    If you are worried about it shoot a grim reaper 1 3/8 or a NAP Spitfire. Those two broadheads are known to work great with lower poundage

    Thanks parkersdad, what about a rocket steelhead, I used those years ago had very good luck with them. But I could pull 65 lbs back then to. I know their only 1 1/8" cut but they are tough little heads. I think the grim reapers are expensive, Ive always wanted to try the spitfire, cant remember what they cost. Thanks again

    I think the over all point is for low poundage fixed (smaller) heads work well if not best. Good luck

    Rocket Steelheads have a steeper blade angle and smaller cutting diameter which will help in deeper penetration.

    The nice thing about Swhacker is the blades deploy inside the chest cavity after the wing blades have already sliced through fur, skin, and muscle - an expendable blade in a way.

    Either would work fine for your setup.

    Why not control a variable if you can. You know modest size fix blade head will absolutely work.
    Slick trick viper tricks, VPA, Phatheads, Soilds, ironwills, Day six evo, OZ cut ultra 4 .... they will all work well.
