help picking the right broadhead?

[BradLantz]

What I have right now

Broadhead for white tail:ZWICKEY DELAT
Blades(# of): 2
Bevel: DOUBLE

last two years I've shot Steel Force 225 gr single bevel and loved them

You can get the Woodsman elites which are the same head as the VPA from 3rivers.

Sounds like im going with zwickey but the only weight I see on 3river is 135 for the ones I looked at. Im thinking of going for glue on and just getting the inserts for it, I like the idea of choosing which way I face my broadheads.

Anywhere to get the zwickeys in more custom weight.

I put mine straight up and down. I like the back of the head to touch my knuckle.

What kind of weight do you need? Between short/long aluminum/steel adapters you could get a bunch of weights out of the same head. Brass inserts are another option.

Like Hvyhitter said I pick my broadhead then tune arrows to the head.

Zwickey Delta's. Thats what I shoot. Like rob said you can make them how you want them.

3 Blade Snuffer, a lot easier to sharpen than most and you will get a big hole! Shawn

I shot my biggest buck ever with a Zwicky Delta. 35 yards up hill.  the deer went down before the arrow fell out of the branches beyond the deer. If you want to shoot something a little lighter that may fly better for shorter or lighter weight arrows the Eskimos have always done the job for us nearly as well. Plus I like how nice Zwicky head can be sharpened with a file, if you are sharpening challenged Zwicky is the way to go.

This is my formula for carbon shafts:

FOC   
ARROW   length   29.5
   shaft+feathers+nock wt      259 (Beman ICS Bowhunter 500)
   separate insert weight?      30 (standard aluminum that comes with the ICS)
   adapter weight?      100 (Steel from 3rivers)
   point weight      130 (Zwickey Delta - been sharpened a few times so 130 instead of 135)
   total arrow weight      519
   balance length      21.25
      FOC %   22.03
         
GPP   
draw wt      46   (Kanati)
arrow wt 519   
GPP 11.28


This combo will shoot through whitetails easily. It also kills the heck out of turkeys.     :D    

This year I'm going with Deltas on POC shafts...old school trad...    

BTW: I mount my broadheads vertically as well. I also use the back of the head as a draw indicator.

x2
get that arrow weight up around 500 grains
if your shots are gonna be 15 yrds or so put a sharp 3 blade 125 snuffer thru the lungs and you
and you will have earned yourself a whitetail

I just put on my 4 blade deltas and they aren't straight up and down. More of a main blade  2 and 8 sort of thing. Just remember after you set them if your going to take them off number them. 6 arrows and 6 broadheads are a pain to find the angle combo again.
