Broadhead Plan "B" needed...

Need plan B option for my September bear hunt...

I ordered some ferrules to make my Razorcaps 150 grains total and the wonderful person on a unnamed auction site had them backordered and didn't tell me (they were "available" when I ordered).  I had to call to find this out.

Anyway to plan B...I'm shooting Easton Axis 400's with 100 grain inserts/150 grain point to make a total of 250 out front.  I have some extra new shafts and I'm going to make 6 with 50 grain inserts and 6 with 125 inserts to give me options.

Option #1...50 grain brass HIT insert with a 160 grain grizzly and 42 grain adaptor.

Option #2...125 grain HIT adaptor (100 grain and the break-off 25 grain piece from the 75/50) with one of these three broadheads.
•   125 grain Stinger 4 blade
•   125 grain Simmons Shark 4 blade
•   125 grain NAP Hellrazor

Option #3...current set-up and one of the below broadheads.
•   150 grain NAP 2 blade (old school two blade)...I have a bunch of these.
•   150 grain Snuffer

I will shoot them all to rule any out that don't fly well...that being said if they all fly true what would be your first choice.  I'm leaning towards Option #2 with either a Stinger or Simmons Shark...both heads are great.  I don't want to spend any more on broadheads...I have way too many to get any more.  If you have some ferrules to make Razorcaps 150 grains I'd trade you some handmade Flemish strings.

Thanks,

Josh

Josh, last yr JD shot a snuffer and of the 30 or so bear i have tracked this one had one of the best blood trails.  my vote hands down is a SNUFFER!

Option 3 with Snuffers all day long.That way you won't have to change anything either.

if you can get some ferrules the razor caps look like a deadly head too

Oliverstacy

Pete I will see if they fly well...I like them also.  I just wanted to use my Razorcaps...they are great looking heads.

12 days and counting.

Kustom King bailed me out...a big thank you!  I ended up paying a touch more but I'm glad they could help me and they're shipping tomorrow and I should have them Monday or Tuesday!  That and they're a sponsor of the site...good to support all that support this site!

I'll get the blades sharpened up and hopefully one will meet a bear at about 190 fps in 11 days or so!
