Broadheads???

[landman]

Ok
Got the xbow
But broadhead ???

Looking at
Rage xbow X 2 blade
Or
G5 T3 xbow

Anyone?

Or something better?

BSK?
Bowriter?
Wes!
?

BSK & Bowriter knapp their own heads from flint.
I believe Bowriter learned this skill sometime back in the Stone Age, and later taught BSK during the Medieval Period.
But anything modern and sharp that shoots accurately will work fine.

I personally prefer a quality fixed blade, although I don't think the brand matters as much as whether they're sharp and shoot accurately for you in your set-up.

I'm using 150gr 4-bladed Slick Tricks.

Have experimented with several mechanicals, just prefer the "less to go wrong" aspect of fixed blades.

Bowriter has been using the NAP Killzone in a crossbow with great results. I'm not sure if he used the regular or crossbow model, so you may want to shoot him a pm.

Jimmy,


what x-bow did you end up buying?

 

[lungpuncher1]

T3 without a doubt. The rage are good heads but they require so much energy to open they don't always give you pass thru. Here is a link to a broadhead test somebody did on archerytalk. Pretty hard to argue with these results.

Wasp jackhammers sst 125gr. Go to cabelas web site, over 100 reviews on them and listed as a 5 star, I've used them last two years with Xbow. Shot a deer opening day last year droped it. And that afternoon took my first hog with same broadhead. Dropped as well broadhead still ready to be shot again this year, by far the srongest broadhead I've used. Including rage, swacker, and a few NAP broadheads.

Ive been useing the spitfire maxx for a few years.I killed 5 deer with it last year from 5 to 45 yds and all deer was recovered and had pass thru on all shots. They leave some nasty holes.

I am considering purchasing a crossbow myself, if I do I will be using slick tricks or spitfire maxx..... Really like the slick tricks tho....

Thunderhead 100gr. 125 gr would prob be better for xbow

 

[Bone Collector]

I use the thunder head 100 gr. like Catman said 125's may be better, but I have had no issues with the 100's.

Like others said, make sure they shoot accurately out of your set up and that they are sharp.

^^^^What he said. I have never even shot a crossbow but if I did, it would be a fixed broadhead, the same as I shoot in my compound.

Read alot of good reviews on the 150 gr Slick Tricks.

 

[in the dog house]

I shot a 315fps Xbow and use 100 gr. 2 blade rage and love them! Huge entrance and usually bigger exit holes. Never had one open in flight. Ive shot over 30 deer with these and had maybe 5 that needed the blades changed. Most will need a new O ring, but you get extras with the pack you buy.

excalibur x-act 100 gn mechanical


never look back have killed 15 or so with them from 40 lbs dressed to 179 lbs dressed all die quick

[deadeye 77]

[Snake]

Muzzy 100gr.

100 grain swhacker hands down, the are very durable and fly just like a field tip. I started using these two seasons ago and I've killed 5 deer with them and none of them made it farther than 50 yards and the blood trails were unreal! I've used muzzy's rage and g5's and none of these compared to the swhacker's.
