Zwickey deltas. Why change? They been working for me for 20 years.

Used a lot of different 2 blade heads over the years but for quite a while now I've been sticking to  Ribteks.

As John said, easy to sharpen, real tough, inexpensive, and they fly good for me. I really like the 160's. I've got plenty left so no need to change now.

I am still sticking with my MA-II's. 125 grains with 25 grain screw in adapters for 150 grains total.

Wide, but not too wide. Long, but not too long.

Fly just right.

Magnus I's are pretty good. Nice blood trails.

Depending on which of my two recurves I'm shooting, either the 145 grain or 130 grain STOS. They're durable, the tips don't curl, easy to sharpen, inexpensive, fly like a field point and hit where I look.

For the past few years I've been shooting Ace Express 165.  I like the weight, size and the straight edge is easiest for me to sharpen.  I file a tanto type point on them and have never damaged one.  The Zwickey Delta is also very high on my list, but I wish they were heavier.

Even before all this FOC hype started up, I found that heavier heads just shot better for me.  Now that we're getting some heads heavier than 160, I'm moving towards them.

The original 160 gr Elburg Grizzly.  I load this with 125 gr steel adapters for a 285 gr head.  

They are sharp and tough.

160 grain STOS. They are easy to sharpen and very strong. On the weekend, I shot two into big rocks, and they were untouched and absolutely perfect. So were the shafts, which were Douglas fir from Surewood Shafts. I didn't mean to shoot rocks, but there was a cat there. The cat lives still, by a whisker.
