Thread: Broad heads

That's pretty important, no point shooting with field tips then changing to something that shoots way different at animals

You know those cheap blue ones on trademe? We used them once they just blew to bits when they hit wood haha.

What arrows do you use? My brother uses those instigator arrows from archery direct. $9 a arrow 2"vanes 30" shaft, They seem pretty solid. Never used or seen any of the more expensive ones to rat it against though

yeah those blue ones are the cheap chinese ones ive used.

as for arrows, no idea, my bow is down stairs and cant be bothered looking....

Somewhere aorund $10 for an arrow is standard, i just get advanced archery to set them up for the right length ect and good to go.

Reminds me, i need some more. I havent taken the bow for a walk for ages

Strikers and Montecs fly very well from my bow and have taken some abuse from the smaller critters and targets that I've shot with them.
The Montecs did require a little touch up out of the box, but the Strikers were literally razor sharp and very well made!
With the Strikers, you also have the magnum option which I also bought but haven't tested yet.
Like PerazziSC3, I'm also well overdue a walk with the bow, which will be on my list as one of the first things to do when I get off this drill rig!

Any of you guys using rage broad heads, I practice with the 100g heads and find they hit the same as a field point, you also get a non opening head for practice with.

Do you need permits to get a bow from overseas?

Old pic that possum trapper shot with the bow. Reminds me of the old tv show 'The Munsters'

Not actually sure I want a bow now, I'll have the money for it this week but I found a scope I wouldn't mind saving for another wee while and getting that instead haha. Hmmm I guess it depends on how well my brother can talk me around as I would like both. I'm leaning towards the scope myself
