any suggestions on what type of broad head yall use ? 2,3 or 4 blade. weight ? i am guessing the weight of practice points need to match the broad heads ?
FOX FIRE said:Your correct about match'n the weight of field points & your hunt'n broadheads, go'n heavy is kind of the rule with trad bows.
With a compound you have plenty of horse power from the cams that makes the speed (the limbs barely move when drawn), this (speed) lets you shoot a light weight arrow/broadhead combo and still get penetration .
With a long bow or recurve bow the limbs do all the work and shoot much slower, so to achieve penetration a heavy arrow/BH is needed to soak up the energy from the limbs, once the arrow hits the deer all that energy is stored in the weight & gives it penetraion.
Imagine a kid gets in moms little Honda civic, knocks it outta gear & it rolls down the drive hits the garage door, it makes a dent in the metal door, the kid gets in dads full sized Dodge crew cab diesel, knocks it outta gear & it smashes thru the door & kills the clothes dryer...the weight of the truck gave it the extra penatration.
I think I said that right, maybe some one has can explain it better.
