Considering trying out a pack of 110 Eskilites to make up a 150 gr screw in broadhead. I prefer the 4 blade. Thoughts? Experiences?
Before anyone recommends Magnus Stingers
I love them but looking for something different for small game and just because

I've never shot the 4 but I like the two blade. Almost exact size and shape of the bear razorhead.

I used to shoot them a lot. Once you get them sharp you'll be good to go. Good strong heads that have taken lots of game.

I use the 2 blade Esklites with the insert they ship with, 135 grains total. The are very durable and easy to sharpen. I had one zip through a straw bail, strike a rock and curl pretty bad. I was able to hammer it out on the anvil and it flies true to this day.

I shoot them and really like them. As Tom mentioned my are 135s. They shoot great on my 2016 Legacy's, strong, durable, easy to sharpen and the price is right.

One of the most popular broadheads we sell.

Used to use them, fly good decent to sharpen amd cheap. Those tips are real bad to curl however

I have 13 of them laying downstairs. Three factory screw-ins, the rest have inserts.
They run 145-150 grains each. I shot them last year and they fly very well. Also sharpen easily.
I am going to a 125 three blade this year so if interested, shoot me a PM or email.
And yes, they fly right with some old Bears that I have.

Those sure have a great reputation and it's amazing how cheap hey are. Makes me wonder why I pay for some of the BH's I use.

I used a 2-blade Eskalite (Black Diamond when I bought them) on a doe two years ago. Double lung, 50yd, dead. Blood trail was profuse.
I like them.

Have harvested several deer with Eskimos, had excellent results. I would expect no less from the eskilites!
