What is the "best" glue on, 2 blade, 125-130 grain broadhead currently (or recently discontinued) manufactured?

Not sure why you did not include Zwickey Delta's in the list.  An exceptional head that has been around for a long, long time.

I just got a few of the new double bevel Grizzly Bruin and to say I was impressed would be a huge understatement.  They are what I look for in a broadhead.

The only reason that I didn't include the Delta was because it weighs 135 grains.  I know, that's not much, but the purpose of this poll is to "see" which "standard weight" broadhead does the Gang like best.  The Eskimo has been considered "the standard" by many for years.  Just wondering if it still is?

I like Ace........but most of the ones listed are excellent and have been around for a long time.

I have had excellent results with Zwicky eskimo, but I have no doubt any on the list would have worked just as well.

A list without Zwickey hardly seems complete.

Of those listed, I'd probably pick the Ace, but I haven't shot a 125 grain head in many years and the last one was a Woodsman 3-blade.

OF the ones you listed I had to go with the tried and true Zwickey Eskimo.  Shot them myself for years.


At this time and really past 20 years been shooting Ribteks...160 and 190 heads along with Snuffer 160 when desired.  My hoard of Ribteks is still good but selling a few here or there to help people out has put a big dent in my stockpile of 190s and 160s...and a good Snuffer is impossible to find now.

So a couple three years ago started shooting also some Grizzly Kodiaks and then the Instincts.

Like them equally as well....nothing sharpens as easily for me as those Ribteks...but all fly great and do the job.

Find one that flies great, is tough, holds an edge that you can repeat in the field alone with file, stones, or your choice of sharpening tool....and stick with it.  Lots of outstanding heads out there.

If I did not shoot any of the above I would go to the Tuff Head I believe....

this best broadhead thing is getting ridiculous around here but for fun I voted Grizzly which to me is classic single bevel right there,,,,,, if double bevel I'd voted ACE all day long the best and followed by its big brother the super express no other head really matters.

would of loved to see the Abowyer up there though,,, better not phase that one out..
