Broadhead recommendments for 40# Recurve

[230jhp]

I'm in the process of aquiring a recurve through trade for a muzzloader.

What broadheads are traditional bow hunters using these days.

The last I hunted with a recurve I used Bear Razorheads without the bleeder blade. (Just like Burt Renolyds in Deliverance) 

I assume there are better traditional broadheads these days.

I’d try Magnus Stingers.   Very sharp out of the box, tend to be accurate and lifetime gaurantee

Magnus stinger...2bld or 4bld...Won't make any difference

@Gobblengrunt will steer you in the right direction, as the recurve is his thing.

Magnus Stinger is a solid choice.  Cutthroat single bevel heads are great as well.

Usually buy goldtip blemished arrows from bigjimsbowcompany.com but I don't see any available now.

45lb (if your draw length is 27-28" you will probably need a 500 spine arrow.)

I been using all these^ in 175 grain. 100 grain brass inserts as well..

Slick tricks fly great and cut deep.

Stingers. Sharp. Easy to resharpen if needed. Fly true from a properly tuned setup.

I still use razorheads

As far as brands you have many to choose from. The head should be COC (cut on contact) as opposed to a "bone crushing" head. It should be fairly small diameter (1 1/4" or less). It should have up to three blades. A 4 blade head with small bleeders is OK. It should have a gradual taper, not a severe angle on the blades. All of these factors will optimize penetration which is your main issue shooting a bow with low KE such as you mentioned. Broadhead flight should not be an issue since your bow will have very low FPS.

I shot the nap hellrazors and loved them. Super sharp and fly great.

[JHbowhunter]

all good advice - you can't go wrong with a magnus or anything VPA makes...  A simple, 2 blade magnus stinger (no bleeders) would probably be about your best option overall.
