I'm shooting stinger 150's, but am really considering the 150 samurai.200 grain Samurai single bevel. I've killed several deer with the 150 gr version. Nice heads.
You can easily 600 grains if you do 400 spine gold tips traditional xt because they have a 80 grain insert your well on your way specially with a 175 grain head plus. I’m shooting those this year out of a 49# longbow and I have 610grains for that setup and Simmons broadheads cut a nasty nasty hole. You won’t be disappointedShooting Magnus Stinger 150 grains with 50 grain inserts. Seriously considering going heavier setup. I know it’s late in the game but opener isn’t until early October and I don’t hunt very much before the end of October and from then on it’s every single opportunity including a weeks vacation early November. A couple of the single bevels I’m keeping my eyes on as well as the Simmons and wanted to know anyone’s experience with them. Been checking out the Helix, Kudus, and the Simmons so far. Current setup I’m shooting 500 grain Goldtip Traditionals out of a 48# Tolke Pika. If and when I do switch, either this year or next, I’m thinking GT Traditional Classics and would like to get at or around 600 grains.
I am still sticking with the last few 100gr 3 blade rage broadheads I have, I wish they still made them, I am not that big of a fan of their 2 blade models, but I have killed about 200 animals with the old 3 blades, I have never had a deflection or failure to deploy. I have actually killed 2 sika does with 1 shot with them. I have hung small pigs up on the hoist and seen daylight through them after shooting them with a 3 blade rage. Dang shame they discontinued them. I have a bunch of old ones that I have rebuilt. I know some folks don't like expandables, but I have a long track record with them and really believe in them!
Ahhhhhhhh........ now I see, sorry for the confusion. I thought it was under general discussion.I'm not shooting any mechanical head from my recurve. I'm hoping you posted in the wrong subforum.
If many you guys want more arrow weight grab some tubes from 3 rivers and easily add 50 to 75 more grains to your shaft. I remember years ago when carbon first came out a lot of us guys would add aquarium tubing to our arrows to get the added weight since there wasn’t many choices of heads and weighted inserts back then. Would blow thru deer like butter just another way to skin a cat so to speak
