Broadhead and arrow question

Hi my name is Dwayne. I am new to bow hunting. Would you use fix blade or mechanical or hybrid. And has for arrows do you feel that that useing Beman white out arrows on public land a safety risk. Thanks for your time and help.

 

Broadhead choice is dependent on personal choice. I use fixed Blade for everything, but it’s all personal preference and what you feel comfortable with.

Can you elaborate on the safety risk?

 

I agree with WillO broadheads are a matter of preference. Ultimately shoot what you have confidence in however if you are shooting a low KE setup it is more responsible to use a good cut on contact. Any quality broadhead will kill cleanly if you do your part.

I dont think the white out arrows are a safety risk but if you feel at risk you can make a simple cover that you can tie on to cover your fletching until you reach your stand.

 

Whith the arrows I don't want to be mistaken for a deer. I'm shooting a Diamond outlaw bow. Will fixed blade broadheads plane out of a faster bow like that.

 

Whatever broadheads you choose will be fine. If you want something simple try muzzy phantoms (my personal choice).

 

If your bow is properly tuned, you can shoot any head just fine. I have not shot the Phantom head, but shot the standard 3 blade Muzzys for years with no complaints. Switched to SlickTrick ViperTrick a couple years ago and love them. It’s a personal thing, so don’t let anyone tell you you’re wrong.

 

The reason I asked is because the bow shop told me my bow was to fast for fixed blade broadheads.

 

Bowshop is talking out their ass. Was it a big box store?

 

No just a plan archery shop a small one.

 

I don’t know why they would say that? It’s total nonsense

 

More than likely, they can not turn a bow. I’d find another shop, fast.

 

Find a new bowshop. I know people that shoot fixed heads out of a PSE Omen. If your bow is properly tuned and you have good form there is no reason you cant shoot a fixed blade head.

 

Fixed. The comment at your shop is interesting.

Yeah I’d be moving shops I almost would give him the benefit of the doubt if he said a high speed xbow would be hard to tune to fixed blade by you should be looking at a different one.

I shot a G5 Montec and have been for years. They do shoot as if they were a field tip and I agree with the others there is nothing wrong with a fast broadhead as long as its an accurate broadhead. Find another store if possible even if that requires a drive.

 

Slick trick standards is a good head to start...or finish with

 

Agree with all others. Be sure to tune your bow for your broadhead of choice and you will be fine. As for the white arrows, I personally wouldn't feel unsafe with them in my quiver. Maybe throw on some blaze orange when walking in and out to ease your mind?

 

If your bow shop told you that then they are staffed by morons. Which unfortunately is all to common an occurrence for bow shops.

 

I personally love the fixed blades, zero chance of failure and have never had a fixed blade that was crazy off from field points. Switched to Magnus black hornet this year and the difference between field points is nill.

 

I have carried white arrows and would use a camo bandana to cover the fletchings when moving thru the woods and on stand. My main reason was to protect my feathers some. I still do the same now with my flo orange vanes out of habit i guess... i quit using white because of the snow in ohio some years. Orange stands out well and can still see the blood coloring quite well in stand.
