I'm still babying my last dozen Magnus Journeyman Broadheads(Magnus if you're reading this you should REALLY start making these again). Two blade 160gr, they sharpen well, great flight, takes a beating and comes back for more.

I have shot 2 blade heads for over 40 years.  Tried a bunch and have settled in on Zwickey and Magnus heads with steel inserts for my carbon shafts that get me up to 200 grains up front.  I get excellent flight and penetration with that combination.

This is a 190 el grande griz. I have moved on to the 200 gr el grande griz. Awesome head.

Sorry about the pic quality, cell phone. This was a neck shot. Buck dropped in its tracks.

I shoot two blade heads exclusively.The older Bear Razorheads and the Ace Standards are my choice depending on my bow set-up. Never seen a need for single bevel, but I'm mostly hunting whitetail deer and pigs. "Keep-Um sharp".   :campfire:

Zwickey and Magnus mostly. Although I have some 160 and 190 Grizzly. Bought some 3 blades here awhile back, but wound up giving them away. They were still in the package.

I hunt mostly whitetails and have used many different 2 and 3 blade heads. There are a lot of good ones available.

My favorite is the 160 Ribtek. I've used them on wood, aluminum, and carbon. If I had to choose one head and one shaft I'd pick the 160 Ribtek on the end of a carbon shaft through all of my bows, both recurve and longbows.

one of my reasons for starting this thread is i was wondering if 2-blades produce blood trails that are just as good as 3 or 4 blades, if someone wants to post pics that would be awsome

search PowWow for "blood" and you will see some good pics of blood trails.
especially one on May 26 by Highplains.  
the new Woodsman in 100 grain is only an inch wide and with a 50,75 or 100 grain arrow insert i think this 3 blade would be awesome.  a friend of mine has shown me a couple exit holes on deer he has shot with them and you can see daylight through them.

Bayhunter like i said at the top of your thread i have shot both 2,3,and 4 blade heads.I was a booking agent for the Santa Catalina and Santa Cruz islands off the coast of LA for bow hunters for many years. The amimals were hogs,spanish goats and sheep.Had alot of time to see the effect of all three styles of broadheads.I have also shot bear,elk, deer, ect.It all came down to this.All do great if put in the right spot.I have had good and bad blood trails with all three.I did find a few things that eadged the 2 blade.More often i got two holes,another was  touched on by some earlier,3 and 4 blades seem to have more fat,guts,ect that clog the hole.I really have found the 2 blade a advantage for me.Hope this is of some help.

I used 3 blades for years, but a few years back I took the Magnus 1 2-blade to Solana on the end of my Gold Tips shot from my Shawnee.  Three hunts 4 shots, 4 hits (2 on one doe, a spine shot with a quick follow up), three deer on the ground with a total trail of 105 yards for all three deer.  60# bow and all 4 arrows passed through the deer, the one doe was at 27 yards and the arrow stayed in but went into her up to the fletchings.  Blood trails were very good, especially on the stingy bleeders there in TX.  

Still like my 3 and 4 blades, but wouldn't hesitate to use 2-blades, as long as they are wide (at least 1 1/2") out of my 60# plus bows.

Greenies, and Concordes, and Zwickeys...oh my! I like the Bear greenies, Tusker Concordes, and Zwickey No mercy BH's in and around the 145-250 range. I have recently fell in love with my Concordes and have two delicious meat hogs in the freezer from those lovely BH's. The greenies I love because well they just work. I like the Zwickey's cause that's what I shot growing up with my Dad, along with the Bear Greenies. I tried the Concordes to try out the single bevel craze and I must say I do love the way they shoot and kill animals. They do take a little time to learn how to sharpen but once they're sharp they seem to stay sharp for a good while. Hope this helps.
