I'm always looking for the next greatest broadhead. I have shot a bunch of differnt types over the years and have went back to zwickey more than once. Usually my lack of sharpening skills made me stray.                                                                                               This evening I went to the basement to shoot a few before a 3d shoot tommorrow. I had a few older Delta 2 blds in my quiver ready for squirrels and couldn't resist shooting one. It hit the center of my broadhead target. Went through it, a thick bath mat and a bag target. Stopped in the block wall behind.                                                                                               I pulled the broadhead out checked the arrow and headed upstairs asking myself why I do things when I know what the result will be. I got the file out and made a few passes to get the point back inline. After a few more passes I raised a burr and in less than five minutes I could shave hair. I think I will stick with Zwickey.

I don't know how tough they are but I just put a couple two blade 125gr Eskimos on and they are flying like darts. Might have just gotten lucky but for the price I'll take it. Speaking of price this Trad thing is a lot less expensive than the wheel thing.

more fun to

Good old Zwickeys.  I have not been able to break one, even shooting at an angle into a big rock (over the deer...don't ask).  They cost about $3 each, fly and penetrate well, kill animals dead, and sharpen easy.  I guess I've shot Zwickey Eskimos exclusively for 8 or 9 years now and don't have any reason to change.  They are also, I believe, the oldest broadhead manufacturer still in business right now, so if you're into shooting a piece of history, shoot a Zwickey.

I shoot Zwickey Delta 2 Blades, 170 grain. My field points are 175 gr, and they fly exactly the same.

Hope to put one through a deer this year.

It's close, Doug. Ace is the oldest with Zwickey next.

Shot one through a brick just to test it. Couple strokes on the tip and it was back in order.  Brick wasn.t as lucky.

When I started shooting Traditional bows I knew that I was going to Hunt with Zwickey Broadheads.

I've tried a bunch, but I can't find anything better than Zwickey Deltas. There are a lot more expensive broadheads out there, but Zwickeys have been and will continue to make stuff dead. As George L. Herter used to say, "You can't get deader than dead."

You can spend $10 to $30 apiece for broadheads that kill critters just as dead as a $4.50 Delta, but they won't be any deader.

Will be shootin 170 grain zwickey delta broadheads this year. Great price, fly great, and can get em real sharp with the kme.

I've always found myself going back to the Eskimos over the years. I will try other heads and then back to the tried and true.
God bless you all, Steve

Me too. Feel most comfortable with sharp eskimos in my quiver. I use magnus and STOS also, but zwickeys are just my go to head most often.

2bl Deltas for 40yrs now, ya mean somebody makes somethin else.

Where do you find Delta heads that weigh 170 grains. I have only seen the 135 grain models...

I'll be shooting 135 grain Eskalites this year. I got tired of messing with the woodsmans and always questioning how sharp they really were. I'll know now.

Screw in adapters bring em up to 170.

Love my 170gr screw in Deltas! I own other broadheads but I couldn't tell you where I packed them after my first set of Deltas arrived. I don't think you'll find 170 if you looking at glue on points.

"Gotta love Zwickey!"

Nuff said.
