I'm still using the old bear razorheads. Their all I need for what I hunt.

Muzzy Phantom 4 blade, fly great for me.

The 32 deer I did test on with zwickeys were devastated with them. I like zwickeys deer don't!

For the money Stos, Zwickey, Eclipse or Magnus are hard to beat.

Festivus

If Mark Horne would ever fix the weld on the Zephyrs they would probably be a top 3 broadhead.

The old Zephyrs were brazed (?). There were old pictures posted somewhere that showed the difference and it was significant. Apparently you couldn't destroy the old Zephyrs if you tried but the new ones just pop off. Probably because of the middle school metal shop weld job. For the price he is asking it is unacceptable. I will still use the ones I have left but won't be buying anymore.

For most NA game I would recommend Zwickey, Magnus, Stingers, or Simmons. Priced right, good quality, perform well.

This went from a "broadhead" thread to a "shoot them in the head" thread rather quickly.... glad most dismissed the idea for reality!  A little surprised that Bill C is the only guy beside me using Razorcaps.  I really like the head- did break one on a cider block- just testing it.

I dont shoot any screw in heads. I like to use a 42 grain bh adapter and shoot a STOS 160. They sharpen easy and fly like field points. By using the adapters I can easily line my heads up either vertically or horizonal without messing with the insert.

Zwickey 2 blade Deltas, 170 grain. Pretty easy to sharpen and good flight.

I have made all my kills with Wensel Woodsmans. Used them mainly because it was the only BH I could get sharp enough. I'm taking razor sharp Grizzly El Grandes to the woods this season.

I tried to make a rough count. It's not precise but:
Zwickey 27, Magnus 18, VPA 17, WW 13, STOS 10, Grizzly 8, each of the rest got 4 votes or less.

This includes the 25 BH in all that were mentioned with positive comments.

I didn't differentiate bewteen vented vs unvented, deltas vs eskimo...

My conclusion...to each his/her own. It seems that it's the old standbys vs the new guys.

Magnus stingers get my vote. Just started using them 2 years ago and had excellent results. Very easy to sharpen and fly like a field tip.

Before that it was the original Magnus 2 blade or Zwickey.

Woodsman's for 3 blades, Zwickey for 2 and 4.

Grizzley's and no bent tips.  Use them over and over.  Usually I lose them and have to replace.
