Back when I was a kid I practically memorized Illinois' book.  Back then I believe it was 7/8" "non-barbed" broadhead.   I don't you'll find anywhere in the states that *required* larger than 1 1/8".

ozy,

I'd hit the provinces web site and find out what, if any, requirements they have for broadhead width.

From the Alaska hunting regulations book.
“broadhead” means an arrowhead with two or more sharp cutting edges having a minimum cutting diameter of not less than seven-eighths inch (7/8").

In PA it used to be 1" for all big game but i think they just changed it to 1" for elk only and 7/8" for deer.
