Broadhead question

I will recommend a 3 or 4 blade cut to tip head.

Look at Razor Caps, Magnus Stingers, and Muzzy Phantoms, off the top of my head. There's a bunch of good ones out there.

I'm using Razorcaps out of my 52lb longbow.

I chose the RC's because they are nearly identical in profile to my favorite 3 blade'r, the Woodsman. Yet the RC's are stainless (no rust), no glueing, offered in 125 grain and are very easily resharpened.

I nearly always have complete penetration and plenty of blood with the Woodsman and low # bows. Can't see the RC's being any different.
 
I'm pretty sure Muzzy makes 75 grain. I'd definetly get some kind of fixed blade just to get started on. That way if he loses a few you won't be out $10 a head

Ditto what the other have said.

100 grain Steel Force broadheads would be another good option.

Good Luck
 
What do you mean when you say lower draw weight? If you are only talking 40 lbs. I would go with a 2 blade. It just takes too much horsepower to push any more blades through at that weight. Make sure it's a cut on contact.
 
I shot my first deer with 40 pounds on full length aluminum arrows. The broadhead was made by bear, had 4 blades, and was a smaller cut diameter to allow for more penetration. Hit my deer square in the ribs and blew through it.
 
My son will be shooting around 40 pounds this year.

I got him some little 100 grain Slick Tricks.

Smaller blades and "razor blade" sharp.

I forgot about the Bear Razors. That would be a great head for the money.
 
I would likely go with a cut on contact 2 blade style head, whether that be zwickey, magnus, steelforce, grizzly, bear.... you get the idea.

Just out of curiosity, anyone know what a modern compound set a 40lbs will chrono?
 
The browning Micro Midas 4s at our shop are usually 190 to 210 depending on draw length and arrow... It is difficult with kids hunting. I would encourage people to shoot a heavier arrow for penetration purposes. Some many kids now a days look for speed(even at 9 or 10 they want to know how fast the arrow is)but when penetration is a problem, I seem to find results in weight!

I think their are a lot of broadheads out there for lower poundage shooters. I would probably recommend Muzzy's or Hellrazors! 2 blade broadheads can be very difficult to get to fly straight with todays bow technology!

How old are you getting to be now?

Old enough to remember the Bear Razorheads being about the only game in town back in the day.

I've had no trouble putting a 2 blade Steel Force clean through the heaviest buck I've shot (215 lbs dressed) with a 50# recurve. I know several guys who have good flight with Magnus Stingers.
As far as the old school references Zwicky's will always get my vote.
