I shoot 200 grain VPA broadheads (both two and three blade) or 200 grain wensel woodsmen broadheads from my 57 pound recurves.  I actually probably draw 54 or 55 pounds.

I shoot 125 grain magnus stingers from my 50 pound longbows.  Again, I probably draw 47 or 48 pounds.

I've shot others, but this is what I currently like and trust.

I can afford to shoot most any bow I like.  And I like Primal Tech bows.

[email protected]    575 grain total arrow weight. 150 grain VPA with 50 grain brass inserts total 200 upfront. I like the smaller 150 grain VPA verse the larger width 200’s with my setup for better penetration and less wind drag

Zwickey.  No Mercy & Delta primarily.  But I wouldn't hesitate to use an Eskimo or any other 2-blade head of similar design.  I can think of better heads but certainly not for the price & convenience of finding them anywhere.

Draw weight 45-48# at 27.5"  Arrow weights of 630 - 680 grains, though I may yet drop to something just under 600 this year.

I shot zwicky delta's for years out of all my bows, killed Deer, Elk, Bear and mountain lion with them when I lived in Montana, since I moved to Alaska I've killed Bears mainly with delta's and a few with 175 grain Ace and  moose with 190 grain Tuskers. At the present I'm using 190 Grizzly's single bevel.

I shoot Ace standard 160gr out of a 73# BBO. They have always done the trick and flown well so haven't messed with anything else.
Bring a compass because it's awkward when you have to eat your friends.

Never measure the mountain until you have reached the top, then you will see how low it is.

I’m currently shooting 52# out of my Mohawk longbow. I shoot cedar arrows with Zwickey Deltas, No Mercy or Magnus I broadheads. They e been doing the job for me for 40 years. No reason to change especially since I’ve got way more than I can use up since I only lose one occasionally after a deer looses it.
