Broadheads for Moose

corey006 · 09-11-2004, 10:14 PM

What is everyone using for broadheads this year on Moose...

I will be using 4 blade Phantoms.

Used a Wasp Hammer SST on 40 inch bull last year but wasn't totally pleased with broadhead. Two of the 3 blades had their edges rolled over by hitting ribs.

I like the the Thunderheads. I have never seen a thunderhead fail yet. Solid broadhead for sure.

This year I purchased 100 grain bear Razorbacks (two blade) cut on contracts. Unfortunately I'm unable to go this year so I won't know how they work on moose.

I have used 3 blade Rocky Mountains, 125gr on Caribou, Elk & Black Bears. Took this Buffalo (March) with a Rocky, 3 Blade Ironhead 125 gr. Complete pass thru @ 41 yards & using 60# Darton. My buddy is going for Moose & Craibou next week & that is what he is using.

Something to be said for the RazorBak is that it rotates independantly from the arrow shaft ( at least this is my understanding). Will this greatly enhance pentration traits? Will it allow the edge to glance off the side of ribs?

in case you couldn't tell...yeah, im a newb

I went to the Magnus Stinger 4-blade this year. Scored a Newfoundy bull
last week with awesome penetration. Went through one rib on the way in and broke the upper shoulder on the other side. He went down in thirty yards. Blade will be re-sharpened and used again.
