which broadhead for me?

[Bran32]

G5 Montec 100 or 125 gr, they shoot like a dart and are about $32 for 3

Wish I knew this before but just because you shoot a 100 grain field point doesn't mean you want to get a 100 grain fixed blade broadhead.

I picked up a 6 pack of 100 grain muzzys yesterday. They are hitting 3-4 inches to the left of my field points @ 40yds. Turns out my Front-of-Center balance is 11% with 100 grain tips. 125 grain broadheads would have bumped this up to 13.3% and should have me hitting closer to center.

Tomorrow I'll get some 125s

Hopefully that saves someone some time or money. Calculate your FOC before you buy your broadheads!

[DanOmite19]

FWguy- How did you calculate that?

[DanOmite19]

Scratch that, got it figured out... At about 14.3%.

I'll throw in a vote for G5 Strikers. Super sharp blades.. I mean sharp! Never had a loose blade or a blade come off. Shoots the same as my fields out to 40yds (never tried further). Had them pass thru and stick 8" into the ground to find the ferrule in perfect shape and ready for new blades. Blades weren't to bad either with a few smaller nicks but like others mentioned I prefer to change them out with new sharp ones.

I just like the simplicity of a durable fixed blade broadhead.

g5 strikers are an awesome head that is scary sharp and i would reccomend them to anyone. My girlfriend got an easy pass though on a nice doe last year at 15 yards shooting only 38 pounds.They also fly perfect with my Field points out to 60 yards. The only negative is i hate seeing them jump in price so much i think when i bought them 2 years ago they were 30$ and now they are 36 but what hasn't gone up. I also found some spitfires for 15$ per 3 and will be trying them out deer hunting this year. Hope you get the muzzy's working for ya, it is a proven head thats for sure

HItting to the left would mean that your spine is too weak or you've got rest contact. FOC would have very little to do with the right/left arrangement.

Having more weight on the front may stiffen up your arrow, helping the spine stiffness, but the FOC is not the reason.

A good way to check this without using a spine calculator that uses the exact specs of your bow setup, would be to do a paper tune or a walk-back tune. If you hit 3-4" left no matter what distance you shoot at then you have a spine issue. If the gap from the bullseye gets wider the farther back you go then you have a rest contact issue.

I rechecked paper and walk-back today. All is fine to 40 yards (I didn't test any further).

Then I started shooting my broadheads again and all is fine there also. Maybe it was a confidence issue or tired arms the other day -- not sure.

i can give you three reasons... Rage, Rage, Rage!

if you don't believe me; watch this.

I just bought some G5 Strikers and am really happy with how they fly. Dead on match with my fieldpoints from 40 yds. I like the confidence of knowing my heads will fly where I expect and not have "deployment issues" like I have had with expandables in the past. I'll sacrifice a little cutting width for consistent cutting action.

Use to be a Rage guy myself until I had one not open correctly. They are cool heads and make big holes but I had to go back to those solid as a rock muzzys.

I sure like the Magnus Buzz Cuts. More Bang for the Buck

I was always a Magnus Buzzcut fan (still am, I just like to tinker) and have switched to a Slick Trick Razor Trick this year. So far so good on their first attempt at a mule deer.
