WANT TO GO TRADITIONAL BOWHUNTING.

[Special T]

The best way to practice is a 3D. Silver Arrow Bowmen is having one THIS WEEKEND! And to op it off it will only be huntable species in this state. Deer elk bear... Real practive for real hunters!

I'm getting closer to killing a grouse with my bow, knocked all the tail feathers out of a blue last week.  Then I shot it out of a tree with the .22.

Anyone want to give advice on broadheads to use on big game for a traditional setup?   

I do know they need to be cutting on contact ones.

Save yourself a lot of time and debate and buy some simmons sharks. Check his website. Their amazing. Also buy his sharpener, spendy but worth it.

Or go for zwickey, ACE, eh, pretty much if the company started the game and are still in then their a good choice. I found ACE to re sharpen the easiest but a zwickey Eskimo on a cedar shaft is gold

Also, grouse may be small but if you don't pick a tiny point like a speck of dust on a feather, you have a good chance of missing.

 Thanks tracker for the info, but I have already bought carbon arrows that I like. So would these broadheads work on carbon? 

Aim small miss small on grouse. I want to get one so bad I'm physicking myself out on them I believe.

Simmons has screw ons in all weights. Same with zwickey

Another very good broadhead for traditional bows are the Magnus Stingers. They are available in two or 4 blades with relight ranges from 100 to 175 grains. They fly like field points - I got my last Muley at 50 yards (confirmed with my compound toting buddys' rangefinder) with 52# longbow shooting a Magnus 4 blade mounted on an Easton 2016 aluminum shaft.

That's impressive 

This thread is great because I'm considering going traditional as well. So thanks alot

Magnus Stinger Two blades are what I use.   I accidentally, elk moved as I released, smucked a shoulderblade.  Still split it and made it through.  enough to put him down.   That impressed the heck out of me.  I killed three bucks (Idaho, Montana and Washington) in one season with the same broadhead.   They do fly well for me.

Thanks for the tips guys, yes the pun was intended.

How do you determine if you need a 55, 60 or 62 inch recurve?

Is it based on draw length?

[TONTO]

 It's a personal preferance thing, but yes it has to do with draw length. A longer bow is abit more forgiving, and a longer bow will have a smoother draw, won't stack the wieght as much, the string angle at draw won't pinch as much when using a finger release. A shorter bow will be abit snappier and more wieldly so there is a trade off. Most bows are wieghed at 28" draw, so a longer draw will be holding more wieght as well, about 3# per inch over draw.
