Broad head

[gramps73]

my son will be hunting spring bear this coming spring. what would be a good broad head for a youth bow hunter pulling 4o to 45 lbs
thanks

Any quality fixed blade will do the trick. Won’t punch through a shoulder blade, but neither does a 60lb bow shooting the same broad head. Try to find the right mix of arrow weight / broad head weight and speed to maximize kinetic energy for a full pass through.

I would consider a quality fixed, I use Tooth of the Arrow. My spring bear was down and dead in sight, 30 yards away.

They are like a muzzy but better. They fly better and are one piece, so they are way more durable.

40-45 lbs. I’d be using a 2 blade head- pick anyone you want.
Or a longer profile 3blade like a wensel woodsman. 3 blades are nice for bears as they leak a bit more. In either case give the head a “tanto tip” as long needle tips have the nasty habit of bending over when they hit ribs etc. And get it nice and sharp. Then study the anatomy with him to make sure he understands where to put the arrow. Sounds like a great father son project.

If you took a 4 blade slick trick and a G5 Montec and took the best features of both put into one...Tooth of the Arrow is what you get.

My very first choice would be any two blade broadhead. Then almost any of the other fixed blades after that.

I live my tooth of the arrow heads, wicked one piece construction, great penetration and they fly like field points

I have had great success with Black Widow Innovations Broadheads. I shot both the PX2 and the Widowmaker this year. Solid heads that do some damage and fly great.

The Qad Exodus could be a good possibility for him to try.

Lots of good options out there I personally shoot montecs and I'm looking to switch to iron wills this year but whatever you do, do not but ozcuts a buddy purchased some this year and what a absolute joke they were all three busted apart on impact and their customer service is horrible

A buddy used ironwills on a moose and they took a weird deflection in the ribs and didn’t enter the chest cavity. Could have been a one of, but it basically rode the ribs on the outside of the chest cavity.

My brother shoots ozcuts and has had nothing but awesome things to say about them. Shot 2 deer and a bear with the same head. Nothing wrong with it.

[Schilly97]

Yeah and I know of a few other people who shoot them and have said nothing but good about them. Maybe just a bad batch but after my friend being ignored by customer service and the owner of the company kinda put a bad taste in my mouth which is unfortunate because I really like their designs and the fact they are a solid one piece but after seeing how hitting a white tail shoulder blade destroyed idk.

I have had great lunch with slick trick and slick trick grizz cut on contact.

Oh for sure would put a bad taste in anyone’s mouth. He hasn’t had to deal with the customer service yet so I guess we will see.
