Really heavy broadheads

[NorthShoreLB]

Peschek, 190gr field points are sold by 3RIVERS, what you can't find in 190gr are blunts,..but that's an easy fix with the TARANTULA

Get SCA arrowheads. You know, the geeks that dress up in armor and play fight, they make REALLY heavy broadheads for that. Of course they are not sharp at all, but a half hour with a grinder and they are perfect. I have one on my new arrows, and its around 345 grains at the tip. I think about 600-700 or somewhere overall. The thing is, Im shooting a 45# bow, and that arrows is flying better than any other I have at hunting distances. And its by far the hardest to get out of the target, it blows through almost everything, boxes, hay, tree bark....

Michael, we have 190 grain 11/32" field points in stock.  As you might imagine a popular item with our Grizzly 190 shooters.

I want to move to a 190 grain head. I will be shooting 11/32" wood shafts what do you guys do for field points? The heaviest they make for 11/32" is 160 grain.

I've got 11/32 190gr field tips. Go to tradbits.com.au

I asked a similar question recently, and a couple Trad-Gangers recommended 'woodyweights' which was the perfect solution for me.  They are tapered steel adapters that you glue onto wood arrows, and then you glue any broadhead you like onto that.  They come in 25 grain increments, from 75 grains to 200 grains.  I ordered the 200 grain ones to try with 160 grain STOS broadheads.  My arrows fly great!

There ya go! I'm shooting 160 Stos with 75 grain Woody Weights, but could go higher. How about that 200 grain Ace with a BIG Woody weight? Lots up front. They fit the arrow taper really well and the broadhead taper. Mine spun true after I put them on. Good luck.

I have been going through the same problem getting heavy weight heads for my heavy wood shafts. The woody weights work in getting good arrow flight but then the thin blade on the broadhead becomes the weak part. I shoot each broadhead arrow several times to make sure they are flying right and have noticed that after 8 t0 10 shots some of the heads no longer spin true. On examination they all have very slight bend at the end of the ferrel. This happened to both the tusker 175 and the 175 ace with 75 gr woody weights for an arrow in the 800-850+ range. My guess is that the heavy spinning shaft and the twisting on impact is more than the .036 to .040 blades can take repeatedly. A stronger head with a .070 to .090 blade thickness might be a better way to go and get the overall weight up.

Check with Todd. I don't think the new, heavy STOS will be out before deer season is over, but it might be ahead of the projected schedule. I concur, we NEED some really heavy glue-on STRONGLY BUILT broadheads; and not just for the woody shooters. I did a tiny bit of testing this year with some Ultra Extreme FOC arrows (those above 30% FOC) from a little 40# recurve, and was REALLY impressed with the results. Plan to do a lot more with them next year - assuming I'm able to.

You'll HAVE to be able to Doc...otherwise I'll havta do the testing for ya hehehe...

All is still chaos with this moving house but...while the shed isn't ready for workshops, the archery gear has it's own cubby-house and the bows are 'resting' on my spare bed till I get a new rack up for them.

This girl knows what's important
   

Mum was having a winge about my backyard being too big...clamed up and storked off when I said "but it'll give me a fantastic shooting lane when I'm set up" hehehe  

We'll just put you up under the mango tree when you come back down under and you'll be all set to go.

Keep exercising and get yourself better boy

I look forward to that test Dr. Ashby.
 
 I use to search threw my pile of wood shafts for the heaviest I could find but my new way of thinking is to find the lightest I can which isn't going to be easy since now I have to move up in spine and make up the weight with broadhead instead of arrow mass to attain the 10-12 gpp I like.

[Dr. Ed Ashby]

Under the mango tree?          Now, you know that I ate so many mangoes while living in Africa that I can't look at one without having nightmares of "the attack of the monster mangoes".      

Are the tools sorted and out yet, where you can build that new bow rack? A range in the yard. Now, THAT will be a useful addition! Looks like you will have LOTS of time to get ALL the work done well before I'll be repaired!
