Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Bowhunting Cutting diameter for crossbow broad heads?

If you put it in the right spot, you could probably kill them with a field point, but I wouldn't recommend it.

With my compound bow, I tried a lot of different things, but always came back to good old 100 gr. Muzzy's with 1 3/8" cutting width. They kill fine. Two years ago, I bought a crossbow and the guy at the bow shop talked me into Rage 2 mechanical. They're expensive, about $40.00 for three. They're bad ass though. When I run out, I've got some Muzzy's kicking around, so I use them. I generally use my Cabela's points to get new ones and about a month ago, they were on sale for $30.00. Rage 2 has a 2" cutting width with 2 blades. They open a huge hole and I always get a pass through.

I had this guy quartering towards me last year, and I shot him in the base of the neck, right in front of the shoulder. He was bleeding like a garden hose.
