RE: Snuffer vs: Wensel
 

I got me some of those WW and did a little playing with a couple of them today. They flew very well and I was pretty impressed with them. I found them to sharpen vary easily and used the same method that I used for snuffers. With nothing better to do today I sharpened up all 6 WW and 5 snuffers that I had from previous years. I now have 11 scary sharp broadheads and almost no hair left on my left arm. That is really saying something because if you ask anybody that knows me I am covered with a nice thick pelt of heavy black hair over roughly 80% of my body. I used a 10 bastard mill file, a fine stone, ceramic stick and peice of leather just like I did with my snuffers and got the same hair popping sharpness that I expected. I thought that the needle point looked a little weak so I clipped it off with snips and filed it down to a chisel point. I have a carbon epic 500 that I doctored up with a weight tube and .80 string trimmer line to a weight of 630gr that flies like a dart with the 155gr WW screw in. The WW also shoots nice on my 2020 eastons. I did notice that the carbon arrow at 630gr shot noticably faster than my 2020 eastons at 600gr and penetrated about 50% more. Out of my 60lb crusader I have little doubt that I could push one of these WW clean through a moose or a couple deer standing side by side. I really like the fact that the ww has the solid tip unlike the snuffer wich has the little vent in the tip, I have always felt that that was a weakness. I feel that you would be hard pressed to tell the difference between either a WW or a snuffer with the ww <u>possibly</u>having a slight edge in penetration. I would say snuffers for higher poundage and weight arrows and ww for lighter wieght arrows and poundage. I also think that the WW are a little easier to tune and seem to want to fly better without having to play with them than the snuffers. Having seen snuffer blood trails I expect no less of the WW, short and heavy.
