My 17 year old daughter shoots a Browning Micro Midas 3 & draws 51#. Is this enough poundage for her to use a mechanical broadhead for a 15-20 yard shot? I have Rocky Mountain Sniper and G5 broadheads.
Thanks!

Not likely for a pass through. I'd go fixed but that's just me. I'm a mbh shooter but wouldn't recommend one for her setup. I am shooting them out of my bow at 55#, but I'm a 31" draw
you could go with the magnus stingers like TFOX said i know a lot of people shoot slick tricks and they get great penetration or you could take a look at the ram cats, they are supposed to be the best penetrating fixed blade broadheads on the market. and i would go with fixed blade being that low of pounds. hope this helps!!!

The last thing she should be using is a mechanical broadhead. Use a small diameter broadhead like a stinger, razor trick or slick trick standard, montec, razor cap, etc... and if she puts it where it is suppose to go she'll be a happy hunter.

Definitely not enough energy generated with her setup for a mechanical head. A good cut on contact fixed head is just the ticket for her. Muzzy Phantoms, RazorTricks, Stingers, all good choices.

I would definately go with a cut on contact BH. Magnus Stingers are good (last 2 buck with them and pass thrus 28" draw 55#), Muzzy Phantom, and Slick Trick Razortricks are good choices and good flying BHs.

While some mechanical designs may work, they are far from ideal. With lower draw weight setups, and probably shorter draw length, you need to concentrate on maximizing penetration. To do that you need smaller cutting diameters, cut on contact blades, and in most cases fewer blades. Magnus stingers are excellent as well as slick slick trick razor tricks, snuffer ss, muzzy phantoms etc. If it was my choice I would go with stingers, two or 4 blade will work.
