Questions...
 
Hey folks, couple questions for people who know more about this stuff than I do. I am going to get my wife bow, her first. It will be a Browning Micro Adrenaline. She is going to be shooting around 45# at a 26" draw length. I was wondering what a good broadhead would be for that weight. I shoot Slick Tricks and really like them, but with the severe angle of the blades, I was thinking there may not be enough energy with her bow to get the same penetration that I am getting with mine. I want to stick with a fixed blade head. She likes the NAP Crossfires "becuase they are pretty with the dimples in the ferrule." If anyone has any input, let me know. Thanks!

the slick tricks should work. Muzzy's, Magnus Stinger are all great heads.

I would use a CUT on CONTACT head.. Like the stingers.. You'll get better penetration with the lower KE levels she will be shooting.

I don't think you will have any problems with the Slick Tricks on deer sized game. But if you are not confident in them, maybe look at a cut on contact like Magnus.

some Muzzy 90 grains at Cabelas.com might be a little light for that kind of bow but it'll get the job done, just make sure to have a stabilizer for those kinds of broadheads

Take a look at the "Whackem" 100's cut on contacts/puncture combo concept. This is the head my brother put on his wives bow. They fly extremely well.

avoid chisel point tips, they need more kinetic energy.
you will get better penetration with a cut on contact broadhead like the stingers.

my son shoots 85 grain stingers. he hasn't taken an animal yet, but they shoot well.

My wife shoots basically the same set up and she shoots crimson talons, with her setup they fly flatter than her field pts. consistently hitting 3 inches higher

something light and with a cut on contact blade.
