Default RE: 2 blade broad heads??

I' ve been shooting 2 blade Zwickey broadheads since I started hunting. I' ve harvested close to 10 deer with them, and had complete passthroughs on every single shot. In fact, the only animal I' ve ever shot that didn' t pass completely through was a coyote I got a few years back, and that was only because my arrow hit a tree as it was coming out the other side.

I' ve always had excellent blood trails, even on marginal hits.

Just as a point of reference - the first deer I ever shot was a 2 1/2 year old doe. I was 15 years old at the time, shooting a Golden Eagle Predator bow. My arrow was somewhere around 25" long and I wasn' t shooting any more than 50 lbs. The arrow passed clean through the deer and stuck into the ground halfway up the shaft. She only ran 40 yards and dropped.

I have personally witnessed my father shoot deer, bear, and moose with these days heads - all with the same results.

Just keep in mind that if you shoot a fixed-blade head that you have to constantly keep them sharpened. Personally, I sharped my blades every 2-3 times I go out by running them over my leather strap a few times.
