im intrested in the zwickey screw on broadheads, how are they? any problems with?, will they break or bend?
Thanks for the feedback  

I have been hunting with the 160 grain eskimo for a while. They fly great, easy to sharpen. penetrate great and are tough. Shot through a nice nine point last year, really good blood trail. Another thing is they do not cost a fortune, no reason for me to change.

They have been around a very long time. Very dependable and well made.

I no longer shoot screw in's because I shoot wood however, The only problem I have ever had with them is that the aluminum broadhead insert tends to break from time to time. I broke 2 of them last year but they were on magnus heads.

I use the 170 grain Zwickey Deltas. Haven't taken game with them yet, but they are tough as nails and fly straight. Simple but effective.

thanks for the feedback!

After what... 60 or 70+ years in the woods I think they have proven their worth.  I like the add that says something like, "Zwickey heads are stuck in stumps around the world, The sun never sets on Zwickey"

Lots of great heads available but not many that have been time tested like Zwickey.

I coined a phrase here with the local guys back in the 80s....we killed so many deer with Zwickey Delta 4 blades it wasn't even funny.  

I was once asked by one of my hunting partners "what time is it"....well, it was bow season so I said..."Its Zwickey Time"!!!

That became a running inside joke around town every bow season....any time during bow season anybody, no matter who they were, if they asked for the time they got that answer from any member in our group.

Always has been, and always will be....my 'go to' head.

Been around forever & rightly so solid bh.

My Zwickey Delta's will be hitting the mountains for elk soon!

Hard to beat a Zwickey Delta. Great broadheads.

the Zwickey Eskimo was good enuf for Mel Johnson to get the archery world record typical white tail in 1965 - a record that still stands.

I have killed 11 deer with them and only had a bleeder blade break off on one deer that I spine shot.

Zwickeys are great. As far as using them as a screw in head, I always buy glue on broadheads, and glue in my own screw in adapters. You get complete control over the quality of the glue joint, and you have so many options as far as weight....you can buy very light aluminum inserts, up to very heavy steel. That way you can truly tune the arrow and bow together, without compromise.

I second Roger!

I got a batch of the no mercy screw ins a few months ago to try out.  I think the actual BH is great. easy to get sharp, tough, and they fly good.  The stock adapters are a different story.  2 of them broke off after a few shots at the base of the head and 1 wasn't glued well enough out of the package.  I would get the glue on and pick up some steel adapters to glue in yourself.

I agree.....buy the glue ons and glue your own adapters in.

Terry what adapters do you recommend?

Bayhunter, not to answer for Terry, but companies like Kustom King have a huge selection of inserts. I use JB Weld to glue them in.

Roger thanks for the feedback. what weight do you like for adapters?

Bayhunter, let your arrows tell you what weight of adapter you need when tuning.
