I'm not a big bow hunter, and have only ever got one deer with a bow. But I did used to do a fair amount of varmint hunting with knives, and became thoroughly convinced ya need a blade that's very pointy, narrow, and sharp (all the way to the point, so it cuts on contact) all the way to the point. Thus with broadheads, I agree with the others who advocate for cut-on-contact points. The hide is the first thing your arrow will encounter, and it does a decent job of protecting the tender stuff underneath.
I use the Montec fixed blades, and had a complete pass through on the doe I mentioned above. But I also like the design of the old school Zwickey points. I do not care for arrows with a blunt chisel point, even though many have used them successfully. FWIW.
