Pat, never heard of those, sorry.
Jason, I'm mainly looking for something that leaves good bloodtrails. Still using my razorheads.
Mike, I didn't add those becuase I figured there were not many trad archers that used broadheads that were not "cut on contact".
Thomas, haha I just can't seem to remeber to replace the "i" with an "e"    :knothead:      :banghead:

I'm with bmfer, too many good un's to decide. Bear, Simmons, Grizzly,HH, Magnus,   :banghead:  

fwiw, The old Bear Razorheads won't let you down if you put em where they're supposed to be. which could prolly be said of most of the ones on your list. At any rate Fred Bear seemed to ok with them. ;)

Actually the Muzzy's are cut on contact and were initially designed for "trad" gear by a "trad" archer.

Tough to choose.....depends on what I am hunting and what bow I am hunting with.....light bow, either a Stos or a Grizzly. Heavier bow, Snuffer. For Moose, I will go with a heavier bow and the Stos or Grizzly....tough to pick a favorite! Kind of neat to see the results though! Mike

This poll is interesting, but vague in results since it doesn't specify what game we're hunting. I use different heads for turkey, pronghorn, deer, and elk/moose. I assume most responses refer to deer hunting. If you asked "elk and moose" you might get different responses, or at least I'd hope so. In any event, I backpack in this afternoon for an opening weekend of elk hunting ... with Grizzly heads. Sure wouldn't want to fall on one! dave

2 or 4 blade? the 190-200gr. Simmons Interceptor.  3 blade?  Wensel Woodsman.  How'd I handle that Gene?

When you get a chance to read Ed Ashby's latest piece on single bevels..some of you MAY, just MAY, change your minds.

It's an awfully interesting article.

It's Bear Razorheads, even though I'm giving Zwickey's a try this year.

Yep...That be it.  The tip is a cut on contact.  I run mine over a stone and they get scary sharp, plus they are super strong and if they hit bone they split it.  The four razor sharp blades make for a nasty wound channel and easy blood trail.

I used the 100 grain 4-blade head last year and blew right through two deer with the same head a couple weeks apart.  One went about 10 yards and dropped and the other 50.  That was with my 42@26 DAS Master.

Most people don't know it but they were designed by a "trad" archer.  I won't use anything else but if I were to use a two blade it would be a Zwickey.
