I keep a couple grim reapers in my quiver for hunting in water but I am a big fan of the Ramcat broadhead.
I shoot 100grain ramcats (1 3/8") but I switch out the 100 grain blades for the 125 grain blades (1 1/2") cut and fly's like a field point. Best part is no to very little broadhead tuning.
In the last 3 years have killed over 10 deer, 1 big boar and 1 bobcat with these broadheads. I had one doe this year that I gut shot that went a few hundred yards but let her sit about 6 hours and found her sitting in her bed too weak to get up. The rest have fell within 100 yards and most within sight.
If I were to try anything new would be the slick tricks. I just like a fixed blade although the mechanicals do some SERIOUS damage even on the some marginal shot placement.
Year before last I shot a bobcat that was facing me in the front shoulder with a ramcat. The broadhead sliced him all the way down the body. It was pretty messy.
