Post by: Orion on October 01, 2011, 03:09:00 PM: I really like 4-blade Zwickeys. Very nice holes, blood trails, but I don't have pix.

Post by: Bobby Urban on October 01, 2011, 03:46:00 PM: Probably 90% three blade here with the Wensel Woodsman but I also have other bows and arrows set up with one carrying Zwickey 4 bladers. I love the wide 4 blade Zwickeys because I can get them rediculously sharp and I like the solid bleeders. Have only shot one deer with them but the blood trail was great. Although I think any broadhed would have done the same where I hit the deer. No picks of blood, sorry

Post by: YORNOC on October 01, 2011, 08:45:00 PM: Results look great, I just have never had the need for more than two blades, grouse to bison.

Post by: bayhunter on October 01, 2011, 10:22:00 PM: thank you everybody for all the responses. what would be the lowest draw weight you would use with a four blade and still expect good pentration?
Title: Re: anybody use four blade broadheads?
Post by: SuperK on October 01, 2011, 11:23:00 PM: On deer sized game I have gotten complete pass-thru with both Zwickey Eskimo 4-blade and Bear Razorheads (with the bleeder blades) with 46-47 pound bows. My shots were under 20 yards and I stuck 'em in the ribs.

can you give us some pointers on sharpening them buggers. I still have a bunch, and I love Zwickies, but I can't use them on a sharpening jig and am not quite as good at making them real sharp by hand filing.

Title: Re: anybody use four blade broadheads?
Post by: Bobby Urban on October 02, 2011, 08:56:00 PM: Shot this little gal tonight with a wide Zwickey 4 blade. Not sure what they are called but I can get them really sharp and obviously they work pretty well. I will say that I am begining to believe when you center punch the pump they do not spill much on the ground? I am guessing because, well, they have no pump. Fortunately she ran about 40 yards down the trail I walk in on and was really easy to find. Not to say there was no blood on the ground but on all my heart shots it is nothing like a good ole DBL lunger. I do like seeing the x in the heart when you pull it out though!

Title: Re: anybody use four blade broadheads?
Post by: Joseph on October 03, 2011, 03:00:00 AM: I have shot a boar and a bison with an Eclipse 4 blade, muledeer and black bear with a Zephyr Sausquatch 4 blade, and I have some 220 grain Muzzy phantoms that I haven't got a chance to try on a critter yet.
Title: Re: anybody use four blade broadheads?
Post by: Bobby Urban on October 03, 2011, 09:30:00 AM: That is exactly what it looked like Charlie. I guess I could pull it out of the frig and take a photo but I have it soaking in a salt brine to extract the blood before I prepare it for tonights dinner simmered with peppers and onions in an alfredo sauce over rigatoni. Can't wait - may have to take a pic of dinner to get you all drooling!
