So I'm looking for some 200gr 2-blade broadheads. Any recommendations? Has anyone used the Tusker Aztec broadheads? I'm also looking at the VPA and werewolfs.

I think the VPA's would be hard to beat.

I think the simmons tree shark is close to 200 grains.

Look at the new Grizzly Kodiak in 200 grain.  A marked improvement over the old style.

I ahve some zwicky no mercys.  I have not had a chance to see what it will do on an animal yet, but hope to.  Found them easy to sharpen and it flew great.
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

The Centaur Big Game head or Battle Axe are big and tough.

I have the Grizzly Kodiaks in 200gr head and they are good so far...got them sharpened up and they mount very easy on my wood shafts.  Only shot a target with them a few times but they flew true and took no additional tuning but do weaken the spine rating of shaft...so be sure to go up accordingly if going from 125 or even 160 to the big 200gr heads.
Keep em sharp,

Depending on what you like in a broadhead, the Grizzly Kodiak and Ace Super Express pretty much cover both ends of the spectrum in a quality 200 grain 2-blade broadhead.
Good judgement comes from experience.  Experience comes from bad judgement.

Right now I'm sporting Beman mfx classics .340 spine, full length. I have the 50 grain inserts in them. So total arrow weight would be right around 610-615 with the feathers. I'm shooting a Wes Wallace recurve that is 54@28 but I draw 30.5 which would put my draw weight up to around 61.5, figuring 3#/in. So that puts me right at 10gr/#. I do need the screw in broadheads. I also have another dozen arrows that I need to put the inserts into and was wondering if I should go with the 75gr insert or break it off and use the 50gr insert like I currently have. My arrows are flying pretty well, but I haven't actually bare shaft tuned it yet. Thanks for the responses so far and I look forward to any additional responses.

I would definitely bare shaft them before deciding on a broadhead weight.Fletching on field point arrows can mask tuning flaws that will show up when a broadhead is installed.

I am about to mate some 75 grain steel adapters with the new 130 grain grizzlies for a total weight of 205 grains.  I also have a 50 grain brass insert in my Heritage 150s.  Should be about 580-590 grains total with wraps.

Bill Dunn (Zipper) told me he should have the 130s back from the teflon coaters, packaged and ready to ship by the end of next week.  At this time you have to get the adapters from another source .... 3 Rivers has them.  GREAT BUY IMO!

I shoot the VPA 2 blades.  But I also take my Zwickeys and Ace and Eclipse and others and add an insert.

I've used both Tusker Concords just over 200 gr. and VPA 3 blades at 200 gr. Both good heads but the VPA has a stronger tip with less chance of tip failure....even after Tantoing the tips of the Concords. You'll be happy with either one!

If you need to stay right at 200 I would recomend ACE 165 with a 35gr addapter. If a little heavier is ok I would use ACE 200 with the same addapter. The Muzzy Pantom without the bleeder is also 200. I carry both in stock.

anyone tried the steelforce 190g african phathead?

i ordered 3, and they slightly out-penetrated similar weight grizzlies in foam.

all steel, .080 blade ( that's  thick, now).

kinda pricy, though.

i've clean missed 2 hogs with them, but it wasn't their fault
