RE: Woodsman Broadheads
I've only "tested" them on a hog and a deer so far. Small hog, but passed though so fast I thought I missed--never did find the arrow, short blood trail (my buddy did follow up with a Magnus, but he accidently walked up on it and jumped it after it had gone down in about 20 yds). Shot a whitetail earlier this year, too high and too far back (liver shot), it only went maybe 50 yds. Kind of tricky to sharpen at first, I like to hone the needle point off, but over-all a good head. Hope to try out some new Ace Standards I got before the season closes.

Don't jab them into your thigh. My boyfriend said it took almost no effort to stick himself through his hunting pants, boxers and into the muscle.[:-]
I've seen several hogs taken with them and perform great. I agreeabout filing the tip down a bit because they can curl a bit when hitting bone.
Overall, I think they're great heads.

RE: Woodsman Broadheads
I like them because they are a 3-blade and there a Cut On Contact head. IMO there isn't a better head then a 3-blade Cut On Contact BH.The only thing I don't like about the Woodsmanis there cutting diameter. I can't really comment to much on them being i've never used them. I shoot a similar head called the Magnus Snuffer. Its a 3-blade 125 grainhead with a cutting diameter of 1 5/16. Its cutting diameter is bigger then the Woodsman, but shorter in length then the Woodsman. If i didn't shoot snuffers i'd probably give these a try.

RE: Woodsman Broadheads
I've heard about the curling problem, and a review on these type says to file the point down a bit to a triangle to avoid curling (making it kind of a puncture point). Seems like a tough broadhead though.
I went with Steel Force BH this season, but didn't get a chance to put them to the test. Had a cousinloose a bull elk with one (out of a compound bow). He swore by the SF heads before this, but the broadhead hit the shoulder area a bit too forward, and had no penetration. He picked it up to find a curled point. Made me wonder about my SF heads after that story.
I think that curling may be a problem with most cut-on-contact type broadheads.

I neither Steve. Not on game that is. I have been known to miss and hit rocks. Now a big rock will do a number on any head!
