Are you shooting wood or carbons? If you want a 3-blade I think our Phoenix will penetrate as well as anything out there. That being said if I was shooting a light set up with a shortish draw I'd shoot a two blade like a Magnus stinger, or a Grizzly if you like single bevel or there is always the very reliable old Zwickeys. I've killed deer with all of them and would recommend them all.

I *think* normally when it's under 50lbs it's around 2lbs 1.5lbs you lose per inch. I'd have a finished arrow that's 10-11gpi and no less and a razor sharp two blade Magnus Stinger or Magnus I on the end. Shot selection is incredibly important.

STOS is another good option for a broadhead. Better built than most and wont brake the bank either.
