Hey Guy's,
Wow ......Lot's of info! I checked out that software.....That's some pretty crazy stuff! My KE actually come out to 65lbs.. My previous setup I was about 55lbs with a 409 grn Easton Axis 400. Thanks for the heads up on the Steel Force heads. I've looked at them in the past but just wasn't sold.They have a new head out though. That looks like it could be just the thing. It's called the Fathead. It's compact,doesn't have alot of extra blade surface (planing)and has got.080 thick blades. Havea look...... steelforce.com

Congratulations on being a Grandpa!!!!! Do they make Camo Diapers......(For the Baby)
Gotta run....
Be Safe,
Bill

Some diapers become camo while in use........ Whatever blade you use, I would look for an open truss like design to reduce planing. Thats what made me choose what I did.

Though not a coc, I have seen absolute devistation with the shuttle t's on many occasions. They fly good at higher speeds also...

Good luck in your quest. If you have any questions on the software, feel free to give me a shout

Is this your first one? My third one was born on Sat. May 3, Lathan.
It s amazing how much camo stuff you can find if you look. What I couldn't find I made.

All broadheads work the same way . . . the cut on contact as they pass through (enter). So over the years, I have tried different BH's for different reasons. NAP Thunderheads, NAP Crossfires, Magnus Stinger 2-blade, and even tried some NAP Spitfire mechanicals for a couple seasons.
They will all do the job. But what is the one complaint that all archers have about BH's? They don't hit the target where the field points hit! (For the purpose of making my point . . .) So you had to retune your bow every season.
That is . . . until I started using the Slick Tricks BH's. Absolutely unbelieveable.
I went with the 100gr Magnum (1 1/8" cut). You can get them in 125gr also. The Spitfire flew like the field points, but you have that whole mechanical thing especially with large thick skinned critters like elk.
Try the Slick Tricks, you will never go back!

I've seen 2 different elk that were shot by 3 blade Magnus Snuffers. Excellent holes and blood trails and both were pass throughs. The last few years I've seen the steel force BH's 2 different times break a 1/4" off of the tip off just from ribs on whitetails. Maybe that wasn't the new style, maybe it was. Something to think about anyway.
