Hi All,

Thinking about 3 blade glue on 125grn possibilities.

Which is the quieter head...
The 125 grain woodsman elite, or trailmaker?

They're both vented so they both probably make a little noise.
I'm leaning toward the trailmaker...for some unknown reason...


Thanks

The original Woodsman is very quiet. I have killed a fair amount of game with one. I can't comment on the vented Elites but the solid ones are the best 3 blades being made at this time.

I really like my 190 VPA's
Just really thinking about going lighter.

I just added the trailmaker head to the list above.

There is a non vented bloodgroove 125 woodsman out  but i just looked and its only screw in..I hope they offer it in glue on soon. The originals are great heads and with a little file work to the inside vents or vasaline you can make them stop whistling.

File work eh?

How's that done?
Do you just round off all the edges?..

Correct. I use a needle file and just round the sharp edges inside the vents.

When it comes to whistling broadheads in flight, another vote for non vented.

I'd LOVE to find a 125 grain glue on non-vented 3 blade...other than the MA..I like to sharpen straight edges.

Lots of good...no GREAT non vented 2 blades out there of course...just want to do a 3 blade I guess.

I have probably killed 10-12 critters with the original Woodsman and Snuffers.  I have never worried about the "hiss" they created.  I can't say a critter ever got advance notice of the incoming problem from them either.  I still shoot them some, but I shoot mostly heavy VPA heads now, primarily because they are so tough.

I've killed a couple of whitetails with Trailmakers and I don't hear anything from them in flight.  I'm using the glue on 125 version and my wood tapers are perfect.  Blood trails are incredible.

I've shot woodsman heads and there is a little hiss or whistle but nothing major.
