Default 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....

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.

#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!

Good luck with your set ups!!
