huntdux Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 I know there are a ton of threads about broadheads, but not many on low poundage bows. My wife is shooting a Hoyt Trykon Sport at 40 lbs. I am thinking of going with the G5 Montec 85 grains. I am open to suggestions with this one, anyone have luck with something else at a light draw weight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakota Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 I shoot a 52" 43# Fred Bear Kodiak Magnum recurve and a custom made 62" 46# longbow. I use 2114 aluminums and Magnus Stinger two-blade (with two mini blades on the side) broadheads. This same arrow/broadhead set up could be used out of a compound as well. Good luck!

Gator Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 Magnus Stingers, SCARY sharp and have a lifetime guarantee, and the fly like darts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bighoytman Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 broadheads for low poundage Well my son shot alpine micro 38 pounds with a 2 blade mangus broad head at 20 yards went in behind shoulder out all the way to feather thru far shoulder at 20 yards.Wasp makes the sharp shooter 1 inch cut on contact two blade or 4 blade with bleeders blade in.The land shark is another cut on contact head with sweeping blades should work well with low poundage.The B52 montec two blade ( 50 pounds kills hogs )with this head.The G5 85 grain might work well also.

bighoytman Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 broadheads for low poundage Steel force would be another cut on contact head to look at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 On a lower poundage bow I'd pick the Striker over the Montec. The Montec is the tougher head but the Striker is the sharper of the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mule659 Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Strykers would be a great head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest madabouthuntin Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 If they are legal in your state, I would look at the American Broadhead Sonic Fury Heads. They have super sharp and cut on contact. They also fly just like your field points. I use the Sonic Pro 1" cut 100 Grain heads myself and LOVE THEM!

Guest titleist_03 Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 My wife will be shooting a 40lbs Sidekick with 85 gr. SlickTricks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clrj3514 Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 i shoot 85 grain thunderheads with my 40# bow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born4it Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 I love my Montecs. I'm not sure about them being less sharp than the Strikers, but if they are, I'd definitely go with the Strikers in a lower grain head. Good luck!

Hoytguy Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 I still shoot the "Ultimate Steel" in 100 grain. Small cutting diameter 7/8th inch which is what most states allow. Fly like bullets. Also very cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 My best friend has had 3 shoulder operations so he shoots what I consider a low poundage bow pulling 50 lbs. He shoots 100 gr. G5's with his. I know for a fact that on one occasion he shot through both of the shoulder blades of a doe with that setup. The arrow was still sticking out of the doe's off shoulder when she left but obviously she didn't go far. I was there to help drag and lend a helping hand cleaning that one.

Cmarti Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Man I thought you wanted a broadhead to use on your wife:eek:, and I was going to talk you out of it:p My daughter has used 85 grain Ultimate Steel and 85 grain Slick Tricks with success, the slick tricks fly better. I am dropping from 72 lbs to 53lbs for part or all of the season, due to a shoulder injury. I am going to try the Slick Tricks in 100 grain magnums and 100 grain Magnuss Stingers, on a 400 grain total wt arrow, shot at 29 " draw. It is new territory for me. Good luck to you.
