what broadheads do you guys prefer?
 

I am 15 years old and have been using a crossbow the last 2 seasons with expandables. I got a Parker Buck Hunter XP compound bow for christmas and was wandering if i should go expandables with the bow or go fixed. I have taken 3 deer with my crossbow with the expandable broadheads and seem to have no issuesbut i would appreciate it if you guys would tell me what type broadheads you prefer to deer hunt with.

53 lb draw weight and 29 inch draw length

RE: what broadheads do you guys prefer?
 

Expandibles = NAP Spitfire 125's
Fixed = Magnus Snuffer SS 125
Both used in my compounds and XBow
I have never had any problem with them, and I will continue to use them as long as they make them.

RE: what broadheads do you guys prefer?

I used muzzy 3 blade 100 grain one time, I shot a doe at 8 feet with one and it didn't even go in all the way, I shot her right behind the right shoulder and I looked for her for 8 hours, no blood or hair. I went and bought some expandables the very same day and shot a doe the next day with them and the deer dropped within 30 yards I had blood spray 5 feet off the ground all over the trees, and I have never lost a deer with expandables.

You can get a three pack of Eastman or Allen expandables for 10 bucks to 20 bucks at Walmart.

Young Deer Hunter, I played a bit on Archer's Advantage (a software program that helps determine arrow spine, weight, speed, etc.). I'm getting about 46.5-47lb of kinetic energy for your setup with a 350 grain arrow. Of course, this is just an educated guess. But, I've found AA to be pretty accurate.
Assuming your going after whitetail, I see no problem in you using a smaller mechanical like the Innerloc EXP 2 blade, Rocky Mt. Snyper, or Rocket Steelhead. Fixed blade, any quality head will do. Everyone has their favorites.:)

RE: what broadheads do you guys prefer?
 

100 grain on either one:

3 blade muzzy
or
2 blade rage

RE: what broadheads do you guys prefer?
 

i would definatly go with the fixed blade....evry time i have used a expandable it dont always expand.

go with the G5 fixed balde with 100 grains

RE: what broadheads do you guys prefer?
 

125 grn G5 Strikers and 125 grn 2 Blade Rages for this year...I have no complaints with accuracy and I keep both razor sharp.:)

RE: what broadheads do you guys prefer?
 

I would go with Muzzys or Slick Tricks i use Muzzys my brother uses Slick Tricks both work well.

RE: what broadheads do you guys prefer?
 

Slick Tricks!!

It's the Best replaceable blade broadhead I've used in 40 years of Bowhunting.

RE: what broadheads do you guys prefer?
 

Without a doubt........THE RAGE two or three blade!

RE: what broadheads do you guys prefer?
 

Obviously you've used the wrong ones or making it up as you go along. ;)

Expand:

Rocky Mountain Snyper 2 blade
Rage 2 blade

Fixed:

Muzzy
Slick Trick
Inner Loc

Aftershock Maniacs 100gr

RE: what broadheads do you guys prefer?
 

Take your time and hit the animal in the correct spot, then it really does't matter which one you use. Just make sure you have the correct weight.

RE: what broadheads do you guys prefer?
 

at 8 feet and it didn't penetrate? I buried the entire head of a muzzy in a tree at 15 yards on a miss. something must have went way wrong with that one.

and Rob hit the recommendations right on the head. I second the motion.:)

RE: what broadheads do you guys prefer?
 

I'd say imo G5 Strikers.. Sharpest I've seen
But if you want an expandable I'd go Rage 2 blade

On a budget ya can't beat the muzzy though.. Good Luck and welcome..

RE: what broadheads do you guys prefer?
 

I like my muzzys. Inexpensive, dependable, American made. :)

RE: what broadheads do you guys prefer?
 

I shoot 100gr Grim Reaper Razortip expandables.

RE: what broadheads do you guys prefer?
 

I just put anew string an cable on my bow today. Hope I do not have to do that again for a while. But anyway my MathewsLX is at 67 lbs an shooting ACC'swith MX-3 muzzys.

RE: what broadheads do you guys prefer?
 

If doegirls estimates are correct about your KE levels, which is about the same as my calculations,then there is no way I wouldrecomend any expandable broadhead.

IMO 47 foot pounds of KE is way too low to be shooting expandable broadheads and I honestly can't believe so many are actually recomending them to you.
Most all of them have very large cutting diameters. Which at your energy levels will definetly hinder penetration and regardless of what the manufacturer claims, all mechanicals use some of the arrows available KE to deploy the blades. Some are pretty efficient designs but they all use some energy.

You should be looking at moderate to small diameter fixed blade broadehads to maximize penetration. Really no larger than about 1-1/8th inch

Some very good choices would be.....

CUT ON CONTACT
Magnus stinger
Aftersock maniac
G5 montec
NAP razorcap andhell razor
Sonic pro
Steel force
Rocky Mt. iron head
Eastman first cut 2 balde

CHISLE TIP
Slick Trick standard
Wasp Boss and Boss bullet
Muzzy
NAP nitron
Rocky Mountain blitz
Innerloc stainless extreme

My son is 15 years old and pulling about 63 pounds and making quite a bit more KE than you will be making and I have him shooting Slick Trick standards. My daughters set upis about 45 pounds and 25" drawand she will be shooting a two blade COC head, I haven't decided which one yet.

RE: what broadheads do you guys prefer?
 

I've used an expandable Wasp jak-hammer for a couple of years, theyflew great, but blades dulled fast. Going with Stingers this year, lifetime warranty, shoot excellent, extremely sharp, no buying $15 replacement blades, no messing with o rings, and from what I've heard they are a definite killer.

RE: what broadheads do you guys prefer?
 

Thunderheads have worked for me for many years. Made a double lung shot, go over to the point of impact and pull them out of the ground

RE: what broadheads do you guys prefer?
 

Muzzy... Muzzzy.... Muzzzzzy
Three reasons -

200lb buck both shoulder blades pass though -----> Muzzzzzyy

$35 or less for 6 - Best Buy! $16 for 6 new blades and tips. For this price you can target shoot with broadheads all the time!

How many other guys said "Can't beat Muzzy"
