Hill Shooters??

[3Feathers]

What grn. broadheads are you using on your wood arrows for whitetails?Also how heavy of a arrow with broadhead?Anybody using these longer bows for turkeys?

[khardrunner]

Depends on what poundage, draw length etc. I tune the arrows to fit the bow and use whatever weight flies well. Any decent broadhead should be more than adequate for a whitetail if it's sharp, tuned, and pointed at the vitals.

I've always use Magnus 2 blade 125gr. with POC shafts.

I used this setup for a boar.  Imagine would get a clean pass through with the whitetail as long as no heavy bone is hit.  My arrow are 580 grain cedar, 225 tuffhead.  I shot that hog quartering away and got into the vital with a high and back shot.  I avoided the shield.  Shooting Hill bows 8-12 grains per pound in that range I think is best.  Like a heavier arrow for hogs.  I like to shoot the same setup for both.  Never heard anyone complain about too much penetration.

I shoot surewood shafts with 160gr Ace Standards out of a #60 Big Five. Total arrow weight is right around 620gr.

I've shot more hogs than deer with 125gr. broadheads, mostly were complete pass-thru.

STOS 145 and 160 grainers. I have been playing around alot with woody weights lately to get a high FOC and higher overall weight and I have been very satisfied with them.

I,m tring to get some cedars over 500grns. not easy to do.I,m using zwickey eskimos.Might have to try the woody-weights.

tradlongbow, just curious--were those pass-throughs on boar hogs with tough shields?  I just got two down there in your great state last week--shooting 50# Treadway bow and 525 grn arrows-- GT Trads with Zwickey two blades.  Double lunged both but sure couldn't get through both shields.

I use 135 gr Zwickeys and Douglas Fir shafts(630 total weight) out of my 70# Hill Tembo. Also just started shooting 160gr Hill heads with DF(680 total weight) also.

My bows are around 60# at my draw, They dont feel good unless my arrow is up 650-700g. Magnus 1 160 or Snuffer, Eclipes bumped up to 160-175g or a 200g VPA 3 blade 1-1/4". I'm gonna get some of the big Ace 200.

Hill bows are kinda like a diesel, there just as fast fully loaded (heavy arrow) as they are empty (light arrow).

Definately gonna try a turkey with it this year, last 2 years I got swindled outa turkey season by work, but now I my own boss so I guess I can make the rules.

My preference is 70" ntn for everything. Currently, my 750 gr woods include 2-blade Ace 160gr bh's.

Same as Buddy -

160 Ace Standard
69"HHA 54@27 - 518gr total wgt.

Plenty good for Whitetails

I'm at 800 for this year with 270 upfront and a 70" Redman which I plan to use with my gillie for turkey. Haven't shot a turkey yet but I'm eager to keep trying. Love the heavy weights momentum.

[David Yukon]

Smoke1953, what weight bow is that 800gr arrows going out of??

[Stone Knife]

I'm shooting a 66" Big Five 48# @28, shooting a 55/60 sitka spruce with a 160 gr head.
