Fixed or mechanical
My bow shoots both equally well....and I know all about shot placement., I limit my shots to 40 yds. At 55 lbs draw weight which broadhead would you use ? Slicktrick or Grim Reaper , both are 100 gr.

I use 100 grain G5 Strikers, which are fixed, at a 55 pound draw weight. Works great as long as you do your part. I've shot a couple moose and deer with this combo which were all pass throughs so far.

390-400gr arrow (complete including the broadhead) 70lbs, 29", 302FPS.
The Grim Reapers are spec'd to have a minimum of 60-65KE to operate properly.

in your case I would also be using slicktricks over the reapers. They are a great head and given your setup think they would have better results. I shoot reapers and If I change it would be to slicks.

I can’t help but think a heavy arrow would offset this requirement a little. Certainly momentum is going to play a role in blades opening, isn’t it?
