honestly, as long as it's a coc broadhead, it really doesn't matter, there are dozens of great broadheads out there in varying weights from 100 to well over 250 grains each.  

same thing for the shaft material - try one type, try 'em all.  

bet if howard was alive right now, and in his hey-day top physical condition, he'd have a ball with all the tackle he could be playing with ...

I wish I could afford to try them all!   :D  I like 2 blade heads as they are easier to remove from the back quiver. I am going to use the Stos head and was looking to see how many used that head.   :thumbsup:

I like a head that has the back edge cut at an angle like the Tusker or Abowyer for singles and just about any of the double edge heads as they seem to come out of the quiver better. It could just be the way I draw the arrows out as I'm sure there are many other folks that have no problems, but I sometimes have a problem with Grizzly's and the STOS trying to dig into the leather.

TW,  I have had good results with 160gn Stos, Ace, Ribtek and Tuskers...

easy to get out of a back quiver too !

I have a bunch of three blades i'll use for turkeys this coming March ....

I have some 175gr Terminators but, they are difficult to pull out of my back quiver. I'm not willing to give up hunting with a back quiver just to use them.

Don't have a hill yet (dang it!!)     :banghead:
 
I have, however, hunted with my other longbows in the past....

Most recently one I build myself, before that a Dwyer, and prior to that a non-acs bow built by OL Adcock.  The 68" Dwyer was the closest to a Hill that I have ever come but not a Hill for sure..

Used Snuffers and most recently - Ace 125s  
I will continue using ACE with my new Hill bow when I get back...

Sounds good Kevin!   On the same note fellas, who bowfishes with their Hills?   C'mon don't be shy to show us your setups!   It's almost the season (we're praying!!!)...   Hero shots will do!
I didn't set out to bowfish with mine but did some impromptu carp hunting last year.  The turkeys refused to play along but I found a bunch of carp in a flooded creek so I spent a couple of hours plinking them with a couple of Ace Hex Head tipped arrows.

Didn't have any bowfishing gear so I just had to take shots where I was pretty sure I'd get my arrow back.  Anyway, here's a pic or two...

 

I'd like to do more this year with a proper setup.

I used a gadget attachment(3 Rivers) so I could use my longbow with a reel set up for bow fishing.

Nice fish Jim.

Thanks for sharing.

God bless,Mudd
