I think I'd swap out the Muzzys for a cut-on-impact head, but other than that you should be fine, assuming proper tuning.

Ya can keep the muzzy as long as that troctar tip is sharp and new, but I would op for a set of new heads.More than anything I think I would bump out those 2013's and get some 2016,2018's to bump up a little weight

I'd go heavier and cut-on-impact for penetration. That Montana will handle the job. Good luck!

10 grains per pound and a good sharp, cut-on contact head, needle tip slightly blunted.

Go with a cut-on-impact 2 blade BH!!! A Stinger would be great for your setup.

I'd opt for a 2 blade head. If you don't want to sharpen your own, go with a Magnus stinger. Great head !!!

Im using a very similar set up(45#, 2016, magnus stinger 125), and the magnus stingers fly great. A cut on contact head will help with penetration, aka passthroughs. Good luck bro.

agree or take the blades off the broadhead and sharpen the flat points on a fine diamond stone and that point will shave hair!
but try to get the stinger 2- blade buzz-cuts or something thats cut on contact and razor sharp right from the pack as you might not have a nack at sharpening broadheads just yet and there may be other stuff (like hitting that spot) to worry about so yeah 2- blade stingers--> get a extra set of blades because you'll need to take some shots with these broadheads too..

Get rid of the muzzys and you will be in great shape. I killed a deer last year with a 46lb. recurve and got complete penetration using an axis shaft and a 2 blade eclipse. If you are going to use a 3 blade head then I highly recommend a wensel woodsman. They are the best penetrating 3 blade head out there.
