    Default What broad head for Deer

    So I have the Killer Instinct Lethal 405 Crossbow, what would you recommend for a broad head for deer.

    They recommend for the bow a 100 grain head and my sons bait pile is 15 yards.

    Myself i am partial to these:

    Not for any particular reason other than they have always worked and have literally put many 1000s of pounds of venison in the freezer along with the odd bear. The ones you posted look fine though and like i said if they are accurate they will work.

    Your right Species, Deer have been killed with sharpened stones tied to a stick from 32 lb recurve bows long before we colonized this country

    I like your choice as well the G5 Montec has served me well..basically the same broadhead as knockoffs like the Excalibur Bolt Cutter a few others.

    Accuracy and shot placement are the keys...always practice shooting from your treestand before you go hunting, cuts down on the surprise of missing a deer a 20 yrds when it counts.

    I have been using the Excalibur 100 gr mechanicals for the last 3 years in my crossbow, and they work great on deer - furthest one ran was only 25-30 yards.

    I've used both the bolt cutters and montecs. I am partial to the 125gr though.
