Which arrow / broadhead combo would you use?
 
Here are my options for this season. Assuming they all fly accurately, which option would YOU use and why?

I'm shooting a 06 Pearson Stealth at 68 lbs and 29.5" draw. All of my shots will be 25 yards or less (30 yards max if the situation is perfect).

Pick a number....

RE: Which arrow / broadhead combo would you use?
 
Right now #1, #5, and #11 are my three favorites.

I like #1 for food plot stands where I might get a 30+ yard shot. It's going to have the flattest trajectory and the Slick Trick will fly great at these speeds and give me a passthrough.

I like #5 for areas in thick nasty places where you don't want them to go very far. This arrow still pretty fast but heavy enough to push a 2" cut 3 blade mechanical through a deer.

I like #11 for areas where I know I'm only going to have close shots - 25 yards or less. That Magnus broadhead is just wicked but I have to see how it flies at longer distances. The high FOC should help.

If I had to pick just one I'd say #5. It's just a great combination of speed, killing power, and short blood trails.

I would use combo #1
You have plenty of KE, FOC and excellent speed.
The ST will make a big hole.

I would go with Choice #3 or #11

#11 for me. I love heavy set ups and its tipped with a Snuffer. My opinion probably shouldn't count I guess being I shoot a Snuffer.[8D];) Don't fool yourself either just because its a fixed blade, them Snuffers make a hell of a hole also.

To me the best choice of the lot would be #1

I'll probably use #1 for hunting field edges in case I have to reach out and touch one. I love my Slick Tricks and I don't want to stop using them alltogether.

I'lluse #11 (theBIG DOG!! [:-]) for thick woods hunting wherethe shots are 25 yards or less.

It looks like I'll save the Stricknines for the turkeys.;)

If you have some luck make sure you post some pics or at least send me some pics of the hole that 170 grain Snuffer does make. The 125's make a great hole, that 170 should be real nice!:D

Good luck with your set ups!!
