If you could only have one make broadhead to shoot from now on what would it be and why?
I've been very pleased with the Ace line of heads that I've been using for a few years now. Great, strong heads, well made, sharpen well and stay that way. If you limit me to one model, I'll shoot the Ace Express 165's. :thumbsup:
RibTek....easy to sharpen and fly great.
Billy
Simmons as long as I could get them.Why? BECAUSE THEY ARE THE BIGGEST AND THE :D BEST.
Magnus
I have taken 17 whitetails in the past 15 years or so with a simmons 190 gr head out of a 53 lb recurve . saw almost every one fall.
180 grain Silver Flame.
WWs. easy to sharpen and fly great and leave a great blood trail.
Magnus II
Reasons:
1. You said one broadhead for everything. Magnus II will penetrate well enough for any game that I will hunt or hope to hunt.
2. I have modified these broadheads to accept a Bear razorhead insert. Works very well. Simple dremel tool cutting disk to make slot.
3. Easy to sharpen
4. I have plenty of room in my bow quiver for them.
5. They are black and don't tease my eye at full draw
6. They fly well
7. They are still reasonably priced.
STOS.Easy to sharpen and fly great!! Bob
zwickey eskimo, I have not taken any deer with a bow yet but I know I can get them scary sharp
Simmons
And that's why they make so many diff. BHs, everyone has a favorite.

My thoughts exactly!
Zwickey Eskimo
Match my target points.
Easy to sharpen.
Simple design.
Strong.
I like green. :)
Fishheads...built tough...PR
Simmons
zwickey black diamond deltas.
If I had to choose just one, it would have to be the GRIZZLY.

Wow! I figured the Woodsman would rule this catagory. The Simmons is getting some face time!
As much as I love the Snuffers, I'd have to pick the Woodsman if I had to pick just one. Good for little pigs, big pigs, whitetails, elk, moose, and up to the biggest of animals in USA.

muzzy phantom
there is only one - 300 extreem.
Trails that Ray and Steve preferd
ribtek 190's.........
ben
I've been using Ace heads since 2004, so that would be my choice.
160gn snuffers!!!!!
magnus 1s or WW
Having just received some Abowyer Brown Bear 175gr heads I don't have much experience with them in a hunting situation....BUT I love what I see in these. Great dimensions and built like a rock!
Hard to beat a Magnus II.
I'm trying the Grizzly this weekend,now that I can get them sharp enough.
Zwickey Eskimo's... ONLY !!
Fly perfect and quiet, easy to get crazy sharp and most importantly they "work" everytime.
JDS III
145 grain Eclipse.

Magnus Stingers , tough broadhead that files true , has never failed me , and a life time warrenty . I really cant ask for more than that .
Mike
Although I've taken 95% of all my animals with Zwickey Delta 4 blades....I'd choose the Wensel Woodsman.
Why?...I've killed bunnys to bison with them....they leave a better trail than a 2 blade...penetrate as well as most 2 blades, touch up fast and easy in the field...and are the best 'all around head' IMO for any game in N. America.
Dave2old, it's a Trad site, it had to be bows or Bheads!! :campfire:
By my count there have been 21 different broadheads mentioned, some of the same brand but different styles. So far Simmons and WW's are tied with the most at 4 each. Zwickey Eskimo next with 3. Zwickey brand with 5 and Magnus brand with 4. I love this. Now do one on carbon arrows.
SNUFFERS baby!!!!! I guess you could say the WW as well cause as far as I'm concerned they are just a replica of the Snuffer. Maybe I'm wrong.
Well I've tried most of whats been posted here. They all work. But got the hankering to try something different so I just ordered some of them Abowyer heads. We'll see. ;) :campfire:
Magnus Stingers for me.
Made well, lifetime warranty, better blood trail over two blades, small bleeders improve penetration over larger ones and all blades are sharpened on rear sides. Both blades are removable for sharpening.

SNUFFERS!!!!! are really easy to sharpen and fly as a field point,the blood trail is amazing as in hunting sometimes we don't make the perfect shoot.
but nothing beats a well placed arrow
I gotta stay with my Magnus stingers they have treated me well for the last 2 years. Easy to sharpen, tough, and lifetime warranty if you can tear one up. Have used them on deer, hogs, turkeys, rabbits, squirrels, rattlesnakes,and anything else that comes by me with no problems at all.
put me down for silver flames please. :)

X2 - only mine are 150gr.

Zwickey 2 bladed Deltas. Nice big hole. Magnus is my second choice.
ww
Used to be grizzlies, now abowyer brown bears 175 grain, or wapiti 175 grain. Will work on anything on the planet that's flesh and bone-
WW...never had a reason to try anything else.
SNUFFERS
It would be a tough choice between Silver Flames and Magnus Stingers...think I'd have to go with the Stingers for the reasons that TJ mentioned. ;)
Been shooting the old style Bear Razorheads for around 50 years. Why change now? Other heads I've tried and liked are Magnus, and Zwicky.Bear is still my favorite.
