Its been so long since I bow hunted I haven't heard of half the broadheads mentioned.
My son is 9 now so I figure we'll start letting him shoot some and then we'll get back into it.

This. They flat out work. I've seen some not so great shots still take them down within 100 yards.

I shoot Slick Trick Magnums in 125 grain.

If you are a 28 inch draw or less 100 grain heads are fine. If you are a 29+ inch draw you will benefit from shooting 125 grain heads. The extra 25 grains helps the FOC of longer arrows.

I've killed a pile of deer with rage including several 220 plus pound bucks and more times than not get a clean pass through.

Grim reapers are good.

It's more about just using a good sharp head. Any will kill a deer if you hit them in vitals

what is FOC


The measurement of the balance point of a finished arrow relative to the actual center of the arrow. A higher FOC (more forward balance point) will give more stable flight in a crosswind and better penetration.

Here's a good explanation

I actually prefer a slit. The old vortexs with the rubberband will leave a very nice trail.

Did you call that post 'good info' without even knowing what FOC is?

I'm just going to throw this out there. I haven't been on much lately but this is the first thread I've seen that's about hunting I've seen in a while. It gets the blood flowing to the main vein. Good God come on hunting season!!!!
