If you were going to shoot grizzly broadheads what would you do

[shedhunta]

Need 200 grains upfront for whitetail.  Would you go with lighter broadhead and steel adapter, or heavier broadhead and aluminum adapter.  I am thinking heavier thicker broadhead but I am leary of the aluminum adapters breaking???

Just wanted some opinions

Thx in advance

I'd always go with a steel adapter first. That aluminum is much weaker than even a light steel broadhead. Probably won't matter much on whitetail, but still. Also, be sure they spin true!

Going to only 200 I'd probably grab the 155 and long alumnium adapter.  I like the steel but I'm not crazy about the short 75 grain version.

We have shot lots of deer with the original 160 grain Grizzlys with either the long screw in or long glue-on aluminum tapers, we never had either the broadheads or the ferrules bend or break.

I would do glue in glue on aluminum adapter and a 200 gr head.

Why not just get a solid one piece head, no adapter, Cutthroat broadhead. I've shot both, the difference is incredible!!!! I went for heavier head and aluminum adapter when i shot the grizzlies

If I had to shoot 200 hundred up front I would start with that 75 grain Abowyer titanium glue in adapter, then add the 130 Grizzly.

If you could push up to 250 up front, the 125 grain brass adapters at Ace are still very solid and MUCH cheaper. These are the ones I use on my normal arrows, but never in a weight lighter than 125gr.
My two cents,

Yes it is 250 grs for me with a 160-170 Kodiak and a 100 grs steel adapter,but I have also some with the aluminum adapters to make 200 and they never failed on wild boars so I wouldn't be too scared to use them on the whitetails

I second the titanium adpt. Mine are 35 grn. on a 160. puts me right where I want to be without sacrificing strength

[Zradix]

Heavy one piece head..no adapter..would be 1st choice.

Otherwise...I'd use a steel adapter.

I shoot the 120 grain grizzly broadheads with a long aluminum adapter, gives me around 165 grains. Its what I use for everything I hunt up to elk. Never had an issue with bending the adapter even with shooting into the shoulder and other heavy bone.  Last big bodied western kansas mule deer I shot I nearly cut the opposite side humerus in half with that broadhead set up. Broadhead was resharpened and back in the quiver.

steel adapter

I put the titanium adapter on my 160gr Cutthroat, perfect weight for me.

[Longbowlogan]

I have some 235 grain Kodiak's on 75 grain steel adapter's and they fly great! These heads can really get sharp in just a few minutes!

[hunterjrg]

T Folts which Ti adapter did you use and do you have a pic?
Thanks

a 75g titanium adapter and a 155 grizzly will give you 230g and will be plenty stout.
