2 or 3 blade broadheads ?

[Jayrod]

I like my two blade Simmons tigersharks they cut a mean hole and fly like a DREAM!!

[Dave Pagel]

I am 3 blade fan.  I like Snuffers, Grizzly Instincts and VPAs depending on the bow I am shooting.  I have 2 blades and 4 blades and use them occasionally on elk hunts, but my deer and bear hunting is usually done with 3 blades.  

I love the blood trails with a 3 blade and I can get them sharp again with a file in the field after starting them on my KME stones at home.

I did pick up some Simmons and may shoot them out of a 50# bow I plan on using in the late season.  They do look wicked.

D.P.

At low poundage it really does not matter what broadhead you shoot if you get in the shoulder. it will turn out bad.I shoot the Badger and Grizzly and woodsman. Long a lean on a three blade is good. RC

the correct and easy answer is - you'll never know unless you test out the heads and arrows in yer bow, with you shooting.  i wish there was an easier way, but truthfully there ain't.  however ...

imo, in the long run most any coc broadhead will be fine for thin skinned animals (deer, etc).  the things to strive for are consistently good arrow flight, consistently good accuracy by the operator (you, the bowhunter), really REALLY sharp blades, and a decent gpp arrow weight for the most stable and quiet flight.

I am running with the Grizzlies , a hair over 10gpp. I would really like that up around 11 but they are flying like darts out to 35yds. I always keep my effective yardage inside 15yds so I should be good. The bow is super quiet , a lttle lighter than I would normally shoot but very accurate for me.

Thank you, Bill! I consider that quite the compliment.

Yep, a 2 blade or a narrow 3 blade...SCARY SHARP!!

I've killed several with big snuffers, but at about 10 more pounds. I like Magnus 1's really well. They fly and penetrate great, and cut a big hole.

Here is a picture of the Grizzly Instinct that guys have suggested. Its long and lean!

[Rob DiStefano]

mmmmmm, griz instinct looks Nice!

[TX FLY CASTER]

That does look nice !!!!!

I have two of those Zips....going to get adapters in them this week.

I like the Simmons Tree Sharks. You would think that a 2" cut would might be too much and adversely affect the penetration, but it does not seem too. Blood trails are easy to follow, really easy.

I shoot relatively light bows (42#-50#) and never liked Snuffers; primarily because they are so noisy in flight.  Actually had one bounce off a turkey a couple of years ago.  They might be fine, but a two  blade or longer three blade would give you a little more margin for error.  I'm shooting Woodsman Elite 160 right now and really like them (well, not the price so much).
