is this worth it for deer and hog hunting ? if so what arrow and broadheads you recommend

Any version of this bow 40 lbs or over will have no problem killing a deer or hog. As far as broadheads go I would go for some mechanical broadheads because they won't pull the arrow as much during flight due to wind resistance. Arrows you'll just have to experiment with to find the ones that shoot better for you. This isn't a true traditional recurve, and does require an arrow rest to be able to shoot off of.

Ya, I suppose any compound bows on the market it is suitable. When tested to its 400fps standard, it's not capable!!! If your not shooting over 320fps you can purchase a more durable target that you can fire fixed blade broadheads at for a much lower price!!!

Don't know about a crossbow as I only use a compound bow, but they are effective on turkey and deer. If you are really serious about turkeys you might want to consider one of those super wide broadheads designed for a neck shot.

i think you can buy either stainless or carbon...they punch through that big ball socket shoulder joint on deer though so in my opinion a good broadhead

Linda: The target tips supplied are 150 grain and for good reason: I've taken 3 deer with this excellent crossbow so far and all with 145-150 grain broadheads. This is the most accurate and hard hitting weight to use for this crossbow. I've added weight to my 125 grain broadheads to make them a 145-150 grain broadhead and they will not fail you! Some say go lightweight (100-125 gr) for more speed but you are then only achieving about 6 to 8 feet per second faster but have less penetration. Also the heavier tip weights are much easier on the crossbow itself. Trust me, stick with 145-150 grains for these tip weights!

Just to confirm all the other answers this is an outstanding broadhead. I shoot a Excalibur 355 Matrix crossbow. I took my first deer this year with this broadhead. My bolt was deflected by brush and hit a little farther back then I wanted. Although the broadhead was destroyed it broke the biggest bone in the deers body and caused massive fatal damage inside. On a side note I did some research and this type of broadhead is also popular with turkey hunters as well.

I don't hunt but I use mine for target archery. If you range on the animal first then set your site, you should be good.

I used SA Sports Ambush Crossbow 150lb draw. I am a novice hunter. These arrows did the job for me. They survived over a dozen shots target/sighting in and even the 6-7'' pine tree trunk that it hit after passing through my first deer ever last month.

I have used these with a crossbow. Our season just ended and I prefer to use a mechanical broadhead over the Montec 100 but this is just my preference.To answer with a simple yes or no the answer would be yes.

Yes a #45 re curve is plenty to hunt deer with. In my state of Oregon the law requires you to use a #40 or over bow to hunt with. When hunting with a re curve use a arrow that is 30 or 31 inches long with a nice Zwickey broadhead. Finish the arrow off with four to five inches of feather fletching. Try out the Cherokee or eastern Woodland fletch. My arrows use a 31 inch 5/16 carbon arrow with Esklite heads and A Cherokee fletch done with rooster feathers.

Yes this is the broadhead that I use. I have had a few problems with the blades coming loose when I pull the arrow out of my quiver. I just unscrew the head and put them back in place. Other than that they are a good head. Replacement parts for them can be found at Bass Pro or on the internet. Good luck. I love my Barnett Penetrator crossbow.

Yes, I used these broad heads on my crossbow. After watching someone demonstrate them on a YouTube video I harvest 2 deer with them.

Yes I have a Ten point crossbow. I got them for hog hunting in April and it went throught both ribs at 20 yards. Then last month I got a deer at 25 yards. They fly nice I recamend them. Hope this helps you.

We have never used them for hunting; however, of all the different types and brands of arrow we've used these are by far the most accurate. Sorry :)

I only received two 14" bolts which of course doesn't allow for attaching a broad head. However, in my opinion and now that I've had this bad boy for a while, I wouldn't let that stop me from buying it; you can buy decent 16" bolts on Amazon - they're hard to find elsewhere just to be perfectly honest - for roughly $2.17 each. I buy the ones stamped 2219 and they fly straight enough from reasonable deer hunting ranges of >50 yards: 6) 16 Inch Aluminum Crossbow Arrows / Bolts Good luck.

I haven't had a lot of experience deer hunting, but they are great for bird watching. Detail is pretty good.
