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 ?

RE: broadhead assistance please
 

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.

RE: broadhead assistance please
 

I used muzzy 100 grn for elk and it is fine.

RE: broadhead assistance please
 

Go with a fixedtype broadheadfor that size game imo.

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.

RE: broad head assistance please
 

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.

RE: broad head assistance please
 

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

RE: broadhead assistance please
 

Magnus Stingers.............SteelForce if you can't find the Stingers.

i was thinking of getting some wasp boss 4 blades they should work well on deer as on bigger game what do u guys think?

RE: broadhead assistance please
 

G5 Montec 125 gr would be my choice. Extremly tough 1 piece design with cut on contact head. Just my opinion.

This link should help you find what you need. I suggest a fixed blade head of modest cutting diameter. Muzzys, Stingers, Rocky Ti's, Wasp hammers, Slick tricks, Sonics, Wace'ms etc. are all great choices.

I agree, This is my first year with the Montec 100's(used to use Thunderheads and Spitfires) I can't say enough about them. They fly great and penetrate even better. Shot three does so far this year all have been passthroughs and all fell in sight. All of the blades were in good shape even after going through the deer and into the ground. I just washed them off and put them on the stone for a few minutes, then back into the quiver!

a family friend went for elk with a bow, he used 125 grain muzzy's. Based on their performance this year, my fixed blade of choice is the Slick Trick. You won't be disappointed, i guarantee it.
