I know there are a bunch of these already but lets hear it again.
I am looking to get new broadheads this season and time is ticking and I can not make up my mind.
I am sharpening impared and will not settle when resharpening for anything less than shaving sharp.
I used magnus stingers 125 grain last year but now i want something between 145 and 160 2 blades.
And a side question. My wife thinks I have too many bows. I have 4 recurves. Lets hear how many you guys have.
I have one wife, and nothing on the side.
Ive got one longbow and one recurve. And use 150 grain WW
11 bows, I'm trying out the SB No Mercy's this year
Silverflames.....just open your wallet - :scared:
My wife once told me "all your guns look alike" that was the wrong thing to tell this guy.
On the other hand she can tell my bows apart no problem...darn her.
I have the two listed below and another Kill-um on order.
As far as a broadhead I'm with SouthMDShooter and the WW looks good. I've been told with a few good files you can sharpen them easily. I have some 150 gr Snuffers that I used this spring on turkeys and they sharpened great with files. I'm looking at WW this fall and I just found some 150 grain two blade Thunderheads on E**y this spring so I'm going to hunt with them this fall also. I used the Thunderheads in the late 80's early 90's and shot my largest buck so I'm excited to find 2 new boxes and 3 packs of blade. It's going to be like old times.
Good luck...I have found out a few things in the 12 years I've known my wife...an envelope of cash goes a long ways and she doesn't complain about what shows up. Might cost me more in the long run but every one is HAPPY!!!

Magnus Stinger 150 grain 2 blade. Very hot item this year.
I'd not recommend the Grizzly if sharpening gives you fits. STOS is usually my first, second and third suggestion for the sharpening impaired, along with the Magnus heads. That would be for heads that still need a little sharpening, the Stinger's good to go.
STOS 145gr.heads with 75gr. adaptors, sharpened with KME sharpener...ready to be launched from one of my 2 Blacktail recurves.
I love those Wensel Woodsman. I really cant see how a head could be any easier to sharpen either as long as you have a nice wide file, and stone to lay 2 of the 3 blades down onto at once, and stroke away. Ive heard guys say they had trouble sharpening some of the early batches but the 2 batches ive had were a peice of cake to get scary sharp.
As for bows ive got a great plains bamboo recurve, a homemade glass longbow built with lams and glass from the old master crafter, and a whole pile of selfbows Ive made. Good luck with whatever you choose.
Woodsmans broadhead is the easiest to sharpen. And I am trying out Zwickey No Mercy Single Bevels, One longbow, pending girlfriend. Just waiting to see her again.

Let's see there is 8, no 7, uh yeah 9 and one bow on order. Will be using Muzzy Phantoms all this summer and fall.
8 bows...a couple more I want...
I'm pretty partial to Magnus heads, the 150gr Stingers sound like a good idea....
I've got endless broadheads and the regular maganus 2 blades are the easiest to sharpen.
I think about a dozen bows but I don't count very often.
I like Ace 2 blades.

I have 1 BW recurve which I shoot 150 gr 4 blade stingers out of, and then I have a BW longbow I shoot 160 gr Magnus 1 out of it.
Are Widows worth the money? Wish I was rich, sigh.
Steve
I have 3 Widows and 1 Bear T/D. As far as broadheads. 180 grain SILVER FLAME
Showoff. *Sigh*
Steve
My wife has more bows than I do.. And don't even let er get close to Cabela's without a topped up checking account and clean plastic.
I have 4 pronghorn's, 1 shrew, 4 pearsons, and 6 Bear bows, I petty much stick to one pronghorn though! Magnus 125's for me
Will be using either 150 gr. 4 blade magnus stingers or my ol' standby the Zwickey Delta.Bows- oh yeah- have a few of them also.
WW broadheads....Three Widows...One Ben Pearson

I have 2 Wing recurves, a Shakespeare recurve (this is my carp bow) A Hoyt Huntmaster, a Herb Meland Pronghorn long bow and 2 Black Widow recurves...all but the carp bow are armed with old Bear Razorheads.
You can't have too many fly rods or too many trad bows! Cotton
It's not my preferred method, but a good carbide sharpener, such as an Accusharp, and a set of crock sticks will put a great edge on any 2-blade.
I generally hunt with the Ace Express 165, and have no idea how many bows I currently have. :archer:
4 bows and ilike 2 bladed stingers 125grn
I used ace 160GR last year, I am picking up some Gizzly 190's at GLLI if they have them. I tried the no mercy single bevel on my KME but dont like the way the tip transitions to the non sharpened side and to the base. As far as bows go. I have a Martin Savannah @50#, a 45# ben Pearson recurve, ossage selfbow 52#, and a couple board bows I made that just hang on the wall.
