What's your favorite 250 gr broadhead?
« on: March 14, 2014, 10:50:00 PM »
Just curious if there are any options I'm missing.

I've been interested in 3 blades lately, but 2 or 4 might work. I shoot carbons so I'd have to use an adapter if using a glue on head.

I only shoot VPA 2 blade and VPA 3 blade. Both are 250 gr. screw in, hate adaptors, My 3 blade are 1 1/4 cut. A little bigger than the standard 1 1/8. I like 'em.

X2 on the VPA two blade penetrator.  The 250 head is solid!

I took a 60 grain screw and epoxied it into the back of my insert with a 190 grain treeshark for 250 grains.

Without doubt my favorite is the VPA 1 1/4" screw-in...
•  

Extremely easy to sharpen, tough as nails, fly just like a field point, and silent in flight.

Killed a truck load of critters with them.

The 1 1/4" may be a bit hard to find, but the regular 250gr screw-in's(with I've used many times successfully as well) are easy to find. Many TG sponsors carry them.

Cade used the VPA 250gr. 2 blade screw-in last fall, and ran one right thru a whitetail and stuck it 4 inches in the ground beyond...he was only shooting about 43# @ 23"!

The whole line of Vantage Point Archery broadheads are top notch....don't hesitate one bit to use any one of them!!

I've also thought about any of the three blade or two blade that are 125 grain glue ons with a 125 grain adapter.

Tx,

Call Steelforce and they can make up about whatever you want. They can do single bevel or razor sharp pointed tip double bevel. They'll make them up to 300grs, at least.

I shoot carbons as well and use a 100 grain brass insert with a 150 grain 4 blade Magnus Stinger for a total weight of around 530gr.  No problem getting a pass thru on deer.
Do not follow where the path may lead.  Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.

My favorite combo so far.

Woodsman Elite or VPA screw-in three blade heads.  They are basically the same thing in the 175grain and up weights.  Easy to sharpen and fly as well as anything I've tried.

250 is what I like to shoot and I made my fine tuning based on that weight. Most broadheads are well designed but I love the VPA 3 blade 1-1/4,very easy to sharpen.
For wild boar I am using the Simmons Tree Shark  with the 100 grs adapter as well.
For elk both the Tuff Head and the Aboyer.
The Grizzly Kodiak is one of my prefered too.

VPA 3-blade. Bad medicine for elk, whitetail and the occasional zombie.

You did ask about 250gr heads, not combos. Abowyer 250 screw in. Tough, dependable head.

If I wanted to use a 250 grain head...

I'd order a VPA 3 blade and never look back...

I was thinking of using the woodsman and adding a 125 adapter.

TxAg-
That would be a good broadhead in the weight you want, but why mess with an adapter when you could just buy a VPA screw-in in that weight?  No worries about getting the broadhead aligned and one less thing to go wrong.  Like Zradix said, I would buy the VPA.  They are a great head.

I hear you, but I figure why not get 6 broadheads for the price of 3?

My vendor has the Woodsman for $3 less than the VPA.  You must have found a good deal on the Woodsman.  For that much difference I would probably use adapters too!
