    Broad heads for a newbie

    My nephew is just getting into it. What’s a good broad head for Whitetails? Thanks in advance.

    depends on what his setup is. Slower bows or low poundage like 40-50 LBS draw, a good cut on contact like Magnus Stinger is a good choice. If hes a little older and shooting 60+ LBS just about any head will work.

      I second that on the Magnus heads. My wife and I both shoot them with very different draw weights and lengths with excellent results. Great heads. Good luck and happy hunting.

        Hundreds of choices. However, the must be razor sharp and you can get them to to fly well.

          This is the proverbial "Can of Worms" question. Good luck.

          There are oodles and gobs of great BH's out there. I have shot many different ones and I like, but not exclusively, Slick Trick's (standard or magnums). Part of the key is tuning your bow to shoot them accurately. It is not hard to do and there is lots of information on here and archerytalk.com. Google it you won't be disappointed.

                    If it's a light poundage bow, go with fixed broadheads, but avoid those with serrated edges, as they don't cut or penetrate as well.

                      For whitetails you can use just about anything, shot placement is the biggest variable. You can get the rage hypos really cheap. Also the NAP Spitfire Double-cross are available even at Walmart but fly straight and create nice wound channels that will even make some not-so-good shots lethal. Plus with the SF Double-cross there is no retaining rings and such to mess with.

                            Rage for mechanicals. Slick Trick for fixed.
