I am a compound convert new to trad archery at least new to the idea of hunting with it seriously. I would love to hear opinions on heads and weight. Really like the idea of the larger cut with a smooth transition and decent penetration.

Am quite fond of a Treeshark backed by a 100 gn insert for both deer and turkey.
Nearly cut this kitty in two. Thought I may have to check in two kitties.

Beautiful cat. My first trad kill was a chicken coop raiding Fox when I was 13. Love the predator hunting. I actually have some deltas but recently switched bows due to learning that a 58” bow does not like to be drawn to 30.5”. I just found a bear kodiak 60” 43pound at 28” clocked it at 49 pounds at my draw. Looking for suggestions for spine, insert, and tip weight. Just want a good whitetail setup. Thanks.

Simmons makes some good heads. I've only shot one pig with mine, around 100lbs, and it went nowhere.
Go to 3Rivers archery and use the spine calculator to help you configure an arrow set up. It will get you un the ball park.

I can afford to shoot most any bow I like. And I like Primal Tech bows.

I just ordered 6 today. One of the easiest heads to sharpen. I use a small round file then fine stick.
