Broadhead advice
« on: August 17, 2012, 05:29:00 PM »
I'm hunting hogs this year with my 102# Schultz and 850 grain Doug Fir arrows . Any advice on two or three blade broadheads would be greatly appreciated ?

With that poundage I would use a wide three blade. I don't think penetration would be an issue. Just make sure its razor sharp.

Use a two blade if you are concerned about penetration.

With that arrow weight and poundage I would go with the 3 blade VPA's

102# bow and a 850 gr arrow, wow! VPA 3 blade would work great with your set-up. They make several different weights and are a fine sponsor here.

I have had pretty good luck with 160gr Snuffers out of my bows.  I wouldn't mind trying a Tree Shark or one of the big Centaur heads with that weight bow.

Tower,
I'm shooting 750gr Douglas Fir, 165gr Simmons Interceptor, and 125gr woody weight. Total weight of 1015gr from my 102# Bamabow. The arrow seems light for DF, but the spine is right. Just not certain it really is DF.

Have never really cared for 3 blade heads, always preferred 2 blade penetration. But then I guess with these bows it wouldn't really be a problem would it?
Maybe try the 300gr 3 blade from Big Jim? Bet it would make 2 NICE holes!

with a 102# I think a blunt would work just fine.

Not real concerned about penetration . Broken many hog shoulders with my 90# and 2 blade . Hadn't ever tried it with a 3 blade , was just curious about the thoughts on penetration with a 3 blade and if it was a no-no !

With 102 lb bow surely your question was tongue in cheek for hogs. Use whatever broadhead strikes your fancy but make sure it is sharp. If you don't, it don't matter what poundage you use. Good luck to you sir!

Andy (Tradtusker) has been having great results through bone with the VPA 3 blade. I prefer a 2 blade single bevel head as I can get them sharper than any other type of head.
