A question to all of you bowhunters out there. I am just getting back into bow hunting after 15 years. Man have things changed!!!

I have been getting advice on broadheads from all kinds of people there seems to be two different schools of thought.

A. Never use a mechanical broadhead beacuse of poor penetration.

B. the new mechanical broadheads sre awesome and penetrate like a laserbeam.

I will be primarliy hunting hogs, my new bow is a Matthews Q2, I am using carbon arrows at some ungodly speed (at least as far as what I used to shoot.)

My limited experience tells me that an old fashioned two bladed long deep swept broadhead is the best penetrater. What is it guys and what works best withe these new ultra velocity set ups?
What flys best? And what hits hardest?
