recommended broadhead

[Slickhead]

Thoughts for for a 40 pound bow and wood arrow?

Howard Hill?
Woodsman"
Delta?

whitetail deer or smaller.

2 blade for sure Simmons broadheads is my opinion not sure what Grain your looking for but the 175 gr tigersharks are my fav

My grand son shot his first deer last month he only had about a 35# bow and his arrows were kind of light with a short draw length (he is only 10) so we put Wensel Woodsmen on hoping to get as much penetration as possible . He didn't hit any bones but the arrow poked a hole on the opposite side through the skin.

Been shooting 40ish lbs for several years now and have used a lot of different heads and think the 3 blade VPA are about as perfect a head as you could want.  Easy to sharpen, penetrates like crazy and good blood trails vs a 2 blade. Shooting the 160's on my sherwoods and have been impressed.....

Tim. Cmon. We need a story and pictures.  That is way to good to not share

As long as the package says Grizzly you should be fine.

[Msturm]

a sharp one. Or a sharp rock.  Ace or Ribtech are my go to, becuase they are cheap and poke holes just like the 30$ ones.

[Gdpolk]

For deer, any sharp cut on contact head that is durable, well tuned, and well placed will work admirably.

I shoot Grizzly single bevels but there are a whole host of other exceptional heads at a wide variety of pricepoints.  Pick your flavor and enjoy your hunts.  I'd just recommend looking into heads that are going to be durable against bone impact mostly because if they break or curl up on you penetration is stopped dead in its tracks.

[Orion]

Any of the three you're considering will work.  The Hill has the best mechanical advantage and should penetrate the best. 

[Jon Stewart]

I use stone with a 40# bow and killed deer with them.

[Ray Lyon]

I've killed a lot of critters with a Zwicky Delta 2 blade.  Excellent head and will do well with your setut.

[SuperK]

My set up is close to yours and for the past couple of years I've used Zwickey 2 blades (Eskimos and No Mercy).   This year it is gonna be Eskimos and No Mercy broadheads but with 4 blades.  Most of my hunting is now from the ground so I don't get a low exit wound like from a tree stand.  Past experience has shown that the bleeder blades help with bloodtrails.

[Wudstix]

Magnus, Ribtek, STOS, Zwickey, ACE

Of course I tend to be biased, but the MEATHEAD would be great on a Sitka shaft.
I have buried a MEATHEAD into a 4x4 post from 15yards with a 41# bow. Also killed a big doe last year with a set up on carbon shaft tipped with a MEATHEAD using a 41# recurve. Passed completely through the animal.

[Alexander Traditional]

I've killed a deer,and a hog with a 45 pounder with a Tree Shark. I have some Badgers also,and they penetrate very well with lighter bows,but they have a very narrow cut.

[JD Page]

Can't go wrong with a sharp Magnus Stinger!

[Bow man]

You should really take a look at the Ace Archery Standard Broadhead

[Ron LaClair]

"When you wanna kill em dead Ace is the head"

look at german jager

[trad_bowhunter1965]

I switch from Zwickey delta to a Grizzly broadhead because I dropped my bow weight I think it might get better penetration just my 2 cents there are more folks that killed more critters here than me with a light tackle. What ever broadhead you use just make it fly's great and it is scary sharp.
