Broadhead Recommendations.

Zwickey Delta's are a great head. You can get them from 3rivers archery. As a screw in head at 170gr then put a 5gr brass washer on and you are good to go. That's my set-up anyway. Zwickey has been around a long time and they are a great Broadhead.

You can add weight to woods with woody weights too. Opens even more possibilities. Lots of great options put on the table so far.

Should have been a little more specific guys.. Thanks for the replies! I'm currently shooting 175gr field tips. I'm also shooting carbon arrows with 100gr brass inserts.

Looking for a good 175gr broadhead. Screw on variety.

I have been shooting the VPA Terminators in 175 grain weight. They fly like my field points and take a wicked edge.

That 175 gr. Woodsman Elite or VPA would be a great choice if you decided to go the 3 blade route. These heads will penetrate with the best of them.

What will you be hunting?

175-grain screw-in heads? I'd personally opt for 125-grain Ace Standards and long adapters. In reality though, it would be harder finding a bad head than a good one these days. Pretty much any of them will do the job just fine, whether they cost $20 for six, or over a hundred for three.

I've shot big game with thunderheads, grizzlies, zwickeys, magnus, woodsmans, eclipse, abowyers, samuri... Heck I even killed an elk last year with an Ashby 2nd mortgage. The point is they all are plenty lethal. Keep them scary sharp and tune your arrows well, thats more important than any one type of broadhead.

However, I never listen to my own good advice.

I am a broadhead manufacturers dream, I'm always looking to try something new... This season the werewolf sounds fun. In fact, maybe thats my real point, try them all out... thats half the fun.

I like the woodsman too.

Whats the easiest to sharpen and most durable?

March 16, 2011, 08:17:00 AM

For durability and sharpening ease, I like Zwickys, Stos, Magnus, the old Deadheads, Eclipse, Grizzlys are not all that hard to sharpen for me either.

You also gotta remeber that when you start shooting longer. Bh's at the same weight as your fp's they might fly a lil difernt also just food for thought there hanks jake

If you are going with 2 blade heads I would recommend the KME broadhead sharpener.About any of the better heads like STOS,Zwickey etc would be a snap to sharpen with the KME.The toughest to sharpen,I think,are the Grizzlies.It can be done but the grind is rough and it takes some extra work.

I've started sharpening my 200 grain Grizzly's with the KME knife sharpener set at 25 degrees. Those derned things are so long it is hard to sharpen them on the little stones that come with the BH sharpening kit.
