The Ace Standard 2 blade head is one of the best buys and most underrated heads on the market. Tough as nails and have been taking game for years. 125 grain with screw in adaptors that weigh about 35 grains for a total weight of 160 grains. Hard to beat for the price.  :thumbsup:

We are lucky to bowhunt in a time when so many fine broadheads are available. I haven't seen a bad one mentioned yet.

I'll be shooting the 1 1/4" VPA 200 grain head I got from Big Jim, an experimental head from Redfeather and if I run out of those, my old standard Magnus I.

Magnus or ACE. Out of the two I give the nod to ACE for cost effectiveness. They are tough!
Just one more step please!

Tip curled on a rear rib of an old Sitka buck on Kodiak Island.  I was lucky it was razor sharp and missed the ribs on the entrance.  I was really surprised it happened but the outcome was still a good one.  

Took that pic back in Kodiak after we got back to town.  I got a mess of sharpened Delta's I'll never hunt with again after that...
Give me a bow a topo and two weeks, and I guarantee I kill two weeks!

I know there are lot of people who love them, but the only time I used  Zwickey's the ferrells blew out on several of the heads; just can't bring myself to trust them now.

My blade of preference is the Eclipse (4 blade) followed by either Charlies Magnus 1 or the Woodsman.

As you can see below, I fall into RC's camp.
The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

Best buy for the money? Check these out.  http://www.3riversarchery.com/Broadheads+Points+4-Blade+Screw-In+Steel+Force+Hellfire++Screw-in_c57_s268_p298_i5793_product.html

I have shot these Steel Force heads quite a bit, and they perform exceptionally well in deer sized animals. Best thing about them is their price of $17 for three, or around $8 each. I have killed several deer with these heads and just needed a few minutes to get them back to shaving sharp. I sometimes pay six times as much for broadheads to get really good ones for much larger animals, but for deer, bear, or even elk, these work very well and are definitely a "best buy."

VPA, ABS, Abowyer, Tuffhead, 300 Xtreem, Wensel Woodsman, Silver Flame, and other super premium beads are the ones I like to shoot, but I would not say it is necessary to spend that much money on a good broadhead for deer sized animals. Most of the time I do, but I'm more interested in fail proof performance than I am in saving money. There are lots of good broadheads for the smaller to medium sized North American animals.

I have been using Ribtek broadheads for over twenty years and since 1996 have used the 190 W's - excellent head IMO.

I shot a 220 pound buck once with an original wasp broadhead, long shot with a Schulz longbow, the green things with the little razors held in with the copper spring thing. One blade stayed outside on the hair, one stuck to a rib, the third blade broke in half and just had a little jagged thing left that went through the heart. The buck went down in 15 yards. Everything I have used since then has been better. As far as Zwickeys go, I have blasted a Delta mounted on stuffed Microflite 12s through both shoulder bones on a large buck with a 96 pound Jerry Hill and the head suffered no damage at all. I am surprised to hear that they ever fail. It is still the first broadhead I recommend to those who are just getting into this trad thing.

I have had good results with a Magnus Stinger, but this year I'm shooting a Centaur Big Game Head.
