Who makes a good broadhead that will fit well on a 5/16 wood shaft? No less than 125 grains.
Howard Hill 2-blades are 145 grains.
The Zwickey Black Diamond broadheads are 115 grains, a little less in weight than you want though.

Actually,SS, you can use any broadhead you want. Having it be a little oversize only makes it a stronger junction. I have used a lot of 5/16 woods over the years and have NEVER had an issue with using regular 11/32 heads. They will mount and function just fine. I don't even have problems pulling them from targets.
That's a good question Brandon. I've got hold of a dozen 5/16 compressed ramin shafts and am lookin' for "the right broadhead" also.

But after reading fletchers post... All Is Well!
Thanks!

Yep. Fletcher is right. Been doing that for years with some Sweetland forgewoods. Ashby's research shows that a shaft diameter smaller than the broadhead ferrule is one factor that increases penetration in critters.
MC, I think you're gonna like those squished ramins. Are they from Kerry Gesink?
Might be... Didn't I get 'em from you? ;)
My barrel tapered ash were 5/16 on the point end and I used both 125 gr Zwickeys and 160 gr Snuffers. I liked the fact they slid up higher on the shaft and the fit was tight. You can get Zwickeys in 5/16 but not in 125 grains

Now that I remember it, MC, it was me. Must be later that it seems.
