With all the talk here on the MM about broad head flight vs. your regular tips. I thought I would post a combination that hasn't let me down. The last three years I have been using a Gold tip 5575 pro hunter's, tipped with a Wac?em 100 grain broadhead's, finished off with blazer vanes or 3? vantec vanes.
I believe you need to start off with the straightest shaft you can afford for broadheads. Here is where it can get tricky. If you have a longer than 29? draw you will need the Pro?s if you want consistency in you shafts. If you have a shorter draw than 29? you can purchase the cheaper shafts and cut off which ever end is more crooked. Just look at how it spins on an arrow spinning devise. There isn't any difference in the arrow shafts other than how they group them by weight and straightness. A few grains different on you hunting shaft wont make too much difference on a deer?s vitals at bow hunting ranges.
Next I like to use a fixed blade broadhead's with a cut on contact tip. I use only enough weight to have proper spine on my arrows according to Gold tips charts. A 100 grain tip for my 27? arrow.
Finally I like the Vantec Vane or blazer vanes and blazer wraps. They are very durable and look awesome! If you shoot a whisker biscuit fletching eating devise they will stand up to the abuse this rest will dish out.
I have my wac'em broadheads grouping with my field tips out to 80 yards. I also know of a few guys that are shooting the new Wac'em 4 blade broadheads out to a 120 yards through a shooting machine and they are grouping with their field tips. "This is only for testing purposes".
So Wac'em with Wac'ems if your bow is tuned properly these tips will act the same as field tips!
My 2006 and 2005 bucks had full pass troughs long ways through the deer. First buck was facing me at 18 yards and I pushed the head out through his nuts, 20 yard track job.
The second one was facing away at 22 yards I picked a spot where I would not hit bone on the hind quarter and pushed it out through his shoulder on the opposite side. This is not a shot I would reccomend but I new I could pull it off. The deer fell 35 yards away in sight.
2007 buck was little easier 5 yard shot on ground level and full broadside pass through on the deer and nearly a tree next to the deer. The deer was on the run down hill when I shot it so it went a little further 80 or so yards.
My wac?em tips have hit bone on every deer in the last 3 years and have all stayed together. I still use one of these broadheads to check accuracy with my field tips.
With a good quality fixed blade broadhead and a well tuned bow and arrow combination you should only have to shoot one or two arrows to determine that your heads are flying like your field tips.
Good luck on your hunt and next time give these heads, arrows, and vanes a try you will be amazed how well they perform together!
Here is a photo of my 2007 bucks wound with a Wac'em 100 grain tip and a Gold Tip Pro hunter 5575 arrow with Blazer vanes. Deadly combination!
