Hammer Sst
with a shoot draw bow should i stick with fixed blade broadheads?
Been bow hunting for a while with fixed blades, but i do own expandables. I shoot a short draw length bout 25.5 inches, 56 lbs pse xforce @ 260 fps. I've got all kinds of fixed blades but i get much better groups with the expandables. I want to know am i going to have problems with expandables not opening up? I don't want to take them out and wound a deer when i should rely on fixed blade just want your opinions.
Fixed blades i shoot : wasp hammer sst 85 grain, muzzy 75 grain 3 blade, magnus stinger 85 grain 4 blade, muzzy 100 grain 4 blade, g5 montec 85 grain
Expandables i own: g5 tekan 2 and g5 t3
My main concerns are the broadhead not opening up, no pass through or bad penatretion, and deflections off bone.
Your draw length doesn't really have a factor here. The main thing you didn't include is the overall weight of your arrow and head together. If your arrow is only 200 grains and going 260 fps or if it is 400 grains and going 260 fps there is a big difference in the kinetic energy. If you are using a very light arrow I would stick to a fixed blade. If you are shooting a 350 grain or up arrow and head then you would be fine with the expandables. I used the g5 t3's this fall on a cow elk. I had no problem with penetration. The idea behind a rear deployment blade broadhead is they won't deflect on bone or angled shots. As far as not opening there is always a small chance that could happen. I really do like the engineering behind the new t3. I can't find a whole lot that will actually cause them not to open. That is one very good function of a fixed blade though, it will always work.
