Thanks Charlie!
I found it interesting to see what some of the others were using.

[stickbowhntr]

so did you do an analisis of what were the most popular bows, bow weight and broadhead preference by the numbers ??? That would be nice...

[Charlie Lamb]

Stickbowhntr... My main interest in this little study was to get a feel for broadhead popularity as regards bow weight preference.

What I did see, from the responding members, was that most of the above 60# shooters seemed to be more confident with penetration from there bows... picked larger and multibladed heads.

Also, since I'm familiar with the history of many of the above 60# group, it seems that more experienced hunters chose slightly heavier bow weights... again, remember this is a VERY small cross section of members.

It also seemed that as bow weight dropped, so did the popularity of the 3 to 1 ratio heads... which I found very interesting.

[stickbowhntr]

thank you ...I'm sitting here trying to go thru this with a cold and just overwhelemd with the info and may try to do just that for myself.... It is very interesting info ...I find as I age I am looking to lighter bows with even heavier arrows but still shoot for the most part 2-blade deltas.
