My Longbow is 48lbs at 28inches and I pull about 29.  Just wondering if that's enough to shoot the snuffers. I love the size of them I think they'd be great for turkeys and whitetail I'm still a newbie to all this only a couple kills under my belt so maybe this is a dumb? Thank you all for everything as always.

Hey man you'll hear all the "light bow bashers" say you gotta go with a two blade head from anything under 50#"s but in my opinion a sharp three blade head (snuffer,woodsman)at reasonable shot distances will kill any turkey or whitetail. With tremendous bloodtrails to boot...

When my sons were small I mounted 2 blades for them thinking of better penetration with there 40#s bows, they might have been a little over 40 at there draw . They shot numerous deer that we couldn't find due to no blood trails. I switched them to snuffers and we found every deer after the switch. My son Damon killed a 7 foot 2 inch nose to tail  black bear with a 49 # longbow. I don't think you will have a problem . You'll be shooting at least 50#s at 29"

You're pulling about the same weight as me.  I put snuffers through the shoulders on 2 different deer. Entrance behind near shoulder, exit crushing through the far shoulder. Pass throughs. Both shots were about 15 yards and on the ground.  Love 3 blade heads!  Easy for me to sharpen too.

If it were me, I'd just go with the 125 grain and just make sure they are razor sharp and mounted so they spin true. I would also file the tip lightly to make a pyramid type tip to give it some strength. They should work fine for you at that draw.
