Help on Broadheads
 
This is my first year bow hunting. I got everything, but broadheads. can someone give me some advice on what kind of broadheads to use?

depends on your set up. if your shooting under a 60lb draw weight i suggest a fixed blade.

-Muzzy 3 blade
-slick tricks
-NAP Thunderhead.

If your draw weight is between 60-70 and you want to use mechanicals you can, i still prefer fixed blade most of the time.

The mechanical broadheads i suggest are...

-Nap Spitfires
-rage 2 blade
-grim reapers

I love fixed blade broadheads. I shoot Slick Tricks and really like them. I have also shot Muzzy Broadheads with good success too.

alright thanks! I believe the draw weight is like 55? or 50? Im not sure off the top of my head, but its about right in there.

Make sure your bow is well tuned and which broadhead you use is really a matter of preference. At 50 to 55lbs of draw weight I'd stick to fixed heads. Lots of good ones out there. Slick Tricks are a great fixed head. Can't go wrong with a 3 blade Muzzy either.

Okay thanks! Fixed it is.

I shoot the muzzy 3-blade and love em, pass throughs every time and they are cheap. Alot of guys i know shoot slick tricks with great results as well. good luck.

I love 2 blade Rage. This is completely a matter of personal preference though. Everyone will always swear their broadhead is the best, just like I will about the Rage. Try a few different ones and see which one you feel more comfortable with. I like the rage because it gets great penetration, MASSIVE entry and exits, and the best blood trails I have ever seen. A lot of friends of mine wouldn't shoot expandables if they were given to them for free. I like field point accuracy and no risk of planing. Go with your gut though. There really aren't too many "garbage" heads out there anymore. Technology has come a long way since the old Fred Bear arrowhead fixed blades, although those are still some mean dudes on game. BB
