3arrows, I never said a 2 blade = a razor blade...not sure where you read that in my post...

While you are 'standing by your post'....I'm sitting behind my 2000# 3 blade Bison.

Like the man said....he wants experience, not silly debate.  Yes, I said silly debate. Its silly to try and debunk the sharpness of a 3 blade head. If you don't think a 3 blade can produce a deadly sharp durable edge, you do need more experience.


Shedrock.....best of luck no matter the choice.            

Congrats! Ive never shot a buff but Ive guided some hunters on them when I guided antelope hunters in Wyo. Ive been on 7 kills with archery tackle and 3 were trad kills....2 of those were with ww and one was a zwickey. all the shots were about 20 yds. the bow weights are not very clear in my mind but around the 60# range all were very clean kills with what I call complete penetration (both lungs)....I personally love the STOS and think that would be my choice if I were to go, although I wouldnt hesitate to throw a ww out there. I just think the STOS is an awesome head man. just make sure you tonto the tip as they will bend a little on a heavy bone. Just my 2 cents......Good luck!

First off, I have never hunted bison. I have shot a few elk with two I hit and killed in the scapula. Bigger animals need more penetration. I would use the broadhead I am the most comfortable with. I think both those heads would work fine. I personally like the two bladers, but that is my preference. There are heads I would not use but you didn't mention any. Gary

Hey Tracy there is an article in one of the TBM magazines by Aram Barsch. I have the honor of hunting with him in Florida at Marty's. I know you have probably already read that but maybe there is something there that can help as well.

Have never taken anything that large, but will offer some important advice. Before going on your hunt consider how your going to handle the meat. A buff makes for a lot of ground meat, sausage, steaks, etc and it is all good to eat. Processing and storage once you get home can be costly. Heck, you might even have to buy another freezer.  Check with your hunting buddies, they might be willing to share some cost for a share of the meat. Just a thought but something worth mentioning.

I got decent penetration with a bear razorhead 60# bow 620 grains.  the bull was already wounded by another but long story...they ended up taking it with a rifle ,they didnt want to take any chances...
