Those big blades sure do some damage!  It must slice through so fast it doesn't even get the arrow bloody!   ;)

Simmons are on my "to try" list.
Impressive hole there.
Well done.

Don't worry, once your accuracy improves, you will be able to go to the 3 blades.
Keep practicing.

Naw Joe, they have to drown them in water to get those smaller 3 blade to be effective. Nothing like hitting them with a hatchet and watching them go down within sight.

12Ring.!!!!!!!!!! now thats funny I don't care what you say!!!.....They say the average Trad Bowhunter spends 1341 extra hours in a life time sharpening that 3rd blade over 2.....oh no here it comes...2Blade vs 3, left bevel vs right bevel, chisel vs Cut on contact, Left wing on a right bevel with a dip of snuff in your left cheek....  :campfire:

Rc is my finest student. I taught him everything he knows. Not everything I know, mind you, just everything he knows.
Now Joebuck, he's a different story. If he wasn't so busy with that pee-pee colored lab he has trying to teach it to fetch a duck, he'd have time to sharpen that extra blade.
Well, there's bowhunters and there's the guys that do all that other stuff......

Post by: joebuck on November 16, 2007, 05:08:00 PM
OK Biggie, I'll let the cat out the bag....it's not ducks I'm teaching him to fetch in water is YOUR deer so you won't have to drown them...it was going to be your early Xmas present...well things are going slow because the deer he trains on don't have horns like the one you shoot.

Joebuck , I shoot them aluminums also , 2117 or 2020`s work for me.
Biggie , you keep getting it mixed up . FISH = water , deer = dirt.
 I`ll probably have to teach you how to fish too...RC

RC, ever try the Ribteks? I really like the 160's. They sharpen easy, are tough as nails, and inexpensive as broadheads go.

By the way, nice shot there buddy.  :thumbsup:  
Then again, you've been practicing on those hogs, haven't you.

You can't teach Biggie to fish. I tried it once but he kept eating the bait!  :eek:  And we were catfishing!  :eek:    :eek:    :goldtooth:  

I like them big two blades too. BTW, what is the best broadhead? LOL!

I shot a doe a couple of weekends ago with a 1-7/8" GK head. The hole was so big the feathers didn't even get dirty. I have to admit I like the 1-9/16" cut snuffer as well so I guess I'm stuck in the middle
