Anyone shoot 150 grain or more broadheads?

[Felix40]

I'm wanting to get some arrows set up that are slightly heavier than normal and I don't see a lot of good options for heavy broadheads out there. I'd like to get something with massive blades for deer hunting but have the option to go a little smaller for elk hunting. The NAP FOC and spitfire magnum interest me a lot because they are all steel and would be more likely to fly with field points at longer range. I know slick trick makes a 150 but that's really about all I see that is designed for faster compound use. I know 150s are popular in the trad world as that's what I shoot out of my recurve. Anyone have any recommendations on what they use?

Wow that is heavy! Not me

Could always use a heavier brass insert and use 125 gr head to accomplish about the same thing maybe?

I shoot German kinetics silver flame 150 grain broad heads on Easton FMJ arrows uncut. They shoot very accurately and identical to my field tips. XL and regular

I would shoot 150 all the time out of my compound

Brass inserts will give you the added weight and allow you to shoot 100s or 125s. You'll spend less (theoretically) installing new inserts vs buying all new heads

I actually shoot Zwickey Eskilite 2 in 135 grain making my total arrow weight 572 grain. thats a Gold Tip Hunter XT 300 at 27" long, 100 grain brass insert and the 135 gr broadhead.. shooting outta a 2015 Prodigy set at 62#'s. My fps is 225,but my bow is very quiet, Shot a doe last Friday and had a complete passthru

That FOC opens to 3". Going to need lots of KE to get that through a critter. Oaks great out of a crossbow.

Sorry, But KE isnt what goes thru an animal,KE only happens when the broadhead hits the animal. Momentum is what pushes the arrow thru the animal..

great broadheads

I should be shooting around 95ft lbs when I pick up the new bow if I have run the numbers right. I think that will be enough to shoot through a deer with a big head. I want to take advantage of that energy with big blades if I can. I may end up going with weighted inserts but it seems to make more sense to put that weight in the broadhead of possible to get a stronger head. It's probably not a big deal but if I can get an all steel head it has to be stronger than an al one.

Thanks for the recommendations thus far. I figure there's some heads out there that I haven't ever heard of. I know this isn't all that popular. I just want to have fun and power is fun for me.

For large game, I still use cut on contact heads, and the best combination of weight and true flight and easy tuning, I settled on Wensel Woodsman (traditional style) heads with glue in insert so they an be threaded on conventional shafts. The heads are 165 grains and fixed 3 blade. They are similar to a Snuffer but a slimmer profile. They penetrate VERY well. I started shooting them in my trad gear (recurve, 60# for deer and a 71# bow for elk). I used heavy spined arrows with weights added. Total arrow weight is over 650 grains. For my wheelie bow, I backed off the weight a bit, but they still weigh in over 500 grains. I do NOT generally have trouble with penetration. Even when I shoot Razor Tricks, I still generally get a pass through on deer and hogs.

I like the Wensel profile heads as well, I use the VPA three blade heads which share a similar profile and have a wide variety of weights available. Another option you might consider would be a two blade single bevel but I've never had good luck reshareping them which is why I've stuck with 3 blade coc heads.
