Best Broadheads?
« on: July 09, 2012, 11:10:10 PM »
What are the best broadheads? Im shooting the 100 grain Thunderheads with a Carbon Element RKT Bow. Im hoping it is enough to put down a bear. I have a few spots in mind to put up a treestand or blind to get one.

Shuttle T's! Everyone has their own preference when it comes to broadheads, so you're bound to get a variety of different responses. Go with a head that's sharp  :chuckle:

If you want a head that is sharp why did you recommend the Shuttle T  :dunno: 

Austinsmm - You have plenty there to take bear.  And then some!

Like I said Austinsmm, everyone has their preference. Some people don't like the way that Trophy Taker packages their heads. I use the ones out of the package for tuning and replace the blades when it's time to hunt. Good luck in your pursuit for a bear with your bow. Looking forward to pics and a story!

Wac'ems, slick tricks, innerloc's new bat broadhead is good too.  You have lots of options in broadheads these days and all will work with a well placed arrow.

 @ the OP, Are you getting good and consistent flight with your  thunderheads? If so I wouldnt change anything, :tup: unless you just want to experiment with different heads for fun.  :chuckle: In that case take your pick, g5, wac em, Shuttles, Slicks, NAP, Trophy ridge, Muzzy, Carbon Express, Stingers, ETC...... Some of the heads mentioned may offer an advantage in durability, and depending on the setup may offer a big advantage in arrow flight.

  My  :twocents: and criteria for picking a broadhead is first and foremost It has to fly GREAT consistently!  After that its a sliding scale based on sharpness, durability, type of steel, availability, price and yes even looks. 8)   :chuckle:

   Depending on your draw weight your bow is going to generate plenty of energy to drive that thunderhead through any bear your likely to encounter. And cut good on the way through.
