As far as broadheads go, I have no idea. I'm probably going on a moose trip this fall though.

That's what I use at the end of my arrows for my moose hunting. You're much better off using a cut on contact head when it comes to moose, as you have to keep in mind that a moose hide is much thicker than that of a deer.LeGrand wrote:Montec G5, 125 grains
Not saying that a bladed ferrule head wouldn't work, but I prefer a cut on contact head such as the 125 grn Montec. Personally I wouldn't use a mechanical head for moose, but that's just my opinion.

The 100/125 grain wasps are what the guys that go with my father use and they have never lost one. I agree that a mechanical head wouldnt be a great choice because of the thickness of the skin. The most important thing is realizing the size of the moose, and making a well placed shot. Quartering away to get behind that big shoulder blade and right in the heart/lungs. Just my two cents.

Greatness is not in where we stand, but in what direction we are moving.

I was at a hunting show a few years ago and had the opportunity to talk with Cathy from excalibur and asked her what would be good for moose. I told her I was set up with 2216 aluminums and 100 gr. wasps that came in the package and she said it was a great set up for moose. She went on to say some may say to use a heavier head but she found the 100gr. to be the most accurate which is as important if not more than wieght. Seemed to make sense to me so that's what I use. Never put it to the test though.

I am considering getting into crossbow hunting because I had to give up my Longbow due to a central nerve disease. Otherwise I hunted even muledeer with an old custom .375 H&H. With a I have never used any thing but cut-on-contact heads so it is good to hear positives about them for moose. What are the limits as to sizes in consideration to the affect on bolt flight?
i shot my moose this year at 27yards 100 gr. wasps from right stuff kit i bought moose ran 200 yards with no blood trail but every drop of blood was in his chest cav. i shot him well on the ground so the blood could not run out. also the same week i lent my bow to a young fellow we had hunting with us and put him in a stand of mine he shot a bear with the bow in first hr .same broad head it only made it 19 yards and died. i came back from up north the next week and shoot two deer same broadhead neither ran 40 yards . ithink the people at x cal picked the right arrows and broadheads for there bows and you can,t go wrong . good luck unbelievable being that close to a bull moose with only your bow you can,t beat it
