Default Light Gr Broadheads

Lately we been trying to get my wifes bow dialed in for the season. She wasnt able to hunt last year, but the year before she took a doe with her bow. The job got done but it wasnt real pretty. My wife is 5 ft tall and so her draw length is just legal. Shes shooting a Bowtech Diamond, about 45 lbs and bow is maxed out. Radial x weave 100 arrows. We turned the bow up and cant get the Wasp Sharpshooter 4 blade braodheads to shoot. Im wondering if anyone has had similar situations. Looking for possibly an 85gr broadhead to get to work.
What to do?

are the broadheads grouping but away from the field points? Maybe need to broadhead tune? Perhaps arrow spine? Need more details.

Wasp makes a Rack Attack and Queen models, that come in 75 grains, and a Hammer SST that comes in 75, 85, 90, 100, 125 grains.

Magnus Stinger 4 blade has 85 grain....another good COC broadhead.

Tried switching heads on different arrows, They are all over the map. She shoots fieldpoints in tennis ball type group at 20yds.I had shot these heads in the past but Im 29" and about 65 pounds and had good luck. Im thinking they are just too much broad head. The field points she shot were 85grs I believe.

Will do. Been kind of browsing different sites, 85gr seem to be kind of tough to find.

G5- montec comes in 85gr, as does the Slicktrick.

If you wanna to consider mechs rage makes a 40KE broad head 100gr and grim reapers make 85grains as well.

My wife shoots 42lbs apa sidewinder using radial weave 200s and standars 100gr rage broadheads penetration is not an issue.

My wife is of the same stature as yours. She shoots a hoyt set at 40lbs on the nose and is getting 226 fps. out of it with Carbon Express Maximas 150's tipped with 85 grain Montecs. They shoot awesome. A little more expensive but well worth it.

taking into consideration the montecs have to hand sharpened...not everyone can do that well...and the ST are replaceable blades...

My vote would be for slick trick and if all fail shoot the rage. Will lose a bit of energy using mechanical but a well place shot can not be replace by energy.

either slick trick 85gr or razor trick 85gr should work, she might be a little underspined.
