Woodsman. This was the first year I used a 3 blade and was not disappointed. Killed 5 deer with them, all but one was a pass through. The one that wasnt I hit the shoulder, it went through and lodged in the off side one. All this was from a 53 pound longbow, you cant go wrong with it

I just bought a pack of Razorcaps, and I like them. I really like that they're stainless, they don't rust after you hunt in a little rain. They're not as sharp as advertised, but nowdays, it dosen't seem that anything is. I sharpened WW and Snuffers, they took forever on just a stone, only to rust up if you take them out in a heavy fog. And yes, I do touch up my Rzorcaps after a couple times in and out of my quiver, but I don't have to grind off surface rust.

Here is one of the many deer that have fallen to a 160 grain Snuffer. As long as you get the super sharp, they will drain a critter in a hurry. I like the edges to "grab" a little, meaning leaving a slight burr on the edge. Seems to make a huge opening(shown here).
 I start off on new ones with a flat file and finish with a whet stone. To maintain the edge I use a stone

Arwin.... I am sure your choice of broadhead is fine, but really, if you hit them where your picture shows, I think a sharp stick  would work well.   Great shot placement.

Hmmm, Arwin, something looks familiar about that shot!

 

This was with a Wenzel Woodsman this fall. Sure does make for some short blood trails!

Very good shooting guys!   :thumbsup:  

I've had great results with both Woodsmans and Razorcaps and can highly recommend both.

I killed a #2000 Bison with a WW out of a 70# longbow and a 630 total weight arrow.  So, if you were hunting whitetails with a decent weight set up I wouldn't see a problem shooting snuffers if I wanted to shoot a 3 blade.  Caribou/Elk and bigger, I'd choose the WW.
