I want to use my old bow and aluminium arrows to take out some of the ground hogs at work. What type of broadhead should I use? I want a head that I can reuse and not cost an arm and a leg.

Deer902 I would use some that you can resharpen and that are tough as nails, grounhogs are some tough hombres!

I shot a groundhog 5 times with a 22 long rifle and he still made it the 10 feet to his hole, from my experience they are tough, I have killed at least 50 of them, all of them except the tough ones with a single head shot.

If your ground hogs are anywhere near as big and tough as our Marmots, use a tough cut to the point resharpenable broadhead like the Magnus II. Our marmots are tough to stalk up on for the shot, have fun.

Ill second what Wahya suggested,MAGNUS is the way to go.They really take a beating!

heck Wahya, he wants cheap...get some Ribtec's They are Cheapola and durble plus easily resharpened! You will need some adapters for them so keep that in mind if ya get them as they are glue ons.

yep I think magnus or the old bear razorhead should work.

Hmmmmm.... I was looking at broadheads and mechanicals today at Len's place. They make a mechanical(don't remember the name or anything) that has a 3 blade 3 and half inch cutting diameter. Now that baby would field dress a woodchuck. Can you imagine a cut that big. I wouldn't ever think of using such a thing on a deer, but maybe on a chuck.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> Of course, the head was so long to accomadate the blades it would probably bend and be totally out of balance after one shot. No way would the blades last more than one shot. They'd probably snap in alfalfa.

hehe, yeah I thought about that too Dan and the Ribteks actually crossed my mind but figured he might not want to mess with putting the adapters in.
