Making the final decision on broadheads?
« on: August 27, 2017, 07:14:00 AM »
Down to three.... all 125 3 blades.
Woodsman... trueness of glue-in inserts?  Sharpening?

Thunderheads... a bit of cone tip to reduce penetration, but sharp from the box.

NAP Hellrazors... short and a bit heavier angle.  Sharpening?
Super Curves.....
Covert Hunter Hex9h
Morrison Max 6 ILF
Mountain Muffler strings to keep them quiet
Shoot as much weight as you can with accuracy

Don't know why this is so hard for people.
 Pick a sharp pointed one and go hunting

Have you shot all three? If so pick the one that shoots the best. If not just pick one and don't be afraid of sharpening. There are many tutorials on here and other places to show you how. I was nervous about sharpening too until I watched some videos and read a few things on 3 blade sharpening. Grabbed a file I had and tried it. After a few strokes with file and ceramic stick I was shaving hair. All three you describe will work just fine but if you're worried about glue in inserts I suggest you try the vpa. I used them last year and they fly like darts! Have fun

Magnus stinger since you don't want to resharpen they would be perfect just buy a pack of replacement main blades and your good to go again . Plus you can send back your old ones and they will send you new ones ! Can't beat em

I would go with the Woodsman; cut on contact, easy to sharpen and a 3/1(mol) ratio.
 If your glue in insert is true there shouldn't be a problem with the broadhead. I use Woodsman on cane and hardwood shoot arrows and have no problem getting my arrows to spin true.

Woodsman is my choice. Easy to sharpen, fly great and awesome blood trails.
