Broadheads

[Breakfast Boy]

VPA broadheads are probably the best of the best in my opinion.

The absolute bare minimum for how many grains of total arrow weight per pound of bow weight is 8 grains. Always check with bow builder to be sure. So you're shooting 45# which would give you a minimum arrow weight of 360gr. I personally like to keep my arrows at 9.6-9.8 grains per pound of bow weight. For the way I shoot and how I like my bows to perform and feel when shot, this is pretty much my rule of thumb.

Just remember when it comes to trad bows, broadhead sharpness and arrow weight does the killing. Kinetic energy and a well placed shot takes care of the rest.

My opinion only. Hope it helps.
By the way I shoot Montec 125 gr heads on a Carbon Express Heritage 250 arrow.

You will find folks on here with a vast knowledge of about any trad question you can think to ask. You won't find a better group anywhere period.

Best of luck

As mentioned broadheads are personal choice, and like Rob and others have said they all will get the job done if you hit the mark. I shoot only wood and shot many types and settled on Zwickey 4bld (yes glue on)they fly great for me and my second choice is the Woodsman.

 I say first pic the arrow type and make sure your form is good, and whatever field point you are using match the broadhead weight to that(125-145-160 grn and so on). Arrow flight and aiming are more of a priority than the head if you cant fly an arrow to the point your head wont have anything to cut.Just keep it simple in the begining and go nuts later on.

You didn't say what type of arrows you'll be using, but since you said "traditional" we can assume good honest wood arrows.      

I really have come to like the Stos 130 gr for sharpening and penetration.  The Magnus II 125 gr is a close second, or even a tie.  Both are as rugged as can be and great flying broadheads.

If you can get it razor sharp, it's a good bh. Personal preference applies. Switched to Ace 160gr but have used most 2-blades just about w/equal results. Have some Bear 125gr I've killed a lot of stuff with, Zwickeys & Magnus too. Have Stos 145gr NIP but never used them just yet.
