im shooting deer do you think they will kill 1

RE: are these broadheads ok for a 50lb pull bow
 

50 lb will kill any deer with a sharp broadhead. If you are worried I would say to use any type of cut on contact head. Or a two blade cut on contact.;)

Im pulling 50 right on the dot and im using 3 blade and they shoot great but their not mechanicals

RE: are these broadheads ok for a 50lb pull bow
 

I don't know why you would pick mechanical broadhead if you are only shooting at 50#. I think they willkill deerbut they won't penatrate and get passthroughs as good as a COC broadhead. A COC broadheads would be better for your set up.

RE: are these broadheads ok for a 50lb pull bow
 

NO!!! Too light a pull for a mechanical. Get over it. Get you a nice sharp fixed head and do it. Even the manufacturers say 55 pounds as a minimum I think. I've always felt 60 was a safe place to start at. Don't even think of mechanicals.

RE: are these broadheads ok for a 50lb pull bow
 

Depends on what kind of kinetic energy you are producing.

Go with the 2 blade.

i have heard of people using the rage broadheads with poundage in the high 40's and having great success with them.

RE: are these broadheads ok for a 50lb pull bow
 

No, you just don't have enough KE. Yes they will kill under ideal conditons, but why take any chances? use a head that will provide you with the best chance for success, and that in my opinion would be a good low profile fixed blade heads.

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.

RE: are these broadheads ok for a 50lb pull bow
 

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.

RE: are these broadheads ok for a 50lb pull bow
 

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

Cough Cough..Steel Force Phat Head...Cough Cough

RE: are these broadheads ok for a 50lb pull bow
 

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#.

RE: are these broadheads ok for a 50lb pull bow
 

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.

RE: are these broadheads ok for a 50lb pull bow
 

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.

RE: are these broadheads ok for a 50lb pull bow
 

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 :D. 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 hard;)What 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.
