In your situation I believe you will increase your odds of a kill if you use a fixed blade broadhead. I would also recommend a simple two-blade design. You should have plenty of power to make clean kills, if you make the right decisions. An arrow on the heavy side will also help with penetration.

Penetration is gonna be your number one challenge. I'm going to a heavier arrow and Magnus Stingers this year due to previous experience with penetration problems.

I am using a carbon arrows 30-50 and 100 grain fixed blade broadheads. Last year i shot a doe and my bow was set even lower. it had about 10 inches of penetration then. I have heard of people killing deer with 35 pound bows so i figured i had enough power.

You sure do. No arguement there. But I like two holes in my deer if I can help it.

I agree with straightarrow , a fixed cut on contact 2 blade head , like a magnus stinger , or stealfource , or bear razorhead would be ideal for you setup , make sure they are so sharp you are scared of them

I would probably suggest a fixed blade as well. With that said I think a one of the 2 blade slip cam style mechanicals would work just fine. Try the Rage or the Rocky Mtn Snyper, they require less energy to open and if you got up to about 50lbs you would be fine with either of those.

im a diehard mechanical shooter but on my wifes bow i put rocket unltimate steel. they are small and fly great at the speed her bow shoots and since she doesnt shoot past 25yds. but when i was younger i used the rocket wolverine until the steelhead came out with no problems and actually alot of pass throughs to me arrow placement is the most important thing esp with low poundage bows.
