a good quality broadhead, magnus, g5, muzzy, slick trick, all fixed broadheads that has tons of successes with all the bowhunters in this world.
tune your bow, test some broadheads, then choose.
slick trick are great 4 blades, G5 montec are great 3 blade.
it depends about what will u go to hunt

I have shot several fixed blade BH's but had to tune all of my bows to get them to shoot well. I will say that Slick Tricks have required the least amount of tuning. However, I tried some of the Grizz Trick 2's and they gave me fits until I went to a 4" fletch with helical. These shot fine with Blazers out of my back up bow but not out of my main hunting bow. The speed difference in the 2 bows is the issue I think.

With your setup and lower energy output if you cannot or will not tune your bow to maximize your arrow flight and efficiency then you really should not be shooting broadheads at any game animal. You need your arrow flying as straight and true as possible when it impacts the animal to get all the penetration you can.
At the least try a larger, very aggressive helical and that will help and consider a cut on contact style head as well.

What this guy said.

I know, I know, its frustrating and I am not preaching to you. But it is definitely the best choice. You run into a lot of problems with the arrow not flying true. Even tuned, however, you would be best suited with a larger, two blade cut on contact head like the Magnus Stinger.

The only thing I would add to the above is the two blade version. With that poundage and draw I say 2 blade.

That pretty much sums it up...

I personally think you should have a little more respect for the game your hunting then to go out and just sling an arrow at them out of an untuned bow. The difference between arrow flight and penetration with a tuned bow virsus an untuned bow is night and day.

Default Which broadhead?

Anyone can tune their bow/arrow set up; just takes a little time and focus. You should do it even if you are only shooting targets.
