Should I use a Havoc broadhead if my bow weight is 50 pounds?

Question
I am 14 and pull back 50lbs of draw. I was wondering if I would have pass through shots at 20 yards or less if I shoot the g5 havoc or would you recommend me use a fixed broad head?

Thanks,
Luke

Luke,

I have friends that successfully use mechanical broadheads with bows under 50 pounds. I’d prefer to use the G5 Striker (fixed blade head) for bows that are 55 pounds or lighter.  My daughter Raleigh pulls 45 pounds and has taken two mature bucks with the Striker head!  Both times the shot resulted in a pass through.  I’ve taken several deer with the Striker (http://www.g5outdoors.com/g5-outdoors-striker-broadhead-death-row/) and have been very satisfied with it’s flight and sharpness. You won’t go wrong with the Striker!

Enjoy creation,
