My wife's been shooting them for years.  She likes 3 blade, and we really like these.  They fly good, and are fairly easy to sharpen.

Designed by my good friends Dene and Berry Winchel, you won't find a more versatile and effective broadhead.

They are very good. Only issue you might have are the tips bend and require snip and resharpen into diamond point.

I usually use two blade heads but the woodsman is legit. I especially like the elites.

If you are going this type of broadheads I would go with the VPA heads. Same similer design only a stronger tip and over all head.

I really like them.  Easy to get sharp and very deadly....

I'll agree that the machined versions: VPA, Elite, Trailmaker, are stronger heads, the original Woodsman is just as good as it ever was and is a very fine head that you can have full confidence in.  I do recommend filing the needle point to a shorter profile.

Great heads, been using them for years.  The Woodsman   Elite is a superior broadhead though in my opinion.  Much tighter tolerances, better point, and truer edges than the originals.

The original Woodsman was a good head too, but I had to do a lot of work with a file to get the edges straight and true, then nock down the needle point.  The newer Elite version is pretty sharp right out of the package, just a touch up on the stones was all I had to do.

The one and only deer I've shot with trad was with a WW. I'm still impressed by the blood trail it left. This year I'm shooting a heavier bow so I need more weight or I would probably shoot WW again.

I'm a little upset, last year I lost one of my old woodsman heads after I shot a doe the arrow bounced off a rock and into no mans land.  Spent days looking for that arrow.  That head went through six critters and was still going strong until that mishap.

I have no problem using the original WW with the needle point removed.  

Sure there are stronger heads today, but I ask the Lord every night to grant me the opportunity to kill just a SMALL amount of the animals that they, and the obsolete old Bear Razorheads for that matter, have killed.

Just a SMALL amount Lord ..... PLEASE!

I shot a nice 6 pt Mon nite with one(150 grn).  I left the needle pt on and it went thru the ribs and lower front shoulder on a quartering away shot.  10 yard shot- double lung-  30 yard recovery.  Worked well.

Awesome head period.  File the needle point down and it won't curl.  Very few heads left you can pick up a half dozen for $35.  Keeps me coming back year after year, especially with ease of sharpening.  Hope the NEVER stop making the original, LOVE it!!    :thumbsup:     :thumbsup:

Very good BH. Very close in design to the Worlds greatest Broadhead the SNUFFER.
