I use Thunderhead 125 grain fixed blade broadheads. I currently shoot a Hoyt Havoc (310 fps), used to shoot a Jennings Carbon Extreme (260 fps). Both setups had no problems with the Thunderheads. I have yet to hit a deer broadside where my arrow didn't pass all the way through the deer.

I would think that any well made broadhead would work well. The trick is to PRACTICE WITH YOUR BROADHEADS. A lot of people shoot field points, and assume the broadheads will fly the same...odds are they won't.

I don't use mechanicals so I don't know anything about them.
