I'm not a rookie bow hunter since I have about 30 years of flinging arrows. But I am one who sticks with what has worked. My question is in regard to broad heads.
I started out shooting Wasp way back when. I switched to Thunderheads many years ago and even shot some Spitfires for a year before back to Thunderheads. About 10 years ago I went to Muzzy 100 grain three blade heads. I have killed elk and deer with them and like them. I like to shoot the same head at deer and not change anything for a trip out west so expandable heads are not an option.
I'm to a point where I need to buy more. I see the newer Mx3 and the Muzzy trocar tip(I think that was the name). These newer heads are shorter than what I have shot.
I am a 25 yards and one pin type of guy. I once shot a deer and and elk at 30 yards but most of my shots have been under 25. I have a second pin where I practice out to 35-40 but have passed 40 yard shots that maybe I should have taken. Part of the reason is I like them close and part is due to a lack of confidence over 30 yards when shooting a broad head. Sometimes I get a weird flying arrow with a broad head at 40.
I have a 31" draw. My weight has been at 70 for years until backing it off a little last year. I haven't checked but I guess I'm shooting around 64 pounds.
Questions
Do the new short broad heads improve flight?
Would a 125 grain head improve flight by slightly increasing my FOC?
Is there a significantly better head I should look at?
I like replaceable blades. I like being able to practice a few shots with a head and then change to razor sharp blades for hunting. I like a head that can bust through a shoulder when needed.
Any suggestions?
