    I always have used Muzzy 100 grain 3 blades. I use them on my compound bow I use them on my crossbow. They are simple and work well. My crossbow is 180 pound draw wait shoots a bolt at 350 feet per second too.

    What do you think about the Nap Blood runner 3 Blade. Do you think those would work good for a crossbow or the wasp jack hammer mechanical? Both would be 125 grain. Thanks for the input and keep the great video's coming

    Do you have to use crossbow specific broadheads or can all broad heads off the shelf be used.new to crossbows and looking for a real answer. I just bought some rage hypodermics and a pack of g5 deadmeats. Does not say crossbow anywhere on the package but was told at the store both can be used on 20" 300 grain bolts.both brand heads are 100 grain.

    What's the difference between a compound mechanical broadhead, and a crossbow mechanical broadhead? Are the interchangeable? Can a crossbow shoot a compound mechanical broadhead, while a compound can not shoot a crossbow mechanical broadhead? Or vise versa?

  • @douglasborgaro6801
    @douglasborgaro6801 Před 4 lety +1

    Killzones are some of the best broadheads I’ve ever used. I’ve taken 5 deer with them and blood trails were massive. Always get good accuracy with them. There are a lot of good heads out there and everybody has there favorites, but you generally won’t be sorry with Killzones.

    • @Crossbowexperts
      @Crossbowexperts  Před 4 lety

      We agree with you Douglas, Killzones are our most recommended choice for a mechanical head, especially for higher speed bows.

      The Barnett Raptor uses 20 inch bolts but I'm sure the 22's would work but you couldn't interchange them. The 22's are heavier and won't be as fast so I'm not sure why you would want to use them. By the way I am a Barnett Raptor fx owner.

  • @myronlaidler8034
    @myronlaidler8034 Před 4 lety +1

    Shot placement is more important than what brand of arrow head you use, any sharp head can be lethal if it hits vital organs .A crossbow is a short range weapon,because you can hit a stationary target at 50+ yards does not mean you can kill all big game at that yardage it is NOT A RIFLE!!!

      don't take marginal, low % shots and pretty much any broadhead made will cleanly kill a deer. there's no need for a broadhead that can withstand being shot through a truck hood, quartering-away 1/2" plywood, and denser ballistic gel. practice often, take clean, ethical shots, and use sharp heads, and the deer will drop.
