I need a good 200 grain broadhead combo now that I have switched to 400 spine carbons.
I'm thinking about using a Grizzly of some sort and a steel adaptor or a STOS with a steel adaptor.
I Might consider a NAP Razorcap in the 200 grain addition.
What else would you try, I like Magnus and Zwickey heads so those are under consideration also.
I was also considering adding some of the new break apart brass adaptors and with the 100 grain adaptors I have now. I could use the 50 grain piece and the 100 grain normal brass adaptor with my 150 grain Thunderhead 2 blades; I have 18 of these with a ton of replacement blades.
Basically I need 300 grains out front so that is ultimately what I need to come up with.
Thanks,
Josh
Do a 100gr STOS and a 100gr adapter if possible or 2nd choice is the 125 stos and 75gr adapter
I shoot 125 grn wensels in a 75grn adapter = 200 grains..... Great set up
210 gr. Silver Flames are extraordinary. :thumbsup:
QuoteBasically I need 300 grains out front so that is ultimately what I need to come up with.
160 STOS + 125 grain adapter.
300 Xtreem
300 Ashby
200 Ace + 100 grain adapter.
Why not try a 100 grain brass insert with a 220 grain Muzzy Phantom? An extra 20 grains can't hurt that much. OR take the bleeder blade off you'll have a 200 grain 2 blade.
I would shoot some fletched broadheads before you decide.I've found that a longer broadhead makes up for some weight when tuning.
For example,with a PL I owned I had to bareshaft with 190 field tips to match a 150 WW.
125gr Snuffer + 75gr adapter... that works for me.
100grn Brass insert and a Muzzy 200grn Phantom.
I second the Muzzy Phantom
100 grain brass insert and if ya want to shoot a grizzly use a 42 grain long aluminum adapter and a 160 grain grizz!! Too many ways to list to get to 300 grains up front. Shawn
I've like the Phantoms since they first came out...pre-Muzzy.
I like the razorcaps, grizzlies...I'm in trouble now. :thumbsup:

check out the Tusker broadheads at www.braveheartarchery.us (http://www.braveheartarchery.us)
Ditto on the razorcaps. real easy to sharpen and easy to change the weight. DB
I use the Razorcap i have furrels in weight of
125
150
175
200
I like it it allows me to use many differant arrow combos and still use the same blades
...Already some good responses here, so I'll just add my two cents for consideration as well. I shoot 220-225 grain BH's and primarily use Phantom's or Grizz 190's with the long adapter. Both have performed flawlessly for me on all sizes of critters.
I have recently ordered some Tuskers, so I'll be trying those out as well. If I like them as well as the above, I'll be in high cotton for sure!

Can't go wrong with the Phantoms or Razorcaps. Any of the 160 grain two blade like Grizzlies or STOS only need a normal long aluminum bh adapter...they weigh about 40 grains.
Those Abowyer that have been on a few threads lately sure look nice. Haven't used 'em yet though
I use a 100 grain brass insert and a 100 grain Magnus 4 blade Stinger. The smaller diameter broadhead with the extra weight really gets great penetration. Give it a try. I highly recommend this setup over the wider heads.
i shoot a 200grain abowyer, i take a 135 grain bonehead and grind the nose off a steel insert till it's 65 grains. It's a little more work, but who doesn't like to mess around with there setup, they fly great
and i haven't had any problems with the heads coming apart. The other suggestions sound good as well
Call Steelforce. They have a new 200gr single bevel that's shaving sharp out of the box. I have some myself.
Also, the 190gr Phat Head also looks super.
Or call Alaska Bowhunting. They have some great 200's, if price isn't a barrier.

Something with 2 blades and sharp-right behind the shoulder.
I like the razorcaps. I shoot 175 caps. I also have some 125 Magnus heads with a 75 grain steel incert, for 200 grain heads that I used on hogs this year.
I have a question on adaptors...if you have a 400 grain arrow and a 150 grain broadhead will the 42 grain Aluminum adaptor be considered a weak link?
Just a thought since the arrow will weight out at around 600 grains. For some reason I think the Aluminum adaptors seem weak, I think this is because the length of the adaptor that isn't threaded behind the bevel is very short. The steel adaptors seem to have a longer piece of metal between the threads and the back of the taper.
I like the Alaska Bowhunting broadheads...thinking about the 200 grain Maasai or 200 grain Samurai broadheads, then again for $10 more I could get the Silver Flames. Then again I might need to hit the lotto to afford these.
If I were to buy 3 now and 3 more in a couple of months I'd have 6 in time for hunting season. I could also buy a bunch of Razorcaps for the same price. Might do both, deer season is a ways off and I'm done buying bows for a while (maybe).
Thanks to all that have replied, it's great to see what everyone is using.
