Title: If you were to pick a 125 grain broadhead
Post by: Hoosierarcher88 on April 26, 2020, 08:50:26 PM: If you were to pick a 125 grain screw in broadhead what would it be. I normally shoot 300 grain screw ins with my heavier bows but my newest setup is really liking an aluminum arrow with 125 grain tip combo. I know there isnt much for 3 to 1 ratio heads in this light of a broadhead which leaves me scratching my head a bit. I know magnus and silverflame both offer a 125 screw in but trying to figure out what other options i may be overlooking and which one may perform better on deer than the magnus stinger.

You do need to watch the 'barbed' part if it's applicable to your state (not an issue here in Oz). It is only in single bevel though.

Post by: Paul Fithian on April 27, 2020, 09:37:32 AM: Strickland Helix. I bagged 7 deer with these in 125g this past season.

Post by: Rock 'N Bow on April 27, 2020, 10:06:08 AM: I shoot 2016 and 2018 aluminum. I use a glue in/on broadhead adapter with a glue on Zwickey or Magnus. Either 135gr Deltas or 125gr Magnus II.

Post by: BowMIke on April 27, 2020, 10:18:47 AM: Magnus Stinger with or without insert is a good choice.
Title: Re: If you were to pick a 125 grain broadhead
Post by: Sam McMichael on April 27, 2020, 02:31:24 PM: I used Bear, Magnus, and Zwickey when I used screw in heads. Since then, I use these same brands in glue on.

Post by: stagetek on April 27, 2020, 06:03:54 PM: Snuffers and Magnus II's. Both 125gr. and both screw ins.

Post by: 1whitetail1 on April 27, 2020, 07:20:11 PM: I would go to a VPA. Top quality. Very precisely made.

Post by: Huntschool on April 27, 2020, 07:26:35 PM: I am shooting "recent old school". Zephyr Scirocco at 125 and the bigger Sasquatch at 135. This outfit is out of business but I now have a stash that should last me till I cant shoot any more.

They are unmounted so you can choose your screw in adaptor for added weight.

Both cut real nice and are, in my estimation, easy to touch up. I like em. They go in one side and come out the other with all my bows 45# and 52#.

Post by: Trumpkin the Dwarf on April 27, 2020, 07:28:28 PM: VPA, Iron Will, or Magnus Stinger were my top choices when i thought my new longbow would tune out with 125 grain heads. premium. Possibly the Cutthroat heads by RMSGear.
Title: Re: If you were to pick a 125 grain broadhead
Post by: Wudstix on April 28, 2020, 12:24:56 AM: For a light head I’d probably go 3 blade, Woodsman, Snuffer, or VPA. They all are worth their weight in gold or venison.

Post by: slatty on April 28, 2020, 02:35:03 AM: I agree with VPA as has been suggested. I recently had the great fortune to acquire some iron will broadheads and I must say am extremely impressed.

Post by: KyStickbow on April 29, 2020, 12:49:22 AM: 2-blade Magnus Stingers. My favorite head!
Title: Re: If you were to pick a 125 grain broadhead
Post by: Steelhead on April 29, 2020, 01:29:12 AM: Another vote for Stinger.I like the price point for the quality.I also really like the diamond tip thats strong and helps to prevent tip curl on bone hits.The ones I have had shave hair out of the package.I shoot the 150 grain 2 blade.
