Default What Arrow/Broadheads you guys shooting

Hey guys I was just wondering what your arrow/broadhead combo's your shooting. I've got some CX Heritage tipped with 200gr Magnus II - 2 blade for a total weight of 585 grains. This combo for me packs a serious wallop on my target and can't wait to try them on some Whitetails!

I'm also building some POC's to try and get a bit heavier but having a little trouble getting them tuned! I might have to wait until after Turkey season to get them flying good, I hate to mess with my set up this close to season! What do you guys got going on??

I hunted this year with Rivercane arrows with turkey feathers and obsidian heads.

I have a set of POCs I made up for my longbow.

Recurve: Gold Tip 5575 "Traditional XT" 31.5" long with their weight system. Broadhead is a 150gr Snuffer and 5" Shield cut feathers. Total finished weight is 545grs

Longbow: Same arrows but a different broadhead to get the tune exactly perfect, I'll be shooting 125gr Muzzy Phantoms off this set up. Total finished arrow weight will be around 520grs
I might also use 160gr Zwicky Eskimos with an extra 20grs in the back end for spine and get the weight up to 575grs but the other combo flies perfectly.

Both set ups are right around 9grs / lb of draw weight.
In any event with my draw length and weight these arrows really zip and hit hard.

Weoght and arrow will depend on the bow that I'm using, but they will be tipped with Grizzlys.

Port Orford Cedar arrows for my longbow and selfbow. Haven't hunted anything but fish with the recurve, but if I use it this season I'll probably shoot aluminum.

Broadheads are Ribtek, Wensel Woodsman, and Ace. Haven't shot anything with an Ace yet, have no complaints with the Ribtek or WW. It is a little more aggravating to get the dirt out of the ribs on a Ribtek after a pass-through though.

The last few seasons, I've been using Beman ICS Hunter shafts with two blade Magnus heads. Total arrow weightis around 445 grains. Lately, I've been tweakingmy hunting setup and will probably got to the Beman MFX classics for next season. Will probably stay with Magnus heads, but the Muzzy Phathoms have really caught my attention as of late.

Goldtips with 175 grain Muzzy Phantoms is what I shot last year....550 or so total grains.... I'm going with a different head this year, just haven't decided which one yet.
