what broad heads to use

[boat_bigfish]

My wife and son both shoot 4o lb. bows what is the best broad head to use for the best penetration on hogs or deer.

[Hot4huntin]

I like 85 grn. Thunderheads with my set up. However, I will be switching to a 2 blade coi BH for better penetration on larger boars. I'm looking at the German Kinetics. Hopefully, Tinman can give you better insight on the GK blades.

What arrow are they shooting with their setups and what is the arrow weight?

[LostHawg]

I'd recommend the Magnus Stinger. Match the weight of the broadhead to the shaft. Probably 85 or 100 depending on the shaft you use. I'd say go with a 35/55 goldtip carbon or something like that. 2013 if they're shooting aluminum.

Thanks for the advice I shoot 70 lbs. and I use thunderhead 100 grain . broad head.And the magnus stingers were the choice for my wife and son,I just wanted to get some feed back on them.

I have had very good luck with Stingers

[proforce99]

Whatever broadheads you decide on, PLEASE keep them SHARP. We see all kinds and types at the ranch and some hunters have broadheads that they shoot into the practice targets all day and then go hunting with them. They are so dull, you could ride them all the way home and not get cut. With lower poundage, cut on contact broadheads would probably be your best choice, but just remember....KEEP EM SHARP

When I was shooting trad I also shot the stingers. Great blood trails on everything I shot with them (which was actually only a few deer and a couple of hogs).

I now shoot the G5 Montec heads and I think they would do a fine job as well.

I have seen the stingers work very well on hogs. My personal favorites right now are slick tricks and G5 strikers. My wife swears by the slick tricks

Try the TEKAN II= 100 Gr -will droppem right down :wink:

If penetration is the concern you should go with a sharp two blade. I also like the stingers, but have also had good luck with Zwicky and the normal Magnus heads.

Razorsharp ones. :D Steelforce serrated 100's and 125's

[LostHawg]

Yep, Zwickey makes some good heads. ;) The best judos on the market too.

The key is "sharp". You want that blade cutting stuff from the moment it enters to the moment it exits. Any severed vessel is a releaser of blood. The more blood loss, the quicker, the sooner you'll be loading the truck with your prize. ;) A blade that's not sharp enough will push these vessels out of the way as it passes without compromising them.

I like Zwickey and Ribtek for this. I can get both razor sharp and they mount very easily on my cedar shafts. An adapter and they're ready for screw in shafting as well.

I bummed a stinger off a guy and tried it. The head has a LOT of potential.

I SHOT A 100 SOW WITH A 45# BEAR TIPPED WITH A 125 MAGNUS IT DID THE JOB.

[Ronny]

I like the wacem heads, they fly so true :D

[RSATT]

I have changed over to the two-blade Rage this summer. It has worked great on hogs. Still haven't decided to use it on deer.......but don't know why.:)

That's what I am talking about Ronnie.. Rage is all I will shoot until I have something bad happen.

[cabhunter]

In my opinion, I would shoot Muzzy Phantom 220 grains but that's traditional equipment.
For Compound, I would use 125 grain woodsmans if you can find them and keep them sharp.
I shot my recurve last year at a 150 lb pig and blew through him with a 220 grain phantom.
It just depends on what flies the best.

[LostHawg]

Those 220 muzzys are some mean heads. I haven't tried them on game yet, but my styrofoam block target does not stop the head.

[howie1968]

I have shot hogs with every head imaginable, I sure love the t locs i have blown through some big hogs using them, i also like the magnus 2 blade 100 the muzzy 2 blade 100 and the rage here are some pics

They all obviously do the trick Howie. I am a die hard Rage fan until they malfunction. Here is the entrance hole that the Rage did on my doe a few days ago.

[howie1968]

the rage is the only mechanical i would use on a hog, i know that spurs debate but i have lots of experience with not only testing but seeing tons of hogs shot with everything imaginable i trust the rage on anything i will ever shoot the only reson i dont shoot them all the time is the price i can get 6 mizzys for the price of 3 rages

This is a fact Howie. They are too pricey but it is hard for me not to fork up the cash.

[howie1968]

they do work!!!!!

[Tumbleweed]

And I would say Stay away from 2 blades when shooting 40 pounds!!
They don't fly as well as a 3-blade does. Same prob with 4-blades.

I have shot 40 pounds for many years and different b/h's (Muzzys & Montecs, which both I like) but by far the best b/h I've used is the one I'm using now - Grim Reapers (@ 50 pounds). They fly like field points and cut a huge hole! Got three deer down already this fall and I've only just started!
