Default Broadheads

What broadheads do you use on deer? Turkeys?

Hey Big,

There are a lot of different broadheads for traditional archers. For deer I prefer the Zwikey Black diamond 2 blade at 125 grains. I shoot woods so I use the glue on's. The most important thing to do is make sure you spin test your broadheads and align them so the arrow flies straight.

But, you have a choice between STOS, Muzzy, Magnus, Ribtek, Wensel Woodsmans, Ace and many more. Anda few of themcome in different weights, from 125 to 250 grains.

Rich, that's nasty. What's the story?

Personally, I have been using Magnus Stingers 150 grain for the past few years. I like them a lot. Especially the very small bleeders.

But I have also been thinking about going back to Zwickey Delta's.

I hunt mainly whitetails, with the occasional Elk and Moose trips.

Lots of great ones out there--I've got Ribteks and Wensel Woodsman's in my quiver right now, but that's subject to change.

If I was turkey hunting, I'd go with the biggest cut I could get. For deer, depends on the bow poundage--for lighter poundage, 2 blade.

Ouch Rich...

What is considered slow? 45 lbs?

Do 3 and 4 blade configurations leave better blood trails? I was looking at the Magnus Stingers with the two bleeder blades. Is this not a good broadhead for a 45 lb recurve? 50 lbs?

Thanks to all.

For that draw weight a nice Ace standard 125 grain head that is razor sharp. They have a wide cutting diameter and are easy to sharpen.

One thing you may need to consider is your total arrow weight. If you are drawing 45#'s then the total arrow weight should be no less than 400 grains. The heavier the better, 450 to 500 grains. It is the arrow weight, with a razor broadhead, that produces maximum penetration.
