RE: what is your favorite broadhead
I love the devasting killing ability of a Rocket Aerohead Sidewinder...
100 grains, 1 1/2" cutting diameter, led by the devastating Pathfinder tip.
My confidence faltered just briefly in them however earlier this year, as I smacked a doe at five yards square in the shoulder with one and didn't recover her. I let her lay for four hours before taking up the trail -- slowly -- and eventually trailed her -- sometimes on hands and knees -- to a CRP field she was using to bed in. I jumped her about sixty yards into the field and lost her, about five and a half hours after shooting her.
She was the first one I've ever not recovered after 23 straight, but I feel it had much more to do with shot placement than the head itself.
I tried some Muzzy 3-blade, 100 grains later, and really wasn't happy with the blood trails I got on the next two. I've got some Rocky Mountain Turbos I'll be trying out when the season re-opens.
