I've killed a lot of game with the. Just got away from them last few years. Resurrected a couple for groundhogs. Forgot how good they flew and how easy they were to sharpen. They still being made? Saw they are 41 bucks now!! Wow
160's have been in my quiver for the last ten years. Great head.
Been using them none stop since 1976 , if it ain't broke............
Been using them since the very first ones that were made from Ben Peason Deadheads!
Thanks Roger for inventing a GREAT broadhead!
Lots of people do
160's on 100 gr. adaptors for my turkey/coyote arrows.
So...if you were looking for around a 200 grain combo would you go with the 160 and an aluminum adapter or a 125 with a steel?? Deer size game.
160 Snuffer + 42 grain long aluminum adapter is my choice for a 3 blade head.

That's what I use. The 160 and 125 gr. are two completely different animals with the 160 being preferred. I've bent up some 125's pretty good. Any bend of a 160 is usually just at the tip and some file work it's good to go again.
I use them for spring turkey and bear hunting. Also took quite a few deer with them.
Being an older gentleman I've gone to lighter bows and find that the 160's are too much weight so I've been shooting the stainless steel 125s. I do have a question for the people who are not sharpening challenged like me. How would you sharpen these heads? Thank you.

I've shot them for alot of years. Venture away and try different things every now and then but wind up right back with them.
$41.00 ???????? Never seen them that high. Try Tim harms at Braveheart. He's a sponsor here.
I shoot them,great heads.
I'm thinking a fellow Tradgang member named Ryan probably still uses them.
Great heads. I have taken a number of deer and a bear with them. Very nice blood trails to say the least and they are tough. I like the 160 best, but I have had good success with the 145 too.

They're on my turkey arrows right now.
160s for me for the past 20 yrs or so.......never a doubt about how they are going to work or hold up.....I have also used the 125s with no problems but they tend to get tweeked/bent a bit after a pass through or miss and hitting something hard.........YMMV
145 with the 100gr steel adaptor. Killing machine.

Didn't know there were any stainless steel 125 Snuffers?
I too shoot lighter bows as well as Roger does. Mine is 42# and Roger uses 42# tp 47# and we both use the 160 grain broadhead with 100 or 125 grain steel broadhead adapters. Absolutely no penetration problems with the bigger heads and lighter bows. Sharp broadheads and putting the arrow where its needed from light bows will get the job done.
There is a ton of information on this website as well as many others on how to sharpen one of the easiest heads ever built. Just do some searches for sharpening Snuffers.
How do you guys prefer to sharpen? I have found a file ending in very light pressure does the trick just as well if not better than finely honed. Bill
They are a great 3 blade broadhead...and the only three blade I held onto. I still like the Abowyer 2 blades as well.
Kelly,
The heads that I have are made by Magnus and are packaged three to a pack. They are labled Snuffer SS . I bought them on this site and as far as sharpening these are a completely different animal.

Oh, forgot about those but don't they come sharp?
Touch up of Stainless steel heads can be done the same way as carbon steel.
Innovative and extremely effective broadhead, many new versions have evolved over the years. My only rub was they tend to whistle. Stand at a target and have someone shoot at 20 yards. Don't think it makes a difference, just found it interesting.
I love to see and read Kellys post he has probably forgotten more than most of us will ever know about Traditional "stuff"!! I have found a mill file to get the right angle on the blades, than a jewell stick, gets them so sharp your eyes will bleed just looking at them. I only shoot VPA 3 blades and Snuffers now. Shawn
Still my favorite head.
George
Sharpen them initially with a large file, then finish and touch up with diamond bench "stones".
I do. When I first heard that Magnus was selling the line, I bought "quite a few" six packs off the auction site. Priced between $24 and $28.00. Glad I did. Nice head. Easy to sharpen, and fly great.
Great heads!Kill stuff deader than a hammer. :thumbsup:
This T-shirt I had made up years ago Sums up how I feel about Snuffers, only had a few Made for a couple of close bowhunting friends. This post is not ment to insult any person or other broadhead manufacturer !!

You got one Mike! And oh ya, you too Joe! :wavey:
Man!!!! I love that shirt. Have anymore?? Bill
Put a lot of holes in stuff with Snuffers.
Switched to the SS ones because they spin better on carbon shafts. I had to try the Stingers too. There good heads also but better blood trails with Snuffers.
