Zwickey broad head?

Great price, fairly easy to sharpen, fly awesome, what more could you want? I've tried a few different heads and always come back to Zwickeys. Wish I would've been smart enough to carry a camera back when I started shooting 'em. Anyhoo, here's a porky-pine I ran across scouting for deer...






125gr 2-blade on an old cedar arrow, almost straight up shot, arrow sailed right through length-wise and landed about 50 yards away. I know, it's a small animal, but these heads always perform great for me.

Listened to Jack Zwickey talk this past Saturday at the Wisconsin Traditional Archers banquet about the history of Zwickey broadheads.  Jack is quite the character and does not mind stating his opinion.
It was a nice presentation and is a great story of a father and a son who just loved shooting and wanted to create something better for archers.  The history of the Judo head was interesting as well.  I'll post some still photos in the next day or two.

Zwickey eskimo. Fly great and sharpen easy.

I love the delta's too. But i started shooting heavy woooden arrows and they are to light. I wish they made a 200gr head.

If you want to make them a little heavier...do like me...drop a bullet nose lead fishing weight into the ferrule, cut the arrow ferrule a little shorter and bingo...a 165-175 grain eskimo

I use 1/16 oz. Bullet point fishing weights...lead.  used full size they make the head  about 185-190 gr.  I snip off a little lead...tamp them into the ferrule with a piece of tapered shaft...and cut back my arrow taper until they fit.  You can also heat up the head ferrule to melt the lead further into the head but run the risk of ruining the temper of the steel.  With this method I have 165 gr Eskimo 2 bl 4 bl and No Mercy 165's......great system. And easily adjustable.
