Look into the Rage broadheads. Cost a little more than some other brands but they get great reviews. They also come with a practice broadhead so you don't have to shoot the real ones. If you don't like mechanical blades look into G5 or Muzzy. G5 is also a little more on the higher end.

Side note; last year I used a completely different brand than the ones mentioned. The only reason I didn't use Rage or G5 is there were no 125 grain heads in stock when I was buying. I spent all my time practicing with 125's and didn't want to readjust for a lighter weight. This season will be different. Also, if I end up with the Rage heads it will be the 2 blade version.

If you're just pulling 45, I wouldn't get the expandables. They might not expand when they hit a deer. I'm pulling the same poundage right now, I'm gonna get it cranked up to 50. I wish I could crank it up more but that's as high as it goes. I think I am going to shoot NAP Thunderheads this season.

I agree with Chase. I've never really been a fan of the expandables. Just something else that can go wrong. If you're pulling around 45#, I wouldn't be shooting at anything outside of around 15-20 yards anyway. IMO, the fixed broadheads shouldn't affect the flight that much. One thing the bow tech we bought Sam's bow off of recommended for him was a "cut on contact" broadhead, meaning there's a blade on the tip. Go with the NAP Thunderhead XP. It's just like the Thunderheads that I use, but has the blade on the tip. Go to www.newarchery.com/ to see what I'm talking about. Hope this helps!

I'll agree with everyone on expandables; another thing to go wrong or broad side only. I used one last year that I'm no longer going to use but it did do the job. That Thunderhead looks good, might have to consider it.
