All my favorite make much blood. Simmons, Snuffers,Mag I and Woodsmans.
This year I will be shooting a lite poundage bow first of the season with woodsmans then a heavier set up with big old fashioned Snuffers for deer.Maybe gaff one with a Simmons as well. RC

I would not hesitate to shoot a Zwickey Delta 4 blade at anything in N. America with most of my bows. That head has fallen way more game for me than any other.
Yes, I have taken game with other heads along the way....the the ZD4 is my favorite by far.

There are a whole bunch of really good broadheads out there now. I guess when I find something that works for me I tend to stick with it. That's why I've preferred Bear 4 blade Razorheads for the past forty-four years with good success.

For me the Muzzy Phantoms have worked extremely well. I can get them hair popping sharp with the KME sharpener and the hardened high quality steel really holds an razor edge for a long time in the quiver. I like the woodsman too but they don't hold a razor edge as long and aren't as strong.

I've been bowhunting for 47 years. I've shot Bear Razorheads, Pearson Deadheads and Zwickeys, but the best broadhead I've ever shot was with a 2 blade STOS. They fly true, they're very strong, the tips don't curl and they're easy to sharpen.
I used the STOS on my very heavy arrow setups. I've gone to a lightweight arrow setup this year and I know I'll miss my STOS since I have to use a much lighter grain weight broadhead this year.

Yep both crazy expensive but as long as you don't loose them they would probably last you the remainder of your bow hunting career. The Abowyer is an impressive head also for a lot less money but I've never killed anything with them or had one in my hand.

I tried some abowyers last season, the 190 javelina's. Awsome head and done the job twice with no problems.
I decided to order some more today and found out they discontinued them. They had a dozen and a half left so I bought them all :D
I'll be getting some lighter weight heads from Abowyer for a little lighter setup.
Abowyers are my flavor of choice

Have mostly used Grizzly 190 El Grandes and they have worked great on deer and hogs. Shot some of the Brown Bears and they were good also. Broke 2 of the stainles heads, one shooting through a hog and hitting rock and one in a target against another head. Never had this with the carbon head or Grizzly. Ordered the Tuff-Head and they really look good. This would be my perfect
Head if it had the screw insert. Also have some of the VPA's on order. Looking forward to trying them all.
