Lower # shooters, What's your broadhead?

[Wannabe1]

For those of you, who are shooting lower poundage bows like me, what head are you shooting to get the job done and at what grain weight? I'm talking of those bows in the 40#-45# range.

Let's not turn this into a properly tuned/properly sharpened/properly placed shot debate! I already know that stuff. Just want to know what folks like for a broadhead. Thanks in advance, TW.

I've used and had really good results shooting Grizzly single bevels, Woodsmans, and Zwickeys. I would say that as far as just flat out shooting through stuff, the Grizzly takes the cake. All 3 will kill any deer/turkey or <150lb hog out there. Everything I'm shooting is 200gr.

Thanks for the reply Husky! I like the looks of the single bevel heads. I am contemplating the one from RMSGear for this years adventures but, I'm open to persuasion!

I'm shooting 150 grain Stingers,out of a 47# bow

[the rifleman]

Ive had good luck w 156 gr single bevel, total arrow weight of 495 from 38# bow.

Going down to 454 grs in this bow this year.  Also using a 125 stinger w .800 spine arrows from a 36# long bow total weight 356 grains.

200 grain 3 blade VPA's are my broadhead of choice for trad. I have shot deer with them with bows as low as 40 lbs but usually shoot mid 40's on bow weight.

200 grn cut throat, 42 Lb.

I'm shooting a 19" Gilo with med. rc woods @ forty five .lbs and have not tried them but will soon and that is the Exodus 125grs. All reviews say that they shoot like field points,LOL but they are priced good and look like they will  do the job on white tails.

Rifleman, right now my arrows weight is 460gr. AD Trad Lite cut 29.5" bop with 145gr up front. My bow will be approx. 40#-41#. Looks like we are in the same ball park.

I think you'll be good to go--- you know the important stuff--- sharp head, fine tune, and accurate placement.
Best of luck this season!

Magnus Stingers 125 grain, 42 # bow.

[slowbowjoe]

Ace standards, 125 grains. I'm pulling 42 or 43 lbs. Any more weight up front and my arrow weight gets too high; this is with wood shafts. I like my arrows to end up 9-10 gpp, and about the same "FOC".

[Wannabe1]

Joe, what length are your arrows if you don't mind me asking?

[SuperK]

Zwickey Eskimo and/or No Mercy 2 edge.  Bow weight approx. 40 lbs. at my draw length.  Wood arrows from 460  to 500 grains.  Whitetail deer mostly and maybe one day a Swamp Chicken!

[Yooper-traveler]

I like to try at least one new one a year. Or revisit an old favorite. Grizzlies, abowers, cutthroat, VPA 3-blade, woodsmen and Simmons are always ready to go and one of each in the quiver. 

[DocWolf]

Zwickey Eskimos beefed up to 200 grains with steel adapters at 48#. Have not tried the single bevels.

[ron w]

Ace standard.......

Ace standard.......

Is that the head you shot your bear with Ron?

[HartHeart]

I don't actually shoot them myself, but the Cutthroats by RMSGear are really, really, tempting. The warranty plus the design and durability really set them apart IMO. If I hadn't already gotten a really good deal on some Bishop Scientific Method 315's, the 250 grain Cutthroat would definitely be on the end of my arrow! I'd recommend either that one, or the 200 grain.

[Wannabe1]

Yeah, the Cutthroat is the one I am seriously contemplating.
