Hi guys
Finally my pse 445lb longbow is tuned up and ready to hunt some warthogs. im using 600 spine gt traditionals with 100gr insert and 125gr up front. what broadheads can you suggest? I can get my hands on some 150gr muzzy phantoms and remove the bleeders thats about all i can get. oh and some 3 blade montecs. I have some old zwickeys but they weigh 165gr.
sorry I mean 45lb
Nothing at all wrong with a Muzzy Phantom.
Magnus Stingers
can also get some carbon express 2 blades
Lots of heads in 125.
VPA
Simmons
Magnus Stringers
Snuffers
What about the Wensel Woodsman?
Like 9 shocks says... lots of 125's. Probably more choices than any other weight. 2 blade or 3, wider or more narrow-what's your preference?
STOS, Magnus II, RibTec 125S or 125W, Zwickey Eskimo.
Of these I have had success with I like the STOS best.

Easy to sharpen. Stays sharp. Rugged and reuseable. They are 130 gr but by the time you file the tip back to a 1/8" chisel point it works out around 125 gr. I have chopped these out of stumps and roots and put them back in service quickly.
I must say if they were legal in NY I'd probably have gone to the Zwickey Cliff heads. I think they look great and the 140 gr might be sufferable for that style. ;-)
Magnus Stingers would be what I would recommend. They are awesome heads.

Helix from strickland archery.
hes in south africa fellas-
we dont have the choices there that are available over here. he is limited to what they might bring in.
try and get hold of Derek Norse from norseman archery- in the Durban area
good luck boet!
personally i would go for the three bladers unless you are chasing "varkie's"
German Kinetic heads are top tier, and IMHO, one of the best broadheads made anywhere. They are kind of pricey, though. They are used by a lot folks who hunt Africa, so they may be available somewhere over there. Every African game animal I have killed (except guinneas) has been killed with a GK broadhead. They are the sharpest out-of-the-box broadhead you can buy!

Thanks Guys will see what I can get. i think i will go with the muzzy broadheads.
The Magnus Stingers fly great out of my 45lb Kodiak,easy to sharpen and well made.
Magnus classic 2 blades or stinger model has my vote!
Magnus stingers, the best part is they are made in Great Bend, KS
Magnus Stingers also but I like the buzzcut models.
I'm partial to the original woodsman.
I would look into the helix single bevel heads also
Johandre these broadheads is incrdible value and south african made in durban. In dollar terms about $25 for three. Regard Willem
Magnus stingers. They are sharp to start with and fly well.
Ditto on 125 grain Magnus Stingers 4 blade. I've been using them for years now and give them 5 stars on every account! Easy to sharpen, stays sharp, don't rust, durable as heck and flies like a laser beam for me! Lots of critters have been taken by me using Stingers and I have yet to have a single failure! I can't see me changing for any reason.
Pick out something that you like and somebody here will get them to you.
I've gone heavier and heavier over the years but had good results with magnus 125s.
Another vote for stinger
stinger 4 blades
Ace Standards , doesn't get any better and it won't break your bank!
Zwickey makes a 2 blade screw-in broadhead called the Eskilite, which weighs 135 grains. Their Eskimo broadheads-which you mentioned- are the heavier version at 160 grains.
The 135 'grain Zwickey Eskilites fly great from my 40# recurve (44# at my 30" draw). The Zwickey 135 grain screw in Eskilite broadheads are very good quality and low cost to boot.
I can only get stingers in 100gr nothing more.can get some helix heads, will also phone pathfinder on monday
I also like the Magnus Snuffers also..
I would think most if not all of our sponsors would ship to you....
Try the Nocking point our Braveheart Archery.
Try the Zwickeys you have first. There a great head easy to sharpen fly great and they have a good track record.
I killed 3 deer with Steelforce Phatheads in a 125 this year and as a long time Magnus Stinger user I am highly impressed. They flew great, sharp, and while they don't push it Steelforce has the lifetime resharpening which basically means the same thing as Magnus' warenty.
Ain't nothing wrong with Zwickey.
What do you guys think of the carbon express native? I can get them for cheap in 100gr and then i can add a 25gr BH adapter

X2...but then again I just want to be like Bisch :D
I would NOT recommend Montecs....powdered metal and will not sharpen or hold an edge like the other heads you asked about.
