Default Toxic on Buffalo

Hi everyone
Just bought a Barnett Ghost 410 , any ideas on suitable broad heads for water buffalo. I've taken buff with my 70# tomcat in the past but I used 2 blade fixed type heads.
Thinking of trying toxic but not sure how all them blades will handle all that muscle and bone.
Cheers

For a big ol buff I'd go with a 2 blade for max penetration.

The Silver Flame comes to mind......

I reckon ya might be spot on there,
I've seen hunters try to take some of these bulls with 3 blade and even 1 hunter using a 4 blade slick trick I had to finnish off with rifle.
All well placed arrow (bow) just didn't get the penetration .
Cheers I think I'll stick to what I know works. 2 blade fixed I think

If a slick trick is having prob I think that toxic would fail big time

Try old Howard Hill 2 blade with screw on opp
I also find bear 2 blade without bleeder works great on MuskOx and Cape Buffalo

Kodabow has a special order bow called. AFRICAN BIG GAME BOW
IT has double limbs and split limb design shoots 900 grain plus arrows!

I used the Toxic on a whitetail buck and it blew right through him but a water buffalo is a whole different story.
