Title: How many critters have you taken with the same broadhead?
Post by: Sean B on August 07, 2012, 08:28:00 AM
I've never kept track.  I took a bear this spring with a brand new Woodsman. I sunk the arrow in up to the fletching, and the arrow dropped out after only a few steps, and the head was still scary sharp.  the arrow broke at the fletching, so I can only recyscle the broadhead.

I touched up the edges abit and I mounted it back on a shaft and its back in the #1 spot in my quiver. I'm going to keep track of it.

I'm just wondering how many have YOU taken with a single head?

I have one ACE 160 that I have taken maybe 6 or seven rabbits  , two goats and a pig with ... its now mounted on my bookcase ... it was the broadhead that refused to die , get lost or break regardless of what I did to it

I am not real sure, but several.  I used the same Zwicky Delta 4 blade for about 3 years.  I killed 4 or 5 deer with it every year until I lost it.  I shot a hard quartering doe and the arrow did not completely pass through.  The broadhead end of the shaft broke off when she ran through brush and I never seen it again.

I used the same arrow for those deer too.  As you can guess, that was the end of that streak...

God Bless,
Nathan

I killed 9 animals with the same arrow from javeline size and up . Its a wood arrow with a woodsman up front . It never broke everytime I shot somthing I would always find it unharmed.  I retired it and wrote on it kills plenty...Tim

I don't keep track for the BH's. The arrows get a note written on them and reused until they are broken or lost.

I took a coyote, a whitetail, 6 squirrels, and a ground hog with the same eclipse. I did shoot a big gobbler with it, but he took it with him when he flew into a thick patch of swamp.  I think I was just as upset over losing that broad head as I was over losing the turkey.

When we had doe tags I was trying to see how many I could get with one my single bevel Hills, but it seems that every other doe I shot the arrow just seem to vanish, never to be seen again. I have the same problem with Hunter Heads, where do they go, bloody broadhead heaven?

7 deer is the most I've managed to kill with one head before losing it.  Original Simmons Interceptor.

I killed 5 deer and a bear with one zwickey delta . I clean them up and write the # of points for a buck or a "D" for a doe with a sharpie marker .

8 deer with the same Zwickey 2 blade Delta, then a pass through into a rock on the 9th, still have the head. Lots of good eating though.

Went on a caribou hunt some years back and killed two bulls with the same arrow.  That's the only one I recall keeping track of.  Head was a 160 Ribtec on a Kerry Gesink compressed and tapered ramin shaft.

I have one Snuffer that has been through nine hogs so far.  The rest of the arrows in my quiver have only been through 3 or 4.

I killed five or six deer with the same Ace Standard before I lost it trying to shoot a squirrel out of a tree.

Before that never really kept track....

1 tukey and 3 deer and it is still the first one out of my quiver this season, original woodsman 3 blade.

I killed 4 deer with a single 4-bladed Zwickey Delta plus 2 squirrels and one Grouse.  I must admit I missed about a half-dozen (maybe even more LOL) squirrels with it though.  It cleaned up and re-sharpened with a minimum of effort.

I took a bull elk, mulie buck, black bear and a whitetail with one of the old Bear heads.  The only reason I didn't kill more with it was because I usesd it in a broadhead shoot and destroyed it.

I killed 5 whitetails with one Woodsman broadhead before I lost it on the last kill.  Despite many hours of searching, I just can't find it.
