Broadhead Suggestions
#11
Anyone ever use the Trophy ridge (rockymoutain) rockets?
Its just a 3 blade fixed but looks super little in diameter. The tip looks great for penetration though. I have been using G5 Striker the last few season and have not lost a animal yet but they do not fly like my field points. Thought about these trophy ridge 3 blade that are like 29 $ for 3 which is cheap. My brother bought me some grim reapers has anyone ever use thosed and liked them? It come with a practice tip like the 2 blade rage so i figured I might try it.

My draw weight is the same as yours,I use Beamon 340 tiped with Grim Reaper 100g. Mechanicals. Every deer I have shot so far has been found and consumed,they do knock them down if the shot is reasonably good. I had a bad shot last year but the broadhead did good damage and the blood trail was good enough for a rookie like myself to track the deer and harvest it.

Shooting a 55 pound bow you would be a fool to use a Rage or any other large cut mechanical broadhead. These broadheads require gobs of energy to smash and cut through bones and you aren't gonna have it.
You really need a moderate to smaller diameter fixed blade broadhead. Slick trick standard cut, Magnus stinger, NAP nitron, G5 montec, Shuttle T-lock, NAP hellrazor, Muzzy phantom MX, Wasp BOSS bullet would all be excellent choices.

In my experience, things that are absolutely required to function properly should have a design that is as simple and reliable as possible. This is one of the reasons why Glock has been so successful.
This is also the reason that I use fixed blade broadheads. Muzzy makes a fixed blade that has been field proven for decades, and you can get 6 of them for less than the price of 3 mechanical broadheads.

yes it is, but just proof that they will, my friend shot a deer this weekend, 50 lb draw weight pass through with the rage. and i myself (before i new anything about bow hunting) i have got a double lung with a rage on my 40lb bow. i dont reccomend it though. go with the 40 ke rage
Bigbulls, what about the 40 KE rage broadheads designed for lighter weight bows?
