My daughter and wife pull in the upper 40's and shoot 85 and 100 grain reapers 220 -240 fps. with no issues. The broadheads will open fine. They don't read the forum and don't know that broadheads don't open until you get to a magic draw weight they just shoot what I tune their bow to and have no issues. All they know is they shoot and follow a blood trail to an animal and help me gut it. 51 lbs. will be fine.

For hogs and coons, I just use the cheapest broadhead I can find at walmart, either mechanical or fixed. Usually you can get 3 heads for around $10. Never had a problem with any of them after 20 or so kills. Not sure about using them for heavily-feathered turkeybirds though.

I like the G5's for fixed blade broadheads.

Thanks for all your input to my earlier question (I read this forum frequently, but I do not post very much--I mostly read and learn).

I am switching this year to HartCraft. So far I am impressed.

X2 on this one, I buy the cheap carbon express 3 blades and they do the job on pigs. Don't feel so bad when one breaks.

If I am bow hunting for deer and a hog comes by, I try to switch out my arrow with a cheap fixed blade on it (don't want to ruin a good arrow or broad head). However, if I am just hog hunting, I am using my trusty .243 or my soon to be new .308 with Thermal I am building.

Slick Tricks for me, no doubt about it. I shoot the 125 grain Magnums mostly. Great little broadhead.
