3blade woodsmans 45lb bow

[RodL]

Anyone ever shoot a whitetail with these heads out of a 45lb bow? How was the penetration if you shoot them where you are supposed to? I'm shooting Beman 500 MFX shafts and was thinking about trying the 150gr. I'm currently shooting a 2blade head but was thinking about trying a 3blade and wanted some opinions before I spend the cash.

Rodney. They all work. The key is being SHARP!
A sharp broadhead adds weight to the bow. Regarding the Woodsman 3 blade.........I love them. Large holes and lots of blood. Used the same head for years........Philip

I've shot plenty of deer plus one boar with a 44# widow using snuffers, so i don't think you'll have to much trouble with the woodsman heads.

What he said.  Sharp is the key.

I shot the woodsman elites from a 45#er pulling about 38 for my first bowkill. penetrated to the fletches like it was nothing.  the woodsmans are great, and easy to sharpen to boot.

Agree with the posts set forth above.  Also, your arrows are going to be plenty heavy.  They should weigh around 550 grains with a 150 grain broadhead -- the Beamon MFX shafts are heavy.

sharp!!  they will be great.  They are cut on contact and they do!

I'm pulling 48 lbs. and and have had excellent penetration on the four doe I have taken with them.

Rodney, I killed an 8 pt. buck and a big gobbler with the woodsman 125 last year. They will do the trick.

I just picked up a 45# Super Kodiak and will be hunting with it this Fall with a 150 grain Phoenix head which is very much like a Woodsman Elite, except that it is single beveled.  I have complete confidence in the set up.

Rodney, I to shoot lower poundage bows. This one fell to a 47 lber with a WW tipped carbon. I will tell you something I have found for lower poundage bows is not shooting a head that is too wide. I believe after shooting many deer that a thinner profile head is invaluable for penetration. Of course thinner means less weight and weight is another important factor. I use 100 grain brass inserts and top it off with 100 grain broad heads. The 100 grain Woodsmans fit the bill perfectly in my opinion.

My wife shoots 45# @26" and this year I put a 200 grain Razorcap 3 blade (same profile as Woodsman) and she put two holes in a four pointer that hit in front of the right hip and exited the middle of the left lung area. He lived about 5 seconds.

All day long... Sharp and accurate

Agree with above and don't forget perfect arrow flight, nothing robs penetration like a poor flying arrow! Shawn

Thanks everyone, sounds like I should'nt have any trouble with them as long as they are sharp and the arrow is flying straight when they hit the where they are suppose to. I'm changing my shaft and broadhead setup this year, never had trouble with the old setup but wanted to try something new. Keeping everything in case the new setup doesn't work. Thanks again.
