I am very new to traditional..so,I would like to know what type and brand of broadheads are used. I am most likely going to be using a 45lb Martin Savannah for Whitetails. I assume you guys only use cut on contact fixed blade style heads. So..lets hear the suggestions..maybe some arrow suggestions also?

I shoot Surewood arrows, tiped with Aboyer brown bear 175gr... I also use some Grizzly stick carbon shaft, but will switch to 100% surewood, they are heavy and shoot great!! there is so many different good BH on the market, 2 blades, 3 blades, 4 blades, screw on, glue on, vented, unvented, single bevele, double bevel...
It look like the trend is in 2 blades BH, zweyky is popular, aboyer and many others. I think the 3 blades Woodsman, is an other popular one...
No mather what you choose, get them real sharp and place it where it count!!
Good luck

STOS and Zwickey are popular; with that bow and whitetails 2 blade is a good choice.

Basically what David said, I like the Surewoods also for woodies, they are top of the line wood arrows. For carbons I like the Beman MFX. For heads there are just too many good ones out there.
I've been a STOS fan myself for years. Of the new ones out there Abowery,Tuffhead and VAP are all excellent choices and Zwickey has been killing for years and years.

But with a 45lb bow..how heavy of arrow am I best off with? including the broadhead weight.

The standard answer would be to shoot 9-10 Grains per pound of bow weight at your draw, that being a standard hunting weight arrow and with 11-12 GPP a heavy arrow. 450-550 grains total weight would be fine. STOS is glue on only Zwickey makes both.
