First i would like to apologize for my never ending questions. Anyway, i'm shooting a 45 @ 28 Kodiak mag that i draw to nearly 28. Bow scale says 44 at my draw. I bought a pack of Zwickey Delta 2 blades. Will these be ok from my light draw bow or should i pick up some eskimos. They fly like laser beams, just as accurate as field points. I didn't notice they were 1 3/8" wide when i ordered them. Are they going to be able to pass through with a good hit on a whitetail? I have them mounted on adapters and my arrows weigh in at 526 grains. What do you guys thinks of this setup? Thanks Matt .

Fly like lasers
Nice arrow weight 526 grains

I think the deer in your hunting area better beware

Sounds like a great combination

No problem- especially if they are flying well and hitting where you are looking. Should have short trails if you put them where they belong. Have a good hunting season.
Questions are what this site is all about, no bad questions except those not asked.
The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.

Double lung'um ,   and it's over for the deer.

Super head, wide, fly great and sharpen easily. I shoot them along with 2 blade Eskimos.

Keep them! I do think you will have better blood trails then with the Eskimo's. (My experience) The little bit of extra width will not hurt...

IMO a 44lb. bow will shoot those Deltas like a bullet and you will get great results with them.  I shoot heavier bows and use the 4-blades---I have used them for about 50 years and never a single complaint about them---I like them a bunch.

They'll do just fine.  I shoot'em also and they blow through deer.  What part of NY are you from.  Joe

YUP, I use them when I hunt with my 45# Kodiak Hunter and killed a few deer with them.

Might want to pack one of them little folding shovels, so you can dig them up, after pass throughs.  :D

Thanks guys, I will stick with em. What do you guys use to get them shaving sharp? I am from Geneva by the way. I was hoping to hear it would work fine. I already know they are tough, i hit a big rock with one when stumping this morning. The tip curled the tiniest bit, i touched it with a stone and back in action again. Still passed the spin test. If that was any other of the heads i shot with my compound, it would have broke. Cheap, tough, and they even match the green glass on my k mag. Matt.

I use a file that I picked up at a specialty tool store.

I also round the tip and take that needle point off.

Accusharp or any of the pull through carbide sharpeners will work great. Just hone on a jewel stick or crock stick once you bring the edge up and they'll shave easily.

I've killed bears, whitetails and turkeys with essentially the same set up - you'll be fine.     :thumbsup:

Thanks guys, I think after messing around i'm finally happy with my setup. Now I need to start working on setting up my Don Dow stik bow.
