Broadhead of choice?

[Sean B]

I've been partial to the regular Woodsmans the last few years.  but I also like Magnus 2 blade, Snuffers and Bear Razorheads (Greenies)

[LookMomNoSights]

Really liking the ACE as of late!

For 3 blade im leaning towards VPA'S and 2 blade would have to be Simmoms Tree Sharks. Haven't had a chance to use the 2 blade VPA's yet but they are on my Christmas list!! I cant get my Stos 160's to sharpen, that laminated tip is giving me all sorts of problems....I really should invest in the KME broadhead sharpener because I cant get the knife sharpener to work on Stos for some reason

Been using snuffers for years warming up to the simmons tiger sharks.

I really like my stingers and you can't beat the warranty. Has anyone tried the eclipse wolverines? I am intrigued about single bevels and they also have a killer warranty.

I am a believer in the concave design of the Simmons after shooting a deer with it. I wish someone would make a similar head made with a polished and harder steel.

Those Eclipse broadheads look to be very economical in comparison to the similar Silver Flame.

I like the WWs,Meagnus snuffers,Simmons intercepter+Treesharks,Zwickey Deltas and of course you just cant beat a good ol Bear.Havent tried alott of the others,and havent shot anything but foam with the Simmons yet.Maybe next season nock on wood.

I've taken a lot of animals with the stinger 4 blades, but they bend so easy that last year I tried the Eclipse Werewolves in rb. After a bum shot on my part, I centered a vertebrae cracking it open enough that the broadhead cut the spinal cord. Down the elk went and a quick followup sealed the deal. I'm sharpening challenged but these are a piece of cake to get insanely sharp.

Now if I could only get my broadhead addiction under control and stop the experimenting I could save a few $$$!

I have tried many BHs since I have been bowhunting (2,3,4 Blade)....

Recently I made a trip to South Africa using a Fred Bear TD recurve 485 grain arrow with 100 grain Magnus 2 blade fixed BHs.

On my first day I arrowed a mature Kudu Bull with a well placed vital shot ( in the center of Heart/Lung area broadside) at 17 yds. He ran about 200yds and fell stone dead.

Like hunting with a rifle, it's SHOT PLACEMENT that counts the most !!! A wounded animal with a poor placed bullet, no matter what caliber, is still a wounded animal that may or may not be recovered..... It's the same with a poor placed arrow!!!!

That is why we teach in our Bowhunting classes a complete chapter on SHOT placement and the idea of waiting for a good broadside or quartering away shot on a relaxed game to maximize good penetration and accurate placement in the vitals.

I also arrowed a Blue wildebeest with a broadside shot that actually missed the vitals but caught him in an artery which allowed my PH and tracker to follow in hot pursuit which ended in a recovered animal. He bled out quite profusely to allow us to follow him as he broke from the herd. Not the best of situations but the BH did its job.

I am very happy with this BH and find the 2 blade flies well. So looks like that will be my BH of choice.

Here are some pics:

VPA 300 grain three blade!

[Walt Francis]

Eclipse, 145 grain with bleeder.  Haven't ever heard of one failing, regardless of the size or toughness of  the critter being hunted.

Bob,  as can be seen in my signiture line, I agree with your  thoughts regarding accuracy.

This is what's in the cabinet depending on the intended quarry/bow used:
100g silverflames
160g zwickey eskimos
200g ABS masais single bevel

Simmons Tiger Sharks, Big Snuffers ,Original woodsman ,Magnus I and Zwickey No mercy.I usually carry four broadheads while hunting and sometimes they all may be different in my quiver. Probably killed most of my critters with Mag I`s and Simmons.RC

[flyfish1]

I have played with others and have different heads , but when the quiver gets filled each fall, spring bear or turkey, I always have an original Woodsman on my arras, they have and will continue to do anything I need. A great head.
