Considering trying something different. Why, no good reason! Just bored I guess! :biglaugh: Anyone use these that would be willing to share your opinion?
Thanks in advance.
-
I haven't shot them but I am thinking I might try them.
-
They are on my short list as well.
-
It is surprising that there are so few testimonials after the have been out for awhile. That's what kept me from trying them when I was mulling over a switch to 3 blades. You may have to take the plunge and fill the rest of us in.

I know a 2 blade will typically penetrate better, but does the 2 blade's mechanical advantage matter on deer sized game? I am also curious about the performance difference between these and "standard" length broadheads like the Zwickey Eskimo. Oh where is Dr Ashby when you need him! :biglaugh:

I’m a two blade guy normally but the instincts are bad medicine for turkeys for sure.
-
I have killed everything between bunnies and 2000# bison With 3 blade Wensel Woodsman.... They are badd medicine for everything ....don't be fooled..... They're certainly not just for turkeys for crying out loud..... It's a myth.... And worse it's a HOAX!!!!!
I see no reason why the Grizzlies or VPAs shouldn't work as good or better....and I didn't need a doctor.

I love them. I've killed some whitetail with them. I buy them up on the classifieds when I see them. I have a couple of bows that I shoot a 300 grainer with. I buy the 200 grain and use a 100 grain insert. They are easy to mount and fly straight.

I've been a 3 blade guy most of my bowhunting career and have been shooting the Instincts at a bunch of animals since they first came out. Turkeys, deer, antelope, bear, elk - they have been devastating on everything. I love the long cutting edge and low angle and really believe it makes a difference with penetration. I honestly think that the head has been the difference maker on the successful recovery of more than one marginally hit animal.
Excellent broadhead, and I am sitting in a turkey blind as I type this with 4 of them mounted on my arrows.
-
ah hell..They'll work just fine....probably better than many..maybe better than most.
3 blades are great.
If trying em sounds like fun, just do it. :thumbsup:

I picked up some as soon as they came out. IMO, they are great heads and I shot a great Texas boar with one. They have been in my quiver ever since. They are longer than most 3 blades, which I like. They sharpen easily, get really sharp and hold their edge. They're made with a tip insert like a Snuffer and I've not curled a tip yet, altho I do steepen the point just a bit. Weight consistency and trueness is great.

No complaints here, my biggest hog ever with a bow was taken with a 175 grain instinct
272#

Picked up some of the original run and never shoot them, looks like that will have to change.

My favorite broadheads by a large margin. Killed a bear and a hog with them so far. Will be taking them for bear again in a few weeks and thinking real hard about taking them for moose in 2020. I’ve got lots of other grizzly heads around but I can’t fathom not having an instinct in my quiver.
Wish I could find the picture KentuckyTJ sent me of a doe he shot this fall with an instinct. Looked like someone dumped a gallon of paint out, that’s been my experience with everything I’ve shot.
-
I love them. I've killed 1 whitetail with them. I have 1 bow that I shoot a 200 grain with and use a 100 grain insert. They are easy to mount and fly straight.
Edited this to be “me too”.

After trying woodsmans last year I don't see myself going back to a 2 blade ever. They are surely bad medicine for critters. Penetration was as good as a 2 blade as far as I know because they passed through like a hot knife and butter and the blood trails where Stevie Wonder specials. Instincts are probably no different.

I love 3 blades too.
Couldn't have said it any better.lol :biglaugh:

The are much harder steel and quieter in flight than the WW. Other than that penetration charactoristics are about the same (no need to pyrimid the tip on these)(outstanding). I killed a few deer and hogs with them, and gave a buddy some along with a bow I made him, he took them to africa and had outstanding results on a Kudu, Impala, Blue Wildebeast, and warthog. The wildebeast was huge and he has a video with most of the arrow shaft and BH coming out the far side right on impact as the bull shot straight up. All short recoveries

Also a Grizzly Instinct fan
