The Hawk

Killed two elk last fall with the Woodsman Elite 200 grain solids. They did the job but, I just can't seem to get them as sharp with the three blade angle as I would like. I shot a whitetail with a 220 grain Muzzy Phantom, 4 blade with the bleeder (shaving sharp right out of the package) and it was scary! Blood like I have never seen it and the buck made it 17 yards. I like sharp, sharp, sharp! Going to try the Phantoms on elk this fall.

1st identify the targetted game in conjunction with your total set-up. 2nd... using the search function, will provide a plethera of information.

LONGSTYKES

I use Grizzlies 200gr or Muzzy Phantom without the bleeders at 200gr. Any 2 or 3 blade that fly well and are sharp, sharp.

With my very heavy arrow setups for both of my light poundage bows, I've been using a 2 blade 130 grain STOS.

But, this year, I'm going to a light arrow setup shooting a 2212 arrow. I'm getting the maximum speed out of both of my bows with a 75 grain point weight, but there are no 2 blade 75 grain broadheads. With that said, I'm going to borrow a page from the compound shooters and I'm going to use a 3 blade, 1" wide Muzzy 75 grain broadhead.

Since it's a 3 blade broadhead and I'm shooting light poundage bows, the more I think about it, I'm going to limit myself to broadside lung shots (my favorite) at 15 yards and under.

STOS and Magnus MA-125 (both 125 gr) single blades.  Easy to sharpen, relatively inexpensive and great penetration on a 640 to 660 gr all-up weight arrow.  I have had great luck finding deals on the Magnus heads by watching the classifieds here and on other sites.

I knock just a bit of a skew tip into either for point strength.

 

The middle head is a RibTek 125S.  I've had good results on deer with those, too, but they are no longer imported and I relegated mine to secondary duty as small game heads.  VERY rugged and they used to be very low price.

I have to agree If i'm hunting Hogs, or Elk I love a 2 blade for the penitrasion Magnus 1 with insert 215 gr.  For Turkeys the BIG SNUFFER again 215 with insert.  For deer and bear 8 times out of 10 the big snuffer!!  If I'm hunting with a back quiver or my lighter poundage bows then the Magnus 2 blade.
It's not the size of the game you take that means Success!
It's the experience of pursuing game that give true Outdoor Success!!!!!

   i would have to say try broadheads out and see what fly's best outa your set up i like stingers an grizzlys best but i can get em super sharp and thats half the battle if you can sharpen them well and an they fly good use em just MHO take care jake

awbowman

I shoot 125 gr Magnus buzzcuts with 50 grain inserts.  536 grains total weight out of a 50# bow
62" Super D, 47#s @ 25-1/2"
58" TS Mag, 53#s @ 26"
56" Bighorn, 46#s @ 26.5"

TURKEYFOOTGIRL

I like concave heads such as the sharks and centaur big game head for their penetration and the hole they leave.  I personally buy glue on heads and add steel adapters to get the weight as close to 250 grains as i can.   Oh yeah... with the reduced steel in a concave head you tend to get awesome flight with a wide head.

I like the 125 grain Woodsman.  Why?  They fly great for me.  They are easy to sharpen.  Hold a razor sharp edge.  They have 3 blades instead of 2, (absolutely nothing wrong w/ 2 blades), thus have more cutting surface.  They penetrate well.  For deer, I believe I've gotten better blood trails w / them than a 2 blade.. I would not be afraid to go after an elk or moose w/them either.

On my carbons, I shoot 160 grain screw in zwickey eskimo 2 blade.  I love them and can get them rediculously sharp.  On my woodies I like 145 grain stos.  Again, I can get them extremely sharp.

I know Muzzy has the 2 blade Muzzy 85 grain broadhead. I've looked at it. Magnus also has the 2 blade Stinger 85.

If I had to choose between the two of these broadheads, I would choose the narrower of the two broadheads and the nod would go to the 2 blade Stinger 85 because it's only 7/8" wide. The Muzzy 85 is wider. The Stinger 85 would probably work better with my 42# and 37# bows.
