Ok
Got the xbow
But broadhead ???

Looking at
Rage xbow X 2 blade
Or
G5 T3 xbow

Anyone?

Or something better?

BSK?
Bowriter?
Wes!
?
 
BSK & Bowriter knapp their own heads from flint.
I believe Bowriter learned this skill sometime back in the Stone Age, and later taught BSK during the Medieval Period.
But anything modern and sharp that shoots accurately will work fine.

I personally prefer a quality fixed blade, although I don't think the brand matters as much as whether they're sharp and shoot accurately for you in your set-up.

I'm using 150gr 4-bladed Slick Tricks.

Have experimented with several mechanicals, just prefer the "less to go wrong" aspect of fixed blades.
 
Wasp jackhammers sst 125gr. Go to cabelas web site, over 100 reviews on them and listed as a 5 star, I've used them last two years with Xbow. Shot a deer opening day last year droped it. And that afternoon took my first hog with same broadhead. Dropped as well broadhead still ready to be shot again this year, by far the srongest broadhead I've used. Including rage, swacker, and a few NAP broadheads.
 
Ive been useing the spitfire maxx for a few years.I killed 5 deer with it last year from 5 to 45 yds and all deer was recovered and had pass thru on all shots. They leave some nasty holes.
 
I use the thunder head 100 gr. like Catman said 125's may be better, but I have had no issues with the 100's.

Like others said, make sure they shoot accurately out of your set up and that they are sharp.
 
I shot a 315fps Xbow and use 100 gr. 2 blade rage and love them! Huge entrance and usually bigger exit holes. Never had one open in flight. Ive shot over 30 deer with these and had maybe 5 that needed the blades changed. Most will need a new O ring, but you get extras with the pack you buy.
 
100 grain swhacker hands down, the are very durable and fly just like a field tip. I started using these two seasons ago and I've killed 5 deer with them and none of them made it farther than 50 yards and the blood trails were unreal! I've used muzzy's rage and g5's and none of these compared to the swhacker's.

Never shot a cross bow but my favorite blackheads are Wasp Hammer SXT. Great results on mule deer. Only had 1 deer go farther than 40 yards after shooting one with these and that was cause I liver shot him and at that only went 100yards. Killed my biggest buck at 67 yards went threw the shoulder blade went 20 yards and pilled up, the broadhead was still in so good of condition i would have been comfortable flinging it at an elk after that. Great wound channels! And tough as nails. You wont be dissaponted I gaurantee it!
 
I am shooting the 100 grain Nap 3 blade expandables out of my tenpoint tactical this year. I called the company and asked what they recommended and tested, that is what they told me. However i am shooting from an advertised speed of 352 fps. I have heard that crossbows are harder to tune that a regular compound bow and is the reason to shoot mech broad heads for flight. I did shoot the g5 montacs fixed blade and noticed it was two inches to the right and a slight drop. I would think it you aim at a double lung shot it would still hit the mark for some groceries.
 
Look at the Grim Reaper Hybrid that just came out. It's a two blade fixed head with two blades that expand for a 4 blade 2.69" cut
 
Best broadheads design ever was the original Razorbak 3,4,5 blade.
Shoots just like field points.
Zero wind plane because they rotate on the shaft.

Have about 25 3 blade stockpiled.

is it true what they say about the swhacker broad heads they can penetrate at a 45 degree angle without deflecting?

I don't know about the 45 degree angle like on their commercials but they will penetrate both shoulder blades on a deer, trust me.
