What kind of broadheads are you using?

Depends on the bow, what bow and poundage are you shooting?

Rage 125gr hypodermic in the crossbow and keep one with 125gr G5 Montec in quiver for hogs, one of those has killed one deer,4 hogs and a rattle snake.

Compound G5 125gr and 125gr Rage hypodermic

Recurve 150gr Magnus Stinger

I'm using the Rage Hypodermic NC for deer.

Bear G2 Cruzer. 70# draw but is dialed back some.

Grizzly 150g two bladed cut on contact 2 2/3 long 1" wide. Because Pas Thru is Everything with traditional.

I've been using Rage Hypodermics for years. No complaints.

The Montec G5 is a killer.

I’ve been using Grim Reapers and rage for deer. Using NAP hellrazors for hogs.

I've been using rocket sidewinders and Wasp Jackhammers.


This year gonna try the Rage Trypan and 3 Blade Chisel tip. I still like the Wasp Jackhammers though.

100 grain NAP spitfire. Double digit deer kills and all have been good short blood trails.

This is what I use, with success

How are the blood trails with that head? 7/8th’s cutting diameter is pretty small

This will be my first year bow hunting. I'm going the heavy arrow route and will be shooting 200gr Grizzly Stick Maasai single bevel broadheads, total arrow weight at 571 grains. We'll see how things go

Slick Trick all day long!

curious. Whats your draw weight and length. Thats alot of arrow.

100 grain spitfire with bow and 100 grain Slick Trick with Xbow.

I'm new to archery, so as I was doing my best to educate myself online I came across a guy on YouTube called the Ranch Fairy. He has some pretty compelling videos about arrow weight and FOC as they pertain to passthrough. He provided enough data to make me want to take this route and give it a try. I chose Grizzly Stick because they also subscribe to Dr. Ashby's research that the Ranch Fairy covers. They built my arrow set up based on my draw weight and length.

While practicing in my garage (from 20 yards out) I was a little high and hit the shallow end of my wedge bag target. The arrow went through the bag and buried 2" deep into a 4x4 leg on my workbench.

Make sure and practice your yardages real well. That arrow is going to drop like a rock.

On mechanical I’m a Evolution HYDE guy and ulmer

On fixed a run a combo of Solid and Ironwill. Think Im down to one solid left, after that I’ll just stick to iron will

I’m getting really good groups at 10, 20, & 30 yards. I don’t plan to shoot beyond that until I’m get some more practice under my belt.

Best advice even if you arent going to shoot at longer ranges. Make it a habit to practice at longer ranges. I typically shoot my bow starting at 70 yards and work my way in. This will help train your muscles to hold that pin steady. As you move in you will find the 30 and 40 yard shots to be easy. Thats assuming you are shooting a multi pin or adjustable pin sight. I shoot a single pin trophy ridge. Once i started shooting longer distances in practice my confidence has increased dramatically. Also i really like watching John Dudley on youtube. Nock on Archery is the channel. He also likes the heavy arrow setup. I have found more success with a lighter arrow. I shoot Gold Tip Kinetic Pierce Platinum 340 spine and a 100gr broadhead. No penetration problems. 70lb draw 30"

Thanks for the tips, I’ll certainly give practicing at longer range a try.

This is what I use. 100 grains. Diamond Edge SB1. I have it set around 65lbs.

GrimReaper Hybrids.”Watch’em Drop”

Magnus Stingers 100g 4 blade. Still have some 2 blade ones I use also. Some of the heads have taken several deer and hogs. A quick hit on the stone and they are ready to go again.

Iron Will and Slick Trick

I run a Magnus Stinger 150 gr when I'm hunting in TX and switch to a Rage Hypodermic 125gr when I'm in AZ.

That's a beast of an arrow!!! I'd really like to see that one zip through a big pig. It's funny, I was running brass inserts with my 150gr Stingers just to get my FOC up and they ripped a big Blackbuck like paper. Good luck this year, I'd like to know how you do and if you keep your same setup post-season.

I use the NAP DK4 100 grain. Flys like a dart and makes huge holes. Watched my BIL shoot a fallow with it the other week. It ran 40-50 yards gushing blood upon impact. It’s a cross between mechanical and fixed. Has spitfire blender blades and the “fixed” blade swivels.

Don't look at it as 7/8 as a traditional broadhead. I used one last year, and the results were devastating. Look at coring effect and the diameter of each blade.

I've used Rocky Mountain Warheads, NAP Spitfires, Toxic, and some Blackout Expandables. All work. Accuracy is key. Always. None of mine have gone over 50 yards.

60 lbs at 29”
QAD Exodus Broadhead Full Blade 125 grain for deer & hogs
GrizzlyStik Samurai Overkill single bevel 125 grain for nilgai

My favourite brand is the ShootStraightAndHitThemInTheRightPlace and the Model is WhatIFoundOnSale.

update.....the 3 Blade Rage leaves a big freaking hole!

I'm gonna try out the NAP Killzone this year for deer and will shoot whatever random stuff I have at pigs lol

huge, what you don't realize that while only 7/8ths of an inch it is an open hole, not slices. blood pours out

I'm shooting traditional archery & have been using Magnus Stinger 2 blades this year & I've killed 2 does & a pig.

I ended up shooting both my deer this year with a fixed NAP Hellrazor. Neither one left a drop of blood hardly. Shot a bunch of pigs this year so it just seemed easier to use the fixed. Probably go back to mechanicals on the deer next year.

Rage Trypans for me. I like the big holes Rages make.

I've always been a Rage fan but don't use them as often anymore. I really liked the G5 Havoc's but I heard they quit making them. I still have a cpl that are new.
I picked up a pack of the grim Reaper Micro Hades 4 blade this year. Watch Em Drop.
Im also fan of Slick Tricks.

I want to try the new Grim Reaper Micro Hybrid but just haven't bought any yet.

Im the guy who usually has a 6 arrow quiver and I will have 5-6 different broadheads in it!

Update update:

Blade rage worked fine but I did not like the Trypan.

I went back to using the Jackhammers

Magnus 125 Stingers. Before that’s I shot NAP Thunderheads and tried Rage for a short stint.

Exodus 125gr. Fly with my FP's out to 70yrd. Wicked sharp, and punch great holes!

I use rage hypodermics on both my compound and x-bow

I don't bow hunt much anymore but when I do I still use the Rothar Snuffers that I bought many years ago. Glad I bought quite a few back then.

I've shot Slick Tricks 100 grain for many years.

Same here

I've been using the original Rage Hypodermics (100 grain). Great on deer, elk, and javelina. Worked great even when I made a marginal shot on a fox and a coyote. Will switch to Rage Hypodermic NC when I run out of the original Hypodermics.
