    My wife is shooting a prime centergy air at 40.5lbs. Right now she's shooting carnivore 100s with an 85g tip. What would be a good broadhead for her to hunt with?

    I use Wac' ems, they are a 3 blade fixed broadhead, they come in 75 grain, 100 grain and 125 grain heads. They look alot like a g5 montec, killed my first deer with one of the them out of a 40# bow, Great results!

    your fine, we usually get a few a year that need to make 25 posts in a day or two, and they post one word at a time. As long as your active with your team nobody cares if you make a few extra.

    100gr cut on contact such as a black hornet or muzzy phantom...also, I have to say Carbon Express makes a great Solid knockoff called the XT 4 blade that flies great and seems to be right up there quality-wise with many of the big boys. I really like that head. My wife shoots it out of her 42lb Jewel but hasn't shot a deer yet. If you want a mech then try the NAP low KE.

    I would stay away from anything under 100gr - the lightweights just lose KE so fast. With a 40lb bow she probably shouldn't be shooting anything over 30 yards anyway; so I wouldn't worry about 100gr being too heavy and dropping too fast. I think she will be happier with the penetration she gets out of a 100gr head vs. an 80 or less grain head.

    I second this, at that draw weightvyour going to want a cut on contact! I’d also recommend the slick trick viper trick !

    I agree with the 100 gr. It'll retain more KE downrange and give you a better FOC percentage. I've had good luck with Slick Tricks in a few different setups at 100 and 125 grains. I also really liked the way G5 Montecs flew, but I wasn't very impressed with their sharpness.

    Its funny how many times the broadhead question can be answered with a slick trick standard. Appreciate the help

    I really like the Slick Trick Viper Trick. Penetration is outstanding and they were a breeze to tune. I am helping a friend get set up for his first year of bowhunting and he draws 45# at 29.5in and I set him up with those
