Don't change if you know it works...

I know they work with my 57# Lil Favorite, but I'm thinking about a 49-50 # Classic Hunter.

[Ray Lyon]

48-50# classic hunter at your draw with 225 grains up front on Easton Axis 500 shafts and Tim's 3 blade Trailmaker Head will only bring one question.....do you like your backstraps rare or medium rare????????  

[**DONOTDELETE**]

Rare with a side of Jameson....cased with apple pie from your folks orchard!!!!!

When it comes to broadheads I'm as fickle as a farm boy at a barn dance, I gotta dance with em all.         There's been times that I've had two or three different heads in my quiver at a time when hunting. I really like BIG two blade heads, they sharpen easy and cut a hole like a small ax. In the 50's I used the big 2 blade Goshawk, then the Pierson DeadHead and as of late the Ace Super Express.

I've killed a lot of deer with the old Bear Razorhead which made an + going in and a - coming out because the bleeder would collapse when if went past the rib bones, but of coarse that's what it was designed to do.

Sometime around 1960 I used the 3 blade M-A 3 and Bodkin heads and killed some deer with them. I always got good penetration and good blood trails with those heads. If you're familiar with the M-A 3 and Bodkin heads you know that the steel was not the best to get a good edge so I would serrate them with a file.

Are 3 blades good heads? are 4 blades good? are 2 blades good?...     :confused:   . Yes on all of them. Sharp heads and good shot placement is still the key for any broadhead.  As to which is best??...

I'm a dancin man so

  When the leaves turn gold an there's a hunters moon, an fall is in the air.
I'm gonna dance to the hunters tune..which broadhead? I don't much care.  


Here's one I shot with an M-A 3 back in 1961

I never thought about the old Bear Razorheads and the + going in with the - going out....I learn something everyday.

Doesn't Jenkins use the old MA-2's when he makes his "Hackstackers?"

My wife shoots 45 # @ 26" with 200 grain Razorcaps. She shot this buck last week. Hit it in front of the right hip and the arrow came out the left lung. As long as the arrow shoots straight and is razpr sharp you should have no problems. She has also taken other deer and bear all with two holes shooting four blade Muzzy Phantoms. Back in the 50's when Bear introduced the four blade Razorhead the average bow weight was 45#-50#.

Man Bill, for a guy who has been doing this 59 years, you sure do have a young wife

Anybody have any experience using Thunderheads?  I want to buy some Woodsmans, but I have a pile of Thunderhead 125's that I used when I shot compound.  I am just wondering how much penetration the cut on contact buys.

[hvyhitter]

In real life the difference in penetration between a thunderhead and cut on contact 3 blade isnt much. Any hunting weight bow will usually put nice holes in both sides of a deer. I used thunderheads for years and only went to snuffers once I figured out how to sharpen them.

Ward \\ Texas,

KME is having aluminum oxide ceramic stones made for them.  As it was explained to me there are many ways to "cook" them and Ron kit on a fantastic recipe.  They cut very clean and leave behind nice smooth sharp edges.

I just recieved 2 KME aluminum oxide stones last night. My first impression is that they are a pretty darn efficient way to sharpen a 3 blade head. I have the coarse and medium fine grit.
