What broadheads are you running?

[ChesapeakeTrad]

Curious what broadheads everyone's running on their traditional bows. 2 or 3 blade, how heavy, cutting diameters, what brands, single bevel or double ... etc..

And if you have different heads for different game what you like and why

For the last 2 seasons ive been using the VPA 3 blades with 1 ½" cutting diameter in 300 grains for whitetail and turkey (if i can ever get a shot off on one of those ornery bastards haha). Previously i was using the 1¼" heads at 250 gr but i decided to jump things up a bit. Those things do look comically large on the end of a smaller diameter shaft but man do they punch through whitetail like butter and leave one heck of a bloodtrail. With all my hunting shots being 20 yards and in 90% of the time, ive had no issues with arrow flight or penetration for such a large cutting diameter head. Super durable aswell, killed my last 4 deer with the same exact head and it always comes back to razor sharp and looking like its fresh from the package aside from the blood tarnishing whatever black coating they use on them. Ive also been using the VPA small game blunt tips in 300 grain and they sure do some serious damage on small game and stump shooting. Although I have had some of the teeth on the blunt tips sheer/chip off after hitting stumps that ended up being less rotten then anticipated lol

If I ever get a chance on some bigger game like elk/moose id like to check out their omega single bevel heads and see what they can do

Cheers

I've said it in a few threads lately but at the moment I'm very much into the broadheads and arrows from Terra Firma - a company based in Australia.

Their Venator single bevel 2 blade, and Gladius single bevel 3 blade, have been my favourite broadheads to use since about October last year. Besides the Gladius being a bit tricky to sharpen, I have zero complaints with them, and they're priced very well.

Using a mix of heads, mostly not made anymore. Magnus 1's, Blackstumps which are an old Australian made BH. Simmons treeshark for foxes and smaller game.

250gr

Wish they still made the STOS 160gr. I'd buy a lifetime supply

I will probably have a mix of day 6 evo x magna and vpa omegas with bleeders

I have decided to build up the front of my arrow with components so I can stick to 125gr heads that I can use in my compound or recurve

Honorable Mention is a kudu contour plus, the 125 is a good dimension head and Ive used them a good amount in the past
