Need help picking broad heads.

That bow is a Browning Wasp. $40 flea market find a while back! I have an acme quiver for it as well. I can hold 4-6" groups at 20 yards as is. I don't use a kisser button, I use my finger and jaw bone as an anchor point. I need to stretch my yardage out a bit in practice, but a little limited in the back yard right now.

...Folks will say that plastic fletching on arrows (for traditional rest recurves or longbows) makes them inaccurate...

Are you shooting vanes off a rest or the shelf?

 

[fast14riot]

Plastic vanes off the shelf can and do make the arrows jump. I tried these arrows off the shelf before putting the flipper rest on. Much better flight with the rest once the nock point was adjusted.

I am hoping to try for turkey this fall (Maybe spring season) with archery, would there be any drawbacks to using the same broad head for pigs and turkey?

I'm not a fan of the whisker biscuit personally. Flipper rest, single knock and a shooting glove. Arm guard pretty much is only for when I have loose long sleeves on.

I feel the whisker biscuit (on a trad bow) hinders spine flex of the arrow during the shot cycle, which is important on a non - center shot trad bow. For a compound bow with short, heavy spine, stiff arrows and center shot a whisker biscuit makes sense. I don't own any compound bows. I don't like them, I'm an instinct shooter.

I'm sorry - I somehow completely missed the fact that you're shooting traditional. So, I agree with you and would not put a Biscuit on a traditional bow, either.

I really like the QAD Exodus broadheads.

I've had good luck with Magnus stingers. And they have a lifetime warranty.

Bodkins. :thumbup: :thumbup: Muzzys are great as well. I used to put three bladed 125 grain Muzzys on Easton aluminum logs. They move slow but are some BIG HEAVY arrows that will penetrate anything they hit, and cut right through light brush without flying off in another direction. Maybe a lower grain weight, 75-100 that fits the carbon diameter. I shoot a Martin Phantom at 60lb draw weight at a 32 inch draw and a Regime Impala at 55lb. ACME quiver and vibration reducing stabilizer. Tru Ball release, and magnum glove. I use a kisser button, it seems to help me. Cobra fiber optic sights for both, with level. Browning bow wax (non-synthetic) Rabbit shooting patch for when I feel like it.
You should get a whisker biscuit. Wish I had one for my recurve. Do you shoot primitive or with sights, kisser button ect?

Bodkins are great!!
