Woodsman Elite or Snuffer?

[Johan van Niekerk]

Don't the snuffers whistle a lot? The game hereabouts tend to stringjump easily so noise for me is a HUGE issue.

Johan: When I shot Snuffers I coated them with a very thin film of petroleum jelly....stopped all the noise and helped with corrosion of the edges.

Ya they whistle a little. I call it the whistle of death.

Stan of Red Feather Archery was kind enough to send me a couple of test broadheads.  I got one 150 gr. glue on Phoenix and one 150 gr. glue on talon.  Both shot like darts and produced impressive penetration.  I've found my broadhead for the season!  The Phoenix does have the woodsman whistle, but I've never heard of that causing and issue hunting and I also hear that vasoline will eliminate the sound.

Here's the final decision and tune arrow...

Chundoo 65-70 shaft cut to 29" BOP with Red Feather Archery Phoenix Single Bevel Broadhead, 150 grains.  

These heads are top notch quality, easy to sharpen, 50 rockwell and just plain nasty... I am certain they will put down the animals quickly and humanly... and that is MY personal goal.
