Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Bowhunting Best Broadhead for deer

I am a great deer hunter, so this year I will try it with a bow. But there are two things I need to know. The number 1 is what types of broadheads for deer are the best ones? (I know there will be different opinions) And number two where to shoot them? I've heard from behind, but I'm not sure. Thanks for the help.

oh boy you may have opened a can of worms ? 2 kinds made expandables and fixed blades then after that whatever many bowhunters feel or think is best in those two types. I used a expendable for elk because shots can be longer,but for deer that`s your choice what type ,size ,kind,and brand you feel will work best. myself my bow shots are close for big deer in the thick areas I hunt, I may see a lot of deer but now at age 65 I now only hunt for bigger bucks 8pt or larger and sometimes I don`t get a shot at a big buck for a year or two but my shot will be always less than 30 yards ,I want a good blood trail,good penetration and decent accuracy so after using many different broadheads and killing a lot of deer in the past I went back to a old favorite broadhead Zwickey eskimo 2-blade with bleeders that I hand sharpen,i get very good blood trails and deer die quickly for me again.but you may decide you like another brand or type and that's ok too.have a safe great fall hunting,Pete53

Maybe youre a great deer hunter, but you cant be a great deer killer if you havent killed many with a bow.

Screwy article from someone more interested in drivel and money for it. Muzzy 100 gr 4 blade or Slick Trick.

Best place to shoot a deer -between the eyes or spine. No tracking, no running over snakes while tracking.

Most practicle is an arrow bisecting the center of the chest cavity.

Answer to question 1, yes
2, sure.

👍

Steelforce here....

Sharp ones...

Bloody ones are better.

From what I have read, these folks make some outstanding broadheads.

(I use much cheaper heads. Silver strikes, mechanicals)

I've killed quite a few with the bow. Had the most consistency with the plain 100 gr. Magnus. They may need more tuning work with the rest or arrow spine but never fail. They have an aluminum ferrule which will sometimes become bent but have lifetime warranty. Very sharp out of the pack and sharpen really well after use. Have killed up to 8 deer with the same head before a blade or ferrule got damaged enough for replacement.

Sharp enough your eyes bleed when you look at them and just behind the onside shoulder about 1/3 of the way up the body are the best ones.

I shoot a Wasp Boss 125 grain and have complete penetration on all of the animals I have killed. Last 2 bucks were quartering away and neither made it 60 yards after the shot pouring blood the whole way.

They are pretty damn sharp from the package but I touch them up a little bit more and they are scary sharp.

I use the old Rocky Mountains

Been using plain ole Thunderhead 100's for over 25yrs and counting with no reason what so ever to change. They have always done their part as long as I do mine and put it in the vitals. I aim behind the shoulder for the lower 1/3 of the deer.

Fixed broad heads I like muzzy 100 grain . mechanical I like Hypodermics 100 grain lung shot whenever possible

The OP is a scammer, beware.

"Phristy" == YEP MIGHT BE A SCAMMER >>> BEWARE <<< FOR SURE A LIBERAL

What a load of shyt. I don't believe the Benoits bowhunt. If they do, they've been pretty darn quiet about it. Guess they ain't great deer killers, despite the fact they've probably killed more mature monsters than anyone here on these boards. Maybe more than anyone alive today. You ever see a pic of Larry Benoit's living room ? Big racks galore all over the walls. Don't recall that Daniel Boone ever hunted with a bow either, yet it's on record he killed over 2000 deer in one year. Reckon he mighta been pretty damn good at killing too.

as a rifle hunter and bow hunter for now over 50 some years who hunts in northern Minnesota where I compete with timber wolves for a big deer to harvest .I do believe being a bowhunter I did learn a little more than most rifle hunters which gives me advantage when I rifle hunt for deer ,as does handloading,custom rifles and lots of practice with my bow and rifle too.because of all these small things it does add up to plenty nice big deer and even a few bull elk too,my son gets the real advantage with what I have learned and taught him because he`s younger, healthy , in top notch shape , knows how use a bow,rifle and most of all a knife while I hold the leg.

Ya may as well as Ford or Chevy while you're at it. Your going to get 13 different opinions for every dozen people you ask.

Bowhunters are the best deer hunters. That is a self evident truth.

Kinda like your boys the best at sucking dicks. Just joshing you 😉

I’ve killed a ton of hogs and deer with a 100 grain 4 blade Muzzy over the years.
I once zipped one through 2 hogs at 15 yards and then the arrow stopped in the 3rd hog. All three of them died after running about 30 yards. I see no reason to use anything else, as good as they have always worked for me.

I would try shooting yourself in the face...You'd only be killing your Sock Puppet.

Actually the guy in my sig line owns that title.

You don’t have a sig line you fûcn retard.

Heheheh. Thats so cute. So emotional.

What part is cute the Dick sucking your boy does or the jail time the other one did for child molestin.

Ronnie you are living the dream.

Says the guy who got a baiting ticket for sluicing a spike off a corn pile.

I've found deer rather easy to kill.....muzzy, thundehead, ultimate steeles, montecs, pretty much anything in the boiler room works....

This sounds like a great story. I would be entertained by this. Don't spare a single detail. Include links/news stories as well. I do so love a fantasy story. Manufacture it a good one.

Sluicing??????? What language is that?

Is that Hebrew?? Yiddish? Its gotta be since Ive never received a ticket for anything related to a spike buck. I did however get a ticket in 2012 for feeding deer prior to the gun opener.

It's of European origin... A common dictionary can be your friend.
As far as your statement of being a self evident truth,... Well no, no it's not

Prior to the gun opener? What does that have to do with anything. Placing of feed in the county you were busted in is outlawed anytime regardless of the time of year. Due to the threat of CWD, it had been outlawed for 10 years prior.
At least man up and own it.

Got a citation on opening day.....the only thing prior about it was when the corn was put down. Hard to tell the truth huh?

I got a speeding ticket in 2016 too.

I guess I missed the connection with a speeding ticket, and the spread of Chronic Wasting Disease in Deer.

The speeding ticket makes him seem extra gangster.....lol

Oh.............. Now this is a CWD thread? I thought it was a joke, bowhunting thread about shooting them in the rear.

you really should signal before changing lanes.

The intent of this thread was nothing more then an attempt to troll to begin with.
As usual, you just have to jump in head first with your predictably asinine and contentious attempt for attention.
don't expect to get fed by me.....

Thanks turdbuster. cool story bro.

but you are too late.

I shoot a lot of heads, because I can and like to tinker. Here is my number one tip. When you get your bow get it from a good archery shop, and have it tuned well, and know about tuning. From Magnus to Razor Caps etc, I never had any issues with broad heads, from a tuned bow. With that said, hard to go wrong with the Wasp Boss `125 grain. I do not know if they are still being made, that is why I have 3 pack of them. Shot a nice sheep with them, 35 yards 53lb bow, blew thru the shoulders.....

I like a solid coc head on hogs, and favor the Magnus Buzz Cut........ get a head that flies well, and is sharp, put it in the boiler room, and you will be fine.....

If you go the mechanical route, my advice is shoot enough poundage, and for me, that would be 60lbs or better, and shoot the heaviest arrow, you can and it will open up animals like a can opener. When you see no penetration on these things, the arrows I am sure are too light...

Well the guy asked a question, and of course, it not only went silly, it got ugly, and the moderator is not doing his job. Just what I would want some young kid to see. what a shame, actually thought we would talk about hunting. I will go back to the hunting beast for awhile, where they actually talk hunting.........

But he is soooo nice in person. He loves to stir and cause confrontation.

It's a piss poor hunter that feels any need to feed deer. Feeding them where it's illegal is the work of a poacher. BTW I bowhunted for several years back in the 90's after 20 years of killing them with rifle, shotgun, handgun and muzzleloader. Didn't find it too terribly difficult. Took my first bow killed deer on opening day of my first archery season and one every year thereafter. I quit bowhunting because it took too much time away from my bird/waterfowl/small game hunting, which is just what I prefer to be doing at that time of year..

LOL. You poor gals sure sore azz easy.
