View Full Version : Need Broadhead Input for My Daughters Bow

I just picked up my Daughters Christmas present, a Parker Buckshot. I had her fitted awhile back and she is pulling 30lbs right now at 9 (will be 10 in April) and I'm hoping she will be able to pull 35lbs by he time next season gets here.
Anyways I'm looking for some input on some Broadheads for her. I'm a big fan of Slick Tricks but with her slower moving Arrow I'm looking for a cut on contact head.
All input would be great.
Thanks

RazorCaps were the first thing that popped in my head..

At 12 years of age, pulling about 37 pounds my daughter had a pass through with a Thunderhead 85.

Game Tracker used to make a "First Cut" broadhead that was a 2-blade cut-on-impact broadhead....not sure if its still around though. You could get it in 85gr.

The Montec's would be great and should last her a long time. Plus they are easily resharpend, they are one piece fixed blade, so no worrys about blades falling out or breaking when shot. Yes they are a little expensive but in the long run I think they would be a long lasting investment.

I would suggest a 2 blade cut on contact head for the low draw weights. Less resistance means more penetration. With that said I'd recommend a Magnus Stinger in 85 gr.http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/content/Item/41/53/87/i415387sq02.jpg

Check out those made by Steelforce. These things are pretty wicked and a nice long blade without the steep blade angles. My stepfather uses them in his Hoyt at 39#. I picked them just for his light poundage set up. He has not taken a deer yet (he came close this year but I think he was so in awe of being so close to the young buck undetected that all he could do was watch:lol: He's new to the world of bowhunting...just his second full year). These things penetrate the layered style targets very well. Seems to have plenty of KE to get the job done at modest ranges, he's limited himself to 20 yards and in, and with a well placed shot, he won't have any trouble.

I would think a slick trick would be perfect for her set up. I know a few older guys shooting 40 to 50 pound bows and they routinely get pass throughs with them. Id stick with what you know and have experince with.

I shoot the same bow @ 40 lbs and I use 100 gr thunderheads.

My wife shoots 42 lbs. and has been using 75 grain Muzzy's for a few years
now. She has taken around 5 deer now and all have passed through except one. The one was a spine shot, it dropped like a sack of potatoes.

This was gonna be my suggestion too. They are nice broadheads and shoot good.

100 grain Magnus Stinger would be an excellent choice for a low poundage bow. They fly great and slice through deer like butter!!

I second the montec g-5. My wife shoots their 85 grain and pulls about 40 lbs. I have also switched to the 85 grain with my bow. They shoot fantastic and cut thru like a hot knife thru butter.

I shot my first deer with the muzzy 125 and broke ribs. Muzzys have all the mass at the point which helps out the arrow through the deer.

I'd go with Montec 100 grn.

Thanks guys
I'm not a fan of any of the Broadheads from the Montec line after shooting them.
I love the Slick Tricks but not sure if its the best thing for a low poundage Bow.
I like the look of those Magus Stingers and I think something along that type of head may be the best thing for her.

Another GREAT thing about the Magnus line is the Lifetime warranty on their broadheads. A no questions asked policy too. Ruin one and they will replace it for free.;)

What did you not like about the g-5 montec broadheads? They fly better than any other fixed blade broadhead i have ever shot. Just curious so i can look out for the possiblity. I have killed several deer with the 85 grain montecs shooting 62 lbs at around 307 fps. Very very lethal.
