How many critters have you taken with the same broadhead?

Sean B · August 07, 2012, 08:28:00 AM

I've never kept track. I took a bear this spring with a brand new Woodsman. I sunk the arrow in up to the fletching, and the arrow dropped out after only a few steps, and the head was still scary sharp. the arrow broke at the fletching, so I can only recyscle the broadhead.

I touched up the edges abit and I mounted it back on a shaft and its back in the #1 spot in my quiver. I'm going to keep track of it.

I'm just wondering how many have YOU taken with a single head?

I have one ACE 160 that I have taken maybe 6 or seven rabbits , two goats and a pig with ... its now mounted on my bookcase ... it was the broadhead that refused to die , get lost or break regardless of what I did to it

I am not real sure, but several. I used the same Zwicky Delta 4 blade for about 3 years. I killed 4 or 5 deer with it every year until I lost it. I shot a hard quartering doe and the arrow did not completely pass through. The broadhead end of the shaft broke off when she ran through brush and I never seen it again.

I used the same arrow for those deer too. As you can guess, that was the end of that streak...

I killed 9 animals with the same arrow from javeline size and up . Its a wood arrow with a woodsman up front . It never broke everytime I shot somthing I would always find it unharmed. I retired it and wrote on it kills plenty...Tim

It looks that those VPA are endless,I killer at least 3 hogs and it is still like new,the next one killer 2 and the last on the quiver killed 1. Same with my Grizzly,they are Good since I don't loose them!

JamesKerr · August 07, 2012, 12:15:00 PM

I would probably say around 3-4 with one head.

Whitetail buck, 3 javies, 2 hogs and a turkey all with the same woodsman.

I don't keep track for the BH's. The arrows get a note written on them and reused until they are broken or lost.

1980's 'Blue' Zwickey Delta 4 blade....14 deer and 1 TX Hog.

I killed 7 deer with one Simmons Land Shark. I finally retired it before I lost it!

Looper · August 07, 2012, 01:54:00 PM

I took a coyote, a whitetail, 6 squirrels, and a ground hog with the same eclipse. I did shoot a big gobbler with it, but he took it with him when he flew into a thick patch of swamp. I think I was just as upset over losing that broad head as I was over losing the turkey.

Ia Hawkeye · August 07, 2012, 02:21:00 PM

None. I retire all kill arrows and broadheads.

August 07, 2012, 03:23:00 PM

When we had doe tags I was trying to see how many I could get with one my single bevel Hills, but it seems that every other doe I shot the arrow just seem to vanish, never to be seen again. I have the same problem with Hunter Heads, where do they go, bloody broadhead heaven?

PowDuck · August 07, 2012, 05:20:00 PM

None.

(I need to kill somethin'.)

7 deer is the most I've managed to kill with one head before losing it. Original Simmons Interceptor.
