Shultzy,
I'm gonna try and sharpen these Snuffers one more time this year and if I can't get it I'm sending the damn things off to you!
I killed my first buck with one 20 years ago so they hold a sentimental place and I'd like to use them with the recurve because they fly like darts. My only complaint other than I can't get them any sharper than a pop tart is that they hiss in flight like no head I've ever shot.

Steve, You ought to have seen some of Holes I used to Blow through Deer with the Ol Thunderhead 180's Awesome!! The most awesome kill I ever witnessed was with that head. I shot a nice 8 point in late Rut as he was tagging a yearling doe by my stand. The sun was just setting and it was around 10 degrees. After I shot the Buck he ran pretty much straight West up a hill and I swear he was Blowing Red Steam 3 feet out both sides.
Well for a little while he was.
Went down pretty darn quick. I've had a couple of nice Bears fell to that head also. Idefinitely prefer 3and 4 blade heads.

Steve my buddy shoots the Snuffers, swears by them, shoot em' thru his Bear recurve's. Seen pictures of some pretty good damage they did, no personal experience with them but maybe one day! Sure would like to take some pictures of the damage the Magnus 2 blades I'm shooting this fall, should be good if I get the chance!

Just hit the animal in the vitals and the deer is dead. Whatever head shoots best with the least amount of variation from your normal field points.
When a hole is made in the lungs blood flows out to the ground and you track and find your kill. 3 inch cutting diameter or 3/4 inch ....bust the lungs and you're in like flynn.

What kind of head were these Dan? Cut On Contact? Bullet point? Expandable? 3 or 4 blade? Just curious is all.

They were basically a bigger model of the T- 100/125's bigger cutting diameter, longer, and heavier. They eventually scaled them down to 160's by scooping the ferrules. Then dropped thembecause market demands were looking for lighter faster.

Dan, you need to hire a dude to add all the stuff to your site bro. No 4" shield cuts listed, no grizz tricks listed.....Sheesh, what kinda outfit are you running here??
Like I need more broadheads, but I'm pretty sure I'll be killing mine w/ grizztricks this year. That magnum was one impressive sight to behold.
