This is some of the best advice I have ever seen here. I agree,
stick with a fixed blade broadhead with your set up. A Thunderhead
is an excellent choice. If you lived closer you could try mine,
I have all 3 weights of thunderheads. The 85gr. fly and penetrate
a little better with my set up and work well on deer sized game.
I know several people who use them on elk also. Good luck on our
Sept.14 opener!

Again, my sincere thanks to all who responded for steering me in the right direction. I couldn't be happier to find such knowledgeable archers who are willing to help.

dsheally, it's even better than that (about 9/14/02)! In addition to hunting on the 250 acre farm I'm leasing in East New Market on the Eastern shore on the 14th, I'll be hunting on Aberdeen Proving Grounds and that opens on Monday, Sept. 9th. 4 days to go, not that anybody's counting - LOL. Last year, because of 9/11, APG cancelled the whole season so this should be a banner year on the Post.

Good luck to all in their upcoming seasons. Be safe.

mdhunter2: Not really a problem. You're new here and welcome to a great forum. Because you're so close to my shop, I just wanted those who don't know my shop that well to know that we try to make every effort to get archers/hunters into the best equipment to suit their needs.

You have been given a lot of options concerning fixed broadheads. Just make sure they spin properly and fly straight. Keep one thing in mind. A bow and arrow, when combined with a human being, must work as a system.

Good luck at Aberdeen and throughout this season.

Quote from Len: "A bow and arrow, when combined with a human being, must work as a system."
That is one of the simplest, yet smartest things I have read in all the posts I have seen here (I lost some 500 posts when they messed with the system last year....I've seen more than it might look)

Well, I followed the fixed blade advice. I went with the 100 grain Muzzy's. I brought them home, assembled them and put them through the spin test. No wobble. Then I tried them out on my 3D McKenzie whitetail. They flew straight and grouped great with the point of impact at 20 yeards exactly the same as my field points. I had to make no changes whatsoever. I was very pleased with the advice, although I suspect that very soon there are going to be some very unhappy deer.

Thanks again,

Don

Only one more day to go Don! Good Luck and pick a spot!

Once again, MDhunter2, you da man and with the open minded approach you have in this industry, you'll be successful in your endeavors. More bowhunters should have the "I can learn by listening" attitude you have.

LEN, as always, you da man too and one of these days I'm going to make the drive just to see your shop and shake your hand.
