right now i shoot muzzy 100 grain with my PSE Bruin set at 60 lbs. idk my fps with this combo..but i would like to start shooting NAP's bloodrunners..would this work for me or not so much
You should be able to tune your bow to shoot what ever BH you like. I have never shot Bloodrunners but if that's what you want to use...buy them and tune your bow accordingly. If they hit the same spot everytime, regardless of where you are aiming, and you can duplicate this at different yards then your bow is in tune. Solution...adjust your sights. If you find that they fly wildly and you cannot get consistent groups on the target at different yardages then your bow is out of tune. Remember field tips are very forgiving. BH's are not. Any little problem with your bow or form will be exaggerated. Anyone who says that their broadheads fly exactly the same as their field tips should take their bow to a proshop that has a Hooter Shooter. Even expandables deviate from field tips.
I would use the 3 blade version if you are shooting that poundage...the three blade version takes less force to deploy the blades than the 2 blade does...apparent'y they had to make the spring stiffer to avoid the initial enertia from opening the two blades at the shot. You can buy the 3 blade practice heads for about $20...I would do that and shoot them before you drop the full $40 for the BH's and then another $20 for the practice heads...that may save you some coin if they don't work for some reason, but I doubt that will be an issue, I shoot the 3 blades and they work well for me...I pull 71#'s @ 29" on an Elite GT500 and still went with the 3 blade because I didn't like the stiffness in the spring on the 2 blade...
alrite thanks alot guys..one more question.. i hear you can have them fixed or mechanical.. is this true?....if so which would work best for me cuz the guy who helped get started with my new bow says i dont have enough poundage to shoot expandables
There is a lot of info at the NAP website on the Bloodrunner. The Bloodrunner is not a true mechanical, it's more of a cross between a fixed blade and a true mechanical. For example the Spitfire is a true mechanical broadhead. I know a lot of guys that hunt with mechanical broadheads and only draw 60lbs. But it has more to do with the kinetic energy (KE) of your bow and arrow combo than the draw weight. The KE is determined by the speed and weight of your arrow. Most arrow manufactuers have KE calculaters on their websites. KE is measured in Foot/Pounds or ft. lbs. As a "general rule of thumb" 21-45 ft.lbs. are recommended to shoot medium sized game like deer. If your bow is shooting over 200fps you would be well with in that range and should be able to shoot mechanicals or fixed blade broadheads. A lot of talk about penetration issues with mechanical broadheads. I personally have never had a problem, but then again my bow and arrow combo generates about 88 ft. lbs. KE.
PSE, My daughter shot her buck last year with the three blade bloodrunners and passed thru to where the head was just poking out the far side of the buck and she is only shooting 42 pounds!! So shootem up I love them!! Walt
this broadheads are alot like rages in the sense where alot of people really love them and alot of people really hate them. the forum i come from there was a big arguement over these. i myself shoot the two blade rage, im not big on having to tune a bow from broadhead to field point so i went with one that, you dont have to tune anything they shoot the same, i myself hate muzzy's. but if they work for you then so might the bloodrunners
