broadhead
« on: August 27, 2015, 05:32:00 PM »
Im trying to determine what head to use this year.
I have simmons on them now and they fly OK
However I wodering if I should use a 3 blade (woodsman or snuffer)
I hunt somewhat close to other homes.
Knowing how fast a hit deer travel I want them to go down asap?
Any thoughts?

Just make sure they're sharp, take only shots with which you're comfortable and you shouldn't have any problems. There's no one best broadhead.

Those Simmons should be as good as any Snuffer and better than the woodsman...I'd keep em

If you don't want them to go far, use a long lean and wicked sharp cut on contact two blade head and put it where it belongs.

Whatever you use make sure it's sharp and goes where you want.  A great broadhead won't make up for a poor placement.

I like two-edge to help guarantee penetration out the far side with my lighter bows.  Tried a three blade last year but no shot was offerred, so the jury is still out for me.  I've hunted two-edge many years and heads like Stos, Magnus II, RibTec and Zwickey have done well by me.  

I don't feel at a disadvantage with any of those.  But I found a "hoard" of 1960 era Mowoc Dots and want to try a three edge to see if I've been missing something.

Its the Indian not the broadhead that will make them go down fast.

150 grain Magnus Stinger shaving sharp will do the trick.

Deer that are alerted will travel farther.  A relaxed deer and placement of a super sharp broadhead will do more for you than any particular head.

Deer die very quickly with Simmons heads, will put as much blood on the ground as Snuffers sometimes a whole lot more especially the Tree sharks..I will say with really sharp Woodsmans the deer I have shot have acted like they were stung by a bee and ran off 10-20 yds. and fell over dead.

Simmons sharks put game down quicker than any other broadhead - cuts the recovery distance in half - next best is Eclipse - sharp of course - and do your part. This is from notes on 60 hogs and 100 deer just the last 10 years. We were seeing this informally before then.
Good hunting

Accurate, lengthy data collection and controlled variables would statistically reveal heads with the edge.

Proper setup, placing a tuned arrow with a sharp head on the mark, on whitetails, will provide the desired outcome.
