How To Pick The Right Broadhead
What is the best broadhead to shoot?
The most important thing is that it flies just like your field points. Accuracy is the number one concern when it comes to broadhead selection. If your bow, arrows, and form is perfect, then any quality head will fly like a field point.
If you are new to archery, or aren’t sure if everything is perfect, choose a smaller diameter vented head to start out. They are more likely to fly like a field point than larger, non-vented options. The Tooth of the Arrow 1” V-series is a top choice for beginner bowhunters and experts alike!
Which broadheads are best for deer?
Deer are not typically very large animals, so you can get away with a larger cutting diameter if your draw weight is high enough. Contrary to popular belief, bigger animals should be shot with smaller broadheads, because your odds of a pass-through go up as broadhead cut diameter decreases.
Since deer aren’t that big, you can probably use a larger broadhead and still find a pass-through. If your draw weight is under 60lbs, stick with a smaller model. Fixed blade broadheads are always more reliable on deer than mechanical broadheads.

How heavy should a broadhead be for hunting?
Your broadhead needs to be the same weight as your practice points. There is no optimal weight for hunting. If you change your broadhead weight from what your practice points currently are, your arrows will start to fly differently. Figure out what your practice points weight, and buy the same weight for your broadheads.
Do you practice shooting with broadheads?
If you intend to go hunting, you must practice with broadheads. Your broadheads might change the way that your arrows shoot, and you need to ensure that you know your arrow will hit its mark when you shoot at an animal. You owe it to that animal, even if it costs you an extra broadhead that you have to practice with.
Will a broadhead go through bone?
Some broadhead designs are better at going through bone than others. Mechanical broadheads do not perform well when they hit bone and tend to break. Compact heads such as the Tooth of the Arrow Single Bevel are designed specifically for going through and splitting bone.
