Title: broadheads?

Hello everyone, first year hunting with recurve. Wondering what broadhead everyone recommends? Two blade? Three blade? Single Bevel?  Thanks.

IMO if your bow is under 50# I would go with a shaving sharp 2 blade BH. If above 50# use a 2, 3, or 4 blade head just make sure to get your heads shaving sharp and practice with your set up because shot placement is just as important as shaving sharp broadheads.

This is a very simple answer. What ever BH flys the best, and You can get the Sharpest.......

Perfect answer.  The only thing I'd add is depending on the poundage of your bow, I'd stick with a Cut On Contact (where the blade is the tip of the broadhead) instead of a replacement blade (where the blades slide into a ferrel).

2 blade examples: Magnus 2 blades, Zwicky, Muzzy Phantom
3 blade examples: NAP Hellrazor, G5 Montec, Wenzel Woodsman, Magnus Snuffers
4 blade examples: Magnus 4 blades, Zwicky 4 blades, Muzzy Phantom 4 blades, Steelforce 4 Blades, etc...
