Ace broadheads

whitefeather:
I would like to hear your views on them . Trying to decide what weight to get .

JW_Halverson:
They have been around a long time.  They have made a lot of them.  There is a reason for that. 

I have always used 125 grain broadheads, but I think it makes more sense to go to a stiffer spine and go up to a heavier broadhead to counteract the spine.  This will make the arrow more "weight forward" and improve penetration when a less than optimal shot happens.  Not that I am condoning taking a risky shot because you have a better arrow combination.  Give yourself the edge with weight forward and wait for the best shot, pass on the rest.  Be ethical.

bowtarist:
Good advice Jdub.  They have a lot to choose from. The owner was at the Classic. I like to talk w/ him about it if I was going to buy them. Might depend on what you plan to hunt...Whitetail....Bear? just my thoughts, dp

PEARL DRUMS:
Great heads, very durable, very affordable. As far as weight is concerned. The difference between a 125 and a 145 grain isn't noticeable. But, if you go from 125 to 160 grain, you'll start to feel and hear a difference in the bow and arrows spine. They will kill anything you hit the lungs on. Deer, bear or elk.

Derik, that dude is cool. I spent time with him last year down there.

mullet:
I've never had a problem with penetration on hogs with 125-145.
