broadhead assistance please
 
i currently hunt with some rocket hammerhead expandable broadheads which are fine for deer but iam looking to do so other hunting with my bow such on moose and bear do u guys think i should switch my broadhead selection because i think the mechanicals will bend to easily on those bigger animals. If so what would u recemend ?

In my opinion I would say a .300 short mag rifle or higher. That's with a 180 grain bullet or higher at 3000 fps. Am I allowed to say that on this Bowhunting forum? HAHA! :D

i'd say look into some muzzy's thunderheads or magnus stingers. The cut on contact head is the best route to go for hunting game like that.

i recommend cut on contact heads for heavy game. not to say mechanicals won't work but the cut on contacts give me a warm feeling inside cause i KNOW they will penetrate the deepest. a surgeon i work with used the stingers on a black bear this year and it did it's job.

Any setup adequate for whitetails will be adequate for bears, for moose however, I adimantly agree with the rest and recommend a fixed blade head.

Magnus Stinger, 150 gr. In the case of a moose, the more arrow weight the better....IMO
