I've used the original Woodsman broadhead for several years now. I like them because they are easy to sharpen, fly like darts, are tough, and aren't expensive.
I've killed quite a few hogs(that's mostly what I hunt)with Magnus heads, VPA, and a few with Zwickeys.

I see a bunch of great broadheads mentioned here and it has me thinking about trying several different broadheads, especially those Simmon's Tiger Sharks!

Ive taken game with several of the previous mentioned heads, bear, zwickey, wensel, vpa, simmons,bodkin, magnus, and they have all worked my latest is the stos 160 with adapter to 200 grns, I have taken 4 deer with them so far and they might become my favorite.

Find much delight in having a vast variety of viable options.
Find much delight in knowing that virtually any reasonable choice possess its own lethality.
Find much delight in knowing that I just need to focus on making the shot.

Z DELTA 4 Blades...
Z NO MERCY 4Blades...
Cause I like getting an entrance and an exit whole with extra blades for more leakage.....and, the bleeders aren't wide enough to imped penetration but do negate arrow pinch...
I also use WWs for same reason.
But 90% of the time it's ZD4s
I like running as much hardware through them as possible....quicker kill, more carnage, n more blood for thick terrain.

300 xtreme. Got a stash of them. Only 300gr 3 blade I like. Not made anymore but I have enough to last my lifetime. Cause I can get them scary sharp and they make a good hole.

Thanks everybody. I do like trying a new broadhead every year, but always seem to come back to Zwickey Delta 2 blade. I like solid blades because vented blades I tend to get a whistling sound for somen reason.

150gr German Kinetics (both 1 1/8" and 1 1/2" depending on animal hunted) 2 blades for most stuff because that are the sharpest out of the box BH you can get, and because they are super tough. I also use 150gr Magnus Stinger (2-blade or 2-blade with bleeder) mostly for hogs because thay are also very reliable BH's and they are not such a big loss when the occasional hog runs off with one of them!

As most of you know, I am a big fan of ACE Archery Products.
I have had good luck with the ACE Standard.
I would highly recommend any of the broadheads in the ACE Archery line.

I have been using grizzlys since about 1990. I find them easiest to sharpen and they fly the best for me. They are also a good value compared to most other single bevel heads. I also use zwickey eskimos and deltas on occasion. I have a few no mercy heads but haven't hunted with them yet.

I shot a doe this year with a Palmer Extreme cut 4 blade which looks like an oversized Muzzy phantom. Really like the head but on my hog hunt I used some old snuffers I had and a two blade that I don't know who made it.

I like wide 2 blade broadheads. The broadheads I have taken deer or hogs with that pleased me are Zwickey Delta, Zephyr Sasquatch, Magnus Snuffer, Muzzy Phantom and Simmons Tree Shark. Broadheads I have used that didn't like Muzzy 3 blade with chisel point killed 2 deer with them only got 1 hole.
The confidence issue is big for me. When you have razor sharp 1 1/2" or 2" out front it puts my mind at ease.
However when I go elk hunting next year I will probably use a Grizzly or Cutthroat. They have bigger bones and Tom Clumm from RMSgear recommended it and he has killed a few elk. Thats gives me confidence.

VPA 3 blade.
Quality head.
They come in a range of weights that can be made to work with any setup I've had.
I can sharpen 3 blades much easier than 2 blades.
