer and 2 turkeys in this past season alone. Nothing went more than 40 yds, most under 25 yds.
