I have recently went down in poundage and would still like to shoot my Woodsman heads. I am shooting a JK Traditions longbow 53# @ 28, but my draw length is only 25. I never had any trouble with my 60# recurve but wondering about others experience with the woodsman and shooting 45# with a short draw length

My grandson is 12 his bow is 40# and his draw length is short also, he is probably pulling 35#. Kiefer has killed 3 adult deer (two bucks and a doe) in the last 3 years using a Wensel Woodsman. I think they are the best head for a light bow .

Yes, for a lower draw weight bow, I would think a long slender 3 blade would penetrate just fine. Woodsman or VPA.

I hunt with Woodsman broadheads with a 47# bow, which is about what you would be pulling after you factor in the difference in draw length. Because of the 3 blades, it is more important than ever that they be sharp. I use the wood block with two offset files, but a quick glance at the internet didn't come up with them, so they might not be available anymore. Plenty of other methods out there, though.
