Favorite Budget / Mid Tier Fixed Blade Broadhead

[BuffaloBill]

QAD Exodus or Magnus Black Hornets. I’m partial to the Black Hornets but both have had a lot of positive feedback over the years.

What’s everyone’s favorite budget or mid tier fixed blade breadhead?

Currently running some slick trick magnums but want to switch to something bigger/beefier due to wanting to build some new arrows.

Many people consider the QAD Exodus to be the best 3 blade, replaceable blade, fixed head ever built, myself included.

I shoot swept, but check if they are legal where you live, because some states consider them barbed.

They are quiet, accurate, insanely durable, penetrate very well, and have a good cutting diameter. Shooting 60 lbs/30 inch draw, I have broken the shoulder by the socket on 2 trophy bucks, one a huge P and Y, and harvested both. Bad shots, but I'm glad I had that head. Also, every single shot has resulted in me being able to get the broadhead back and it was in near perfect condition and could be reused with perhaps a blade resharpen. I've got pass throughs into the dirt, cleaned the head, checked and all 3 blades still shaved my arm, and then killed another deer with the same head later that year.

I keep wanting to try another broadhead (although I have a bunch of QADs) but then I sleep on it and say "nope".

It’s a QAD exodus as number one, magnus buzz cut stinger or serazor, grim reaper hades, or rad madman as any pick if number one isn’t there.

I’ve been shooting Magnus Stingers for…….20ish years now?

I see no reason to change.

There are too many structural variables to a piece of flint, for me to trust and rely on it to perform to the same standards of steel.

Just Joking but Those Are Some Good Shots... Keep Up The Good Work.

Last fall, my first shot with a Magnus Stinger, hit a button buck high on the shoulder and dropped it.
The second shot was a Magnus Black Hornet and I was very impressed with the performance. The shot angle was severe left side ribs (behind the bow's riser) and exited just behind the right shoulder, which took out all the vitals and killed it quick. If the arrow hadn't hit the dirt on the opposite side, it would've passed completely thru.

Head of choice for a long time was Thunderheads. I have heard the quality went to crap lately which is a shame if true. It's a short list of heads that have accounted for more big game than a Thunderhead.
