(POLL) Which heads kill deer when sent through the lungs
 
I'm a sinew wrapped flint head guy and a mechanical carbon guy....My experience has been make hole in lungs with sticks and stones or 20 dollar mechanicals and the deer dies...

Well, it's quite basic really. Back when I took my EMT exam, the first thing we were taught is the ABC's. Airway, Breathing, Circulation. Take any 1 of those 3 away, and the pearly gates are comin awfully quick. ;)

Haha thats right. Although I prefer fixed heads over mechanicals, both will do the job when you hit the right spot.

Either way...Good shot equals dead animal...99% of the time, fixed or mechanical

I prefer fieldpoints because they fly like fieldpoints.

No it has to be a rage head 123 gr with 25% foc at 310 fps at a 90 degree angle with the wind blowing north at15 mph on a friday,or they just get up walk away and heal instantly.

I would have to agree it is for sure rage. I know somone that hunts my propery and he made a bad gut shot and the deer fell within 30 yards. It was also a ten point that weight in at 198 pounds. So that has convinced me.

Shot placement and sharp blades....for me 125 gr. Thunderheads I have at least three dozen, so not ready to change. They have never failed me. I like an entrance and exit wound for good blood trails.

However there are a lot of goods blade out there, but ones has to put them in the right brown spot....

Whoo Hoo, I one of only to two who answered something other than putting hole in them. I'm still trying to kill one with a spitwad, hopefully next year.

Maybe a better thread topic would be "which broadheads will kill a deer on a horrible shotbecause I don't practice enough and I fling arrows around the woods like cigarette butts at a Phillip Morris convention";)

WRONG!!!!!!!! Field points exactly like Slick Tricks.... I thought you knew that????

If you put a field tip through the right spot the deer will die. *Not a good idea*. The native americans had far less superior arrow/head combinations that did the trick. If you put any of todays broadheads through the lungs of a deer, it will die. Its all about shot placement.

LOL!! Are you sure Greg? Maybe you should start a thread and see if people's field points really fly with their field points:eek:


The only broadheads that kill animals are ones put in the right spot.

Hopefully they are Sharp!

You could send a pratice tip through both lungs an it would be a done deal.

My Brother in Law shot a Doe one year with some off brand cheap looking mechanical. I mean this thing was small even if ithad ofopened. Any way, he shot her through both lungs and watched her for 20 to 30 minutes before trying to do a sneak and finish her off with a Muzzy he had in his quiver. The 1st broadhead did not open, so in all practicality was a field point. I am sure it would have eventually killed her, but it was obviously going to be a slow death.
