broadhead wieght

[bowmaster12]

IM a new shooter i have yet to hunt with my recurve i shoot a ture 28" draw at 50# was wondering what wieght broadheads you professionals would recomend i come from a heavy compound backround and i understand the lack of speed of a recurve needs to be made up with a heavier arrow to keep up the kenetic energy im shooting carbon express hertiage 250 arrows with 125 grain points advice is greatly appreciated  target game deer and bear

stay with 125gr heads, but use 125gr adapters for a 250gr broadhead. this way you'll have a nice heavy head and a wide selection of b/heads to chose from in that 125gr weight range. then try 100gr inserts, for EFOC. trick is to find the shaft that will be in tune before it's to short, with the overall weight you want. try the equivilent of a g/tip 3555.

Make sure your bow is properly tuned with a weight you are happy shooting,  and then get some matching broadheads.

No sense in buying heads that won't end up working for you.

Magnus Stingers are hard to beat and would be my first suggestion once you're dialed in.  The 150's are the most popular with your fellow trad shooters.

What OZY said. Although I dont do this, I prefer one head over the others, so i just stick with that one. Do a search on here for " EFOC equation" or something like that, This will help you find what EFOC you are shooting, and then you can figure where you would like to be and how to get there.

If you are shooting 125 gn points and are in tune, you need to stay with 125 broads or you can switch point weight and retune to that weight
