snuffer 125
 

I'm in the process of building my own recurve. If it turns out right it should be 55# at 28 inches. I like the looks of the snuffer. It's big, so it will cut a huge hole, thus more blood and internal damage = quicker kill and easy recovery. I plan to shoot heavy arrows probably in the 600 grain area. Will this get good penetration. Second, has anyone ever hit a deer in the shoulder with this head. This appears to be the downfall of this head. It has to be impossible to push that through a shoulder bone. How about the Spine. Any experiences with accuracy problems, sharpening, bending, balancing etc..

my dad shoots them but with a compound.. his arrows are heavy and he has had no problem killing the deer with them

try the razorcap bh. it is like the snuffer but better built, made from stainless steel and flies like a field point. cuts a big hole and relatively easy to sharpen with a mill file and a steel rod.

Snuffers are wicked heads, if you get them sharp they will leave a nasty hole thats for sure! The Wensel Woodmans is another great 3 blade head for the traditional shooter. They are very close in design.

I shoot them out of my compound bows, and they fly like darts, and they put holes in deer that look like they were hitwith spear heads. I have tried the new montecs, and razorcaps, but dollar for dollar, there is not a better head on the market today. They should fly well out of your recurve, and kill well also.
