Replaceable-Blade Broadheads with Traditional Bows

When selecting a replaceable-blade broadhead for use with traditional bowhunting gear, either recurve or longbow, look for one with a cut-on-contact point, such as the Muzzy Phantom, or the Magnus Stinger.

The reason is that unless you are Hercules shooting a 100 pound longbow, traditional bows simply do not develop the kinetic energy required for the punch-on-contact broadheads, such as the Muzzy Three Blade or the NAP Thunderhead, to work properly. These are great heads but they are designed for and work best in modern compound bows with actual arrow speeds of over 250 FPS. Trying to use them in recurve bows or longbows can be disappointing at best. At worst it will lead to wounded and lost animals.
