Looking for set-up suggestions for an arrow I am putting together for my son, Reed. What are you guys shooting at the 150 grain mark? Could go a little heavier, but no lighter?
eclipse wherewolve 145 single bevle
Magnus stinger 4 blades are hard to beat
In that range I have thought of the 150 stinger and a little heavier the 165gr or 175gr simmons.
150's VPA yerminators or Magnus stingers
I've had good results with Magnus stingers and silver flames in that weight. I've also had good results with the VPA terminator in a little heavier weight but they do make it in a 150. Good luck to Reed!
I am kinda partioal to my German Kinetic Silverflame XL's!

Thanks! I like the 125 grain stingers, but can't find any 150s at the usual suspects. I will expand my search a bit. I also like VPAs, but that 150 looks like it gets wide real quick to me. The 165 Simmins is really appealing. Decisions decisions...
Oh and now I have to go look at a werewolf...
We have the 150 Stingers available, both two and four blade. :archer2:
Magnus Broadheads at Braveheart Archery (http://www.braveheartarchery.us/magnus_broadheads.htm)
We also have the Tusker Javelin 150 screw in heads, in either sharpen yourself or wicked sharp out of the pack pre-sharpened "Bloody Sharp" heads. A nice feature of the Tuskers are that they are completely solid, no vents, since some archers prefer heads without vents.

2 Blade 150 gr Magnus Stingers get my vote!
Go with the Simmons!
Razorcaps....super sharp and never let me down !
VPA 3 blade it does gain width quick but I don't think it will be an issue. Zwickey eskilite comes in about 145 in screw in format. Woodsman elite is a nice option if you don't mind vented.
I like Stingers and shoot the 2 blade 150.The price is good.The Diamondtip tip is excellant!The blades are thick enough.They fly great and dont cost an arm and a leg.
4 blade 150 Stinger. Goes deep easy!! Very sharp from the pack. Incredible quality.
Razorcaps have proven to be the deadliest head I have used since I started hunting in the mid 1950's. Most game I've taken has gone down in sight and blood trails are always very good to excellent.
Stinger, no doubt. Those blades don't play around. SHARP out of the pack.
Razorcaps or Kustom King Trailmakers are my choice of screw in heads.
150 grain Steel Force premium heads from Three Rivers. They are sharp out of the pack and don't break the bank..Henry
Another vote for the 150gr 4 blade Stinger.. :thumbsup:
125gr wensel woodsman epoxied into a 32gr short aluminium adapter.
go for a tad more weight, I would recommend the 200gr screw in VPA 3 blade.
Why hasnt anyone mentioned Wensel Woodsman. I think these heads are great and have taking several deer and hogs with over half the shots being pass through shots......even on sonme of the hogs.

Yup, What he said!
As mentioned, the 150gr 4 blade Stinger is great. Also, the 145gr Steelforce Phathead is about the only multi blade screw-in that better than the Stinger. Although, you may have to call Steelforce directly to find 145gr Phatheads at short notice, if 3 Rivers or other onlines are out of stock.
How about a Zwickey Eskimo or a 130 Gr STOS on a 25 Gr short adapter.
Muzzy Phantom Fred Eichler edition is 150gr as a 4bl and 125gr as 2bl and is longer and leaner then the standard Phantoms for better penetration.
VPA 3 blade!
I see there is no shortage of opinions!
I doubt that 200 grains will work with these arrows, but I will check it out because I love the 200 grain VPAs myself...
having a hard time finding magnus stinger 4 blades (or two blades) in stock....
Tried to do the Braveheart thing, but I don't do paypal and of course I needed them yesterday...
I may make up some woodsmans.
Just ordered a half dozen 150gr 2 blade Stingers from Tim at Braveheart yesterday afternoon. My supply of old Bear Greenies, which finish out with short adapters between 143 to 149 grains, is getting low. Looking forward to trying them out.

Stingers have made a lot of critters fall for me.
If there's a 125gr that you like why not just add weight to the front with a heavier insert or use PDP inserts with PDP weights to bring it up to 150grs..........DaveMP
Hard to beat a Simmons for putting blood on the ground.RC
Kustom King Trailmaker
I went with some 150 grain magnus stinger 4 blades and I also ordered some of the Muzzy Eichler 4 blades too.
I want to give a shout out to Tim at Braveheart for sending me a PM to try to help me with my lack of a paypal account. Much appreciated! I will definately make it a point to do business with him in the future.
And thanks to everybody who took the time to respond. There are a lot of good broadheads out there. Has me rethinking my own set up... Nah :archer2:
Good choices, Gregg. Tim is great to do business with. Many good suggestions besides the ones you picked too. I have used most of these broadheads, all with good results.

125 gr ACE epoxied to a 32 gr aluminum adapter! You'd love it!!!!! :thumbsup:
I've got some Ace broadheds and I like them. Might try it...
Another vote for Magnus , very sharp and fly true
