Favorite Broadhead?????
 
Just would like to survey everyone to see what the favorite broadheads are for traditional hunting.

I shoot the 125g Zwickey Eskimo 2 blade for most of my hunting. No flight problems, no penetration problems and so far, no blood trailing problems. It's a good sound head that gets the job done.

Make em sharp and shoot em straight, or leave em home.

I use the bear razor head lite without the bleader blade. Very accurate and easy to sharpen.

I've used Magnus I, Zwickey Eskimo, Snuffers and have liked them all. But the one head I keep winding up going back to is the Bear Razorhead. After 38 years and not being able to shake the habit, I guess I have to call the Razorhead my favorite.

I've had great results with Zwickey Eskimo 4 blade heads, but I took nine of my last ten deer with Woodsmans. Both work great, but I personally prefer the Woodsmans.

I like several broadheads that depend on a lot of things. For wood arrows I like Ribtek 160gr heads. Aluminum and carbon and sometiems wood I like Magnus journeyman 140, magnus I 160, Snuffers 145, and WW. These are the best heads I have found for flight and ease of sharpening.

This year, I used Stos Brothers two bladed 145 grain head. Next year, I have decided to go back to Magnus I 140 grain with bleeders.

Well there's Snuffers. And then there's Shuffers. And there is always Snuffers. Did I mention I like Snuffers too.

COB- those snuffers sure cut nice big holes don't they. Gotta love those short and heavy bloodtrails.

Magnus two blades...
... I mean Zwickeys

No, Magnus

OK, Zwickeys

Maybe I should choose by color instead...

Black it is!

Or green...

Black! No... green definitely... I think.

decisions, decisions!

I got saved by the massive cut afforded by the snuffer once when I shot a michigan doe and at the shot she took a step forward, ended up hitting her a little farther back than I had planned. arrow came through, slit the diaphram and opened the liver up pretty good just barely catching a piece of the far lung. She only made it 80 yards, the furthest that any snuffer hit deer has gone for me. I might have been ok with a two blade but I'm sure there was a lot more damage done by the 3 blades than just two and in this case the massive blood loss, and those two big holes letting in lots of air to compress the lungs sure did the trick. Thank god for snuffers.

I am shooting a 50 recurve its a old shakspere gave to me by a friend i am using 2213's and wanted to know if i should go with the 90 2 blade or the 145 bear razor's without bleeders? they both fly good but i dint know on penetration because the 90 do go a lot faster

12 deer shot and 12 recovered
all credit to pse and nap for spitfire broadheads

Shrewshooter, Im glad the heads have worked for you!

Brad Hayes drew a utah henery's mtn Bison tag and I know he's been busy getting ready for that hunt, He was in town 2 weekends ago taking his orentation class for the hunt. Blake is also going on the hunt with him. I bet once things settle down you'll hear from them.
