anyone carry different broadheads when hunting?

Yepper I carry different BH combos all the time, it usually contains some combination of Grizzly, Ace and Tuskers!

Never. Wouldn't even consider it.

I need consistency to feel confident. Before season I choose my equipment and will not shoot another bow, arrows, or change a thing throughout. It's how I roll.

I'll be at Wild Things in four weeks. Today I made my final decision, Thunderhorn, 1916's, Zwickey Eskimos w/steel adapters.

Yes, And more so in wet weather. Usually a Zwickley, VPA, or a Bear razor for "the" shot. And a couple of SS models. Hard to keep ahead of the rust on all of them. But what ever I'm carrying they do shoot the same.

I prefer a quiver of matching sharks but frequently have at least one or two odd balls in the quiver

Ulysseys · January 17, 2017, 06:22:00 AM

I'll even confess to having different arrows at times

Yes I do, I carry a single Simmons Tree Shark along same weight other brands. For hogs with the right angle the Simmons is the best cure.

Zwickey 4 blade Deltas and 2 blade Deltas because the 2 blade space better like roof shingles.

Deer hunting I had Palmer Extreme Cut's and Razor Caps in my quiver. On my hog hunt It was kind of funny since I had two snuffers, a woodsman, an unknown old two blade and a couple of Palmer Extreme Cut's.

Having a big Snuffer in my quiver gives me a warm fuzzy...so unless I'm chasing elk I'll almost always have one of those with me. Usually a combo of VPAs & Snuffers at 250-260gr

I have, in the past, had matched broadheads. Neatness counts.
But the last two seasons I did mixed broadheads.
Killed deer with a woodsman, grizzly and magnus II.

SuperK · January 17, 2017, 03:51:00 PM

Oh yeah. Mostly Zwickey Eskimo 2 and/or 4 edge, Magnus II, No Mercy with an Ace standard every now and then.

Bowwild · January 17, 2017, 05:54:00 PM

I've never done it. Never even thought about it. But, I certainly wouldn't be afraid to as long as what ever I'm packing works.

Hmmmm. I have a few "Specimen" heads just because I liked the looks of them; VPA 3-blade and Kinetics. I don't want to leave my Helix at home because a friend makes them. But, maybe I could throw in another for fun.

Hot Hap · January 18, 2017, 10:20:00 PM

Never done it-never thought of it-reading this makes me wonder why. May give it a try next year. Hap

I carry heads of the same weight, but always have one large Deadhead or Herters four blade for when I want an immediate obvious blood trail to use in dense cover where close in shots are to be made where the deer will not be visible for long after the shot is made. Maybe I should have an assortment of different weights, if I take a long shot and shoot high, go to a heavier head and if I shoot low go to a lighter head for the next shot.

old_goat2 · January 19, 2017, 05:34:00 PM

I have two usually, both the same weight and I can't shoot the difference, I carry Cutthroat's for big game and usually have an old grizzly in there to pin a grouse to the ground

David Mitchell · January 19, 2017, 06:31:00 PM

Well, I guess I'm not so weird after all. :D I usually have a couple of different kinds in my quiver.

Squirrel Bait · January 19, 2017, 07:08:00 PM

Yes, I've got a knapped head from Woody Blackwell, my last 190 Ribbie, and the rest Zwicky Delta's

shag08 · January 19, 2017, 07:14:00 PM

Yep. I carried a mix of Grizzlys and Werewolfs this year. I need to break down and buy some more of each. But I've killed deer with both so I'm confident in both. I do LIKE to have a matching quiver full though :D

Longtoke · January 20, 2017, 01:01:00 PM

I have been filling my quiver with kodiaks, cutthroats, and deltas,

maineac · January 21, 2017, 07:37:00 AM

My quiver had four different broadheads in it. Simmons Treeshark, Woodsman, Zwickey Eskimo, Zipper Grizzly. Wish I had some reports on difference in blood trails
