Default New Broadheads

After Dad didn't get a complete passthrough I'm going to be replacing his 20 year old broadheads with something new for Christmas.

We like the fixed blades.

What should I get?

G5 Montecs are great fixed blades that fly just like a field point.

thunderheads are great, lots of people love muzzy's also.

slick tricks are real good too.

I didnt get a passthrough with the 2 blade rages. So if youre looking for a passthrough i wouldnt get those. But they do leave an excellent entrance hole

I like the way the Thunderheads look. What grain should I choose. He shoots carbon fiber arrows and around a 70lb draw?

Are these the good ones you guys mention?

I use the plain old 3 blade, 125 grain muzzy broadheads. Very affordable, very effective.

This old doe made it 50 yards after the shot. Cut through two ribs going in, two ribs on the way out. This is the exit. Arrow was stuck in the dirt after the passthru and I'm shooting a43 lb bow.



Out of the four deer I've shot with my bow this year, three were passthrus with excellent blood. The fourth deer I didn't get an exit because I hit the far shoulder (actually the humerus). Broadhead did chip the bone but didn't break it.

FWIW, I shoot fairly heavy arrows for my light poundage.
