broadheads... MA-3?

[huntertrapper]

i have some trade points but my arrrows arent spined right and i need to buy broadheads tp put on good spined arrows. also turkey will be here soon an i need to be ready. anyone ever shoot MA-3 broadheads from 3rivers. any sugg. on good broadheads? and what to glue them on, what kind of glue?

For glue ons I prefer the Wensel Woodsman or Grizleys. Any glue on, fixed blade broadhead will work OK on turkeys as long as you do your part. I think a 3 blade will give you a bigger,better hole. I usually use the amber archery glue sticks for points but any glue should work fine.  Pat

 I used to use five minute epoxy with metal heads and do the whole bunch all at once.seemed to work good.never had any come loose.(Doing stone heads now)Only shot a couple of turkeys with arrows,used the same arrows I used for deer.(2-blade magnus) Good luck !   Frank

hey thanks guys, magnus is one i might consider good broadheads. i know mike hutson uses them and if some of you guys do then i think ill use em. thanks guys.

I would recommend a 2-blade head.  If you hit a turkey in the wing butt, sometimes it's hard to get the kind of penitration you need with a 3 or 4 blade head.  For head on or up the bung hole shots anything will do, but the thick base of them big wing feathers is tough.  Saw Filer

okay sounds good, i figured to go with a two blade anyway. thanks.

Wolverines by Grizzly are better than 2 blade MA's IMO. Think they are 140 grain and like said 2 blade. Wing shots are tough on putt-putts its a tough place ta penetrate as also said........bob

I like the zwicky 2 blade and use hot melt glue so I can change the tips if needed,,, The MA-3 is a mild steel head and don't really hold an edge that well,, just my experience.

i am gonna buy the hot melt glue iv seen it used before sounds tough and i dont want to lose my broadheads in my target.

[Coo-wah-chobee]

Hot melt may er not work.Use epoxy (gasp ! ) if ya wanna be sure.........bob

[El Destructo]

hot Melts are fine and good...but I have lost a few because of bad cohesion....so I am with Bob....use a good two part epoxy....and be done with it

I prefer hot melt(the archery stuff) so I can adjust if the point becomes untrue. I know epoxy will soften with heat but will it be as strong after heating?     Pat

I use the two bladed magnus heads really like them,and the ferrral tite by bohning glue stick never had a problem and can change heads whenever I want

  I like Grizzlies and Wensels. I also use hotmelt glue sticks. But I buy them out of Woodworking Cataloge, it seems to be better. I like to be able to remove them for 3-D shoots.

i like the magnus 2 blade. right after i attach the heads i go and shoot them into my fence. this will bend the tips a lil bit then i resharpen them. that way the tips are a lil less pointed and less likely to bend if they hit bone.
