Zwickey Black Diamonds
« on: September 04, 2009, 04:51:00 PM »
What can you guys tell me about Zwickey Black Diamond Broadheads, good and bad?  I purchased some 125 gr. Zwickey's to hunt with this year. I'll glue in some screw-in adapters so I can use them on my CE Heritage 150's.

You will be pleased.  Easy to sharpen, fly perfect and are deadly.  I have used Zwickey broadheads since the late 80s...

I've shot deltas for about 25 years now. I love them. I've tried a lot of different tips and keep coming back. They really work good on elk. Great penetration. Gary

This is my fourth season hunting Trad. I have had them on since the first time out. I have taken seven deer with them in that time, they work good.

Love 'um, used the big Delta for over 35yrs. My huntin partner has used the Eskimo for as many years. There may be better out there, but you'll work hard to prove it!

Have used Zwickeys for many years and I have no complaints or problems. I used them on wood arrows but now use the 100 grain steel broadhead adapters with the Zwickeys on my Gold Tip shafts.

I have used others.  When I think of fall and hunting, only Zwickey comes to mind.  None better.

I've shot 4 blade delta's for  47 years now. I have tried lots of others over the years & always end up back hunting with the delta's. I still hunt with some that I started with that are now 2 blade as I sharpened the bleader off over the years.
