Too fast for broadhead?
 
Is 275-290 fps too fast for a two blade broadhead?

Thanks

Not the right one with a well tuned bow and proper fletching. Give the Mangnus stingers a try along with the g5 B-52's and a steelforce two blade.

Thanks again, 5Shot. I posted this question on seveal sights and you did answer it on one of them. I did pick up the B52 and like the way it looks and feels. I've just never used a 2 blade and probably should have looked into it before buying. Oh, well!

Thanks again,

Ray

My BKII shoots 290 fps with 350 grain arrows at 60 lbs and 28&quot; it will stack 2 or 3 or 4 blade broadheads . I think it depends on the bow if you have a bow that has a marginal ture and go with lighter faster arrows your groups may get worse or maybe they'll get better if you are changing the spine for the better . Archery is trial and error sometimes what you think will not work does , and sometimes what you think you know will work does not .

We all have different oppinions , if we did'nt the world would be a BORING place

It mostly depends on if the arrows are decent quality to begin with. Then, whether or not you have the skill and patience it takes to tune a bow good enough to control that much speed. And then, you've got to have your shooting form pretty darn squared away and be able to execute a tournament grade shot out of a treestand under all weather conditions with no warm-up shots. Other than that, no problem.

with a great tuned bow no problem! if you can tune really well you can just about get any head to fly good. I would suggest a simple of things that might make your life easier at those speeds.

1. use feathers
2. use helical
3. use the best carbons you can buy (straightness goes a long way!)
4. make sure your inserts are straight & the heads do not wobble.
