Steelforce single bevel, 200 gr.

They fly great, sharpen up something freaky, follow Doc Ashby's recipe for success, and cost a lot less than the real deal Ashby broadheads.

I haven't taken game with them yet but I wouldn't hesitate to use them on anything we've got in North America.

My favorite broadhead is the one that i can get the sharpest the easiest.
My favorite 3 blade is the VPA terminator.  My favorite 2 blade is the Silverflame XL.  Here's a great thread that Charlie Lamb did on broadheads..

STOS. 2 blade I can get it in a glue on 160 grain. I like the tanto tip. It sharpens easy and shoots like my field points.

I've been shooting Ace Standards since 2004, and don't look to change anytime soon (if it ain't broke...). They've worked great for me on anything from grouse to deer, elk, hogs, and moose.

Gotta agree w/ everyone.  If you can get them to fly straight and can get them sharp, then they are OK.  The old wide Magnus 2 blade is what I have used for years.  Good flight and a big hole.  Works for me.
