I shoot the Wensel Woodsman cut to tip 3 blades (Slimmer profile then magnus) on my GoldTips. The Woodsmans are a 3-1 Ratio and fly like darts. Though I do modify my arrows and broadheads somewhat. I melt 40grs of #8 lead shot into the tip of my Wensels (total weight is 165gr) then use the short glue in adapters. Makes for a nice heavy leading edge broadhead. Then I put a full length piece of .090 weedwacker string into the shaft for additional weight. Have not weighed them, but would wager they are over 600grs this way. They fly great out of my 48@ 28 recurve and out of my old Carroll-Maruder compound set at 62#'s. On my compound I am using the old Star-Hunter rest with bear hair glued to the prongs (as is used on the side plate of my recurve) and they are whisper quiet.
