I wouldnt use mechanicals. Id say minimum of 60lbs should be pulled to shoot them, and even then i still dont trust those things. Shoot a good fixed blade like Muzzy, Slick Trick, or something like a G5 Montec.

I would recommend a G5 Montec or an NAP Hellrazor for your setup. As noted before, 50# is awfully light for a big cutting mechanical head.

at 50# id prefer to see a smaller fixed blades. Something like them talons or such. Will give you better chance at recovery. Just my .02

I have to agree with some of the others...Not enough pull wieght behind it to shoot a mechanical, or even a hybrid mechanical (cut on contact front with mechanical behind it). I would get some type of cut on contact - either 85 or 100 grain. 2 or 3 blade would do, and should get you plenty of penetration on the shot even at 50#.

i pull 50# w/ muzzys and they do fine, id get something like that. it makes it alot harder to track deer if u dont get passthroughs, especially if u hit them high. the G5 broadheads look pretty sweet to me.

What weight? Depends more on the foc of the arrow if you are asking about arrow flight.

As mentioned, I would not trust a mehanical with a 50lb bow. Ive used mechanicals and had success, but like a good cut on contact fixed head. My trad bows, that I use for big game are well over 50lbs, and I wouldnt think of using a mechanical with them.

FOC>>>NOT, depends on KE and with 50 pounds of draw weight you should forget about mechanical heads, that is unless you have about a 36 inch draw length . The onlymechanical head I am aware of that would work,at that weight, BUT I am NOT advocating,would be a Rocket steelhead 100, they open up if you stare at them real hardWhat you want is a broadhead that will pass cleanly through a deer's ribcage. Stay away from the mechanical heads, besides with 50 pounds of draw weight, you should not have any planeing issues. And make sure your bow is well tuned. DFA

I'll jump on the "not enough weight" bandwagon. Definitely go with a fixed blade cut on contact, such as a Montec. My wife shoots Montecs at 53# and very well with them, got a pass through on her last deer at 31 yards. Just not enough KE for a Rage IMO.
