[elkbreath]

holy smokes RC!!!  that is a hole.  Incredible how there's no blood on the coat. The hole must of torn open a bit as he ran?

For whitetails, why not use a big snuffer?

I swear sometimes I could put a blunt through them (sarcasm intended).

My hunting Buddy Chris Spikes shot this buck a few years ago. He was quartering away and only got one lung. The deer went a Mile. The shot was around 8 am and we found the deer at around 5:30. It was still alive.Jumped up ran about  100 yards and was to weak to get up again.A steady and for most of the way a profuse blood trail. Would we have found him with a smaller head? Who knows.RC

 

In this case yes that big head helped to recover that deer. But better shot placement and that size of head would not have been necessary. That being said no I do not think you would have recovered him with a smaller head, all other things being the same. So I guess it is a toss up as to what size head to use. I personally like standard sized heads because I like to get as much penetration as possible.

Chris has killed I think 78 deer with a bow and Simmons heads.I saw a video he did of a mature buck he shot at 4 yards and a treeshark went in through the spine and had an exit in his brisket.He was shooting a 490 grain arrow from a 65 pound predator recurve.RC

You cant really go wrong? all of the Bheads mentioned here have long histories of killin critters, all Bheads have left tons of blood most of the time and maybe just a few times that they didn't, 2, 3, and 4 bladed.

Most of you crew are way more experienced than myself but really a good stout proven head? can you go wrong? Bout all you cando is judge the poundae you pull and pick a friendly size that is good for your poundage, get it razor sharp and put it where your supposed to.

Terry,
Didn't you have a tutorial on sharpening Zwickey's a few years ago or am I thinking of someone else?

Cool pic BTW,
Joe

[Terry Green]

Joe....yes...its on the 'how to' archives.

BTW Steven...you might want to think about the Zwickey No Mercy.  I was talking to Charlie Lamb years ago about about a cross between the Delta and the Eskimo.  That if Z made a Bhead the length of the Delta and the with of the Eskimo it would be on dandy all around 4 blade......and then they came out with it and they didn't even ask me!!!          

You got a better angle of attack with the No Mercy...and I passed through Block Head with it.....my 1st shot with the No Mercy....

Terry,  that's it.

Thanks!

I used eskimos for a couple seasons a few years back

I have been using Zwikee Eskimo's for over 30 years now.  I have also used the Eskimo 4 bld.  However, I think the 2 blade is just fine.  I could send photos, but I might just mention the animals.  Moose, caribou, grizzly, elk, mule deer, mt. lion, turkeys, javelina, etc.  All were taken with the Zwikee.  Why spend more $$$ and they are easy to sharpen.  Give me a new head and 1/2 hr.later, it will have a longer taper and you will be able to shave with it.

Here's a picture of a cow elk taken with a Zwickey Eskimo.  The 650 gr. arrow was going only 143 fps. but penetrated 20". Blood trail was good when I could see it (vegetation was turning brown so the blood was very difficult to see until it sprayed on a tree or downed log).  I did not get full penetration but the BH was pushing up against the off-side hide, so I only had one hole bleeding.  I have taken about 12 big game animals with Zwickey Eskimos and I love them.
