Best flying broadheads

[Lee Lobbestael]

What is the one broadhead you guys found to fly better than any other? I have noticed a marked difference in how forgiving some broadheads are in respect to arrow tuning compared to others. Some broadheads it seems like would only fly good out of perfectly tuned arrows, while others (very few) it seems like I could stick on the end of a pool cue or on the end of a flyrod and they would still fly like a field point! I have found that Howard Hill broadheads are like this. However they are extremely hard to sharpen

I haven't found any that wouldn't fly good unless they weren't the right weight for the arrow/bow in question!

I have never had an issue with any broadhead not flying good. I use mostly bear Razorheads and zwickey no mercys. Have tried a lot of heads. If your bow is  tuned correctly  it shouldn't matter.

In my experience, most broadheads will fly great if the arrow it sits on flies well without feathers, unless the broadhead is bent some. Woodsmans have been the most tolerant of a poorly tuned arrow for me, but I prefer Zwickey Eskimo.

As mentioned most will fly well with a good tune, but there are definitely heads that tend to be more "forgiving" and fly extremely well even if tune is less than ideal or you make a poor release.  

I shoot more broadheads than anything, and get to try lots of them.  Here are a few I have noticed that have raised to the top of the heap in the forgiveness category:

Howard Hill
Hunter's Head
STOS
Tusker Javelin
Tusker Spirit
Woodsman

I imagine I've forgotten a few.  Hope this helps.

Those smaller zwickey Eskimos and mangus stingers are like that. I've shot them on arrows that were nothing close to tuned and gotten accurate flight. The VPA 3 blades are offly easy to get good flight with as well.
...then there are some heads I've messed with to no end and haven't gotten good flight. All Simmons heads would be in this category although I haven't tried the smaller ones only the treeshark and interceptors

[Michael Arnette]

...yeah better add the woodsman to that list. Basically any head that is less then 1 1/8" and fairly short

[tracker12]

Never had any bh fly bad out off my trad gear.  A tuned arrow with trad gear speeds should throw just about anything

That's about what I was going to say.
The longer and wider the head the more any tuning issues will be exaggerated....which is not to say a WIDE LONG head can't be tuned...it's just more picky.

I've found 3 blade VPA's to be very easy all around.

Heck I tune my bow using long/wide BHs to show the issues. It is all about proper tune unlike the compound world where they throw on an expandable and just shoot.

It's all about the arrow tune.  I must have gotten good or lucky when tuning because I have never had an issue with BH flight.  I only shoot Grizzly Kodiak BHs which are long and wide.  They fly like darts - just like my field points.

[9 Shocks]

VPA 3 blades...easy to sharpen and easy to tune.

[Biathlonman]

Easiest for me have always been Grizzlies and old MA3 heads.

[SuperK]

Grizzlies, Howard Hills, Woodsman, Zwickey Eskimos and No Mercy.  I used to say that if your wooden arrow will shoot a field point good, it will shoot a Grizzly of the same weight good.

[drewsbow]

vpa three blade and simmons two blade

[Zwickey-Fever]

Zwickey Deltas fly great on woodies and carbons. Simmons Tiger Sharks fly just as good on my woodies as well.

[Fletcher]

I shoot Grizzly Kodiaks and Instincts with no flight issues, but I'm picky about tuning and paper tune.  Woodsmans and VPAs have always shot very well for me as well.

[Gordon Jabben]

Without a doubt, the Howard Hill broadhead flies as good as a field point even in wind and even if your arrows are of the wrong spine.

[Deno]

Howard Hill.   Eskimos

I also shoot 2 and 3 blade VPAs, Woodsmen, Grizzlies, Simmons, and Zwickey heads.  I really couldn't tell a difference out to 20 yards with a tuned bow/arrow.  This is from carbon, wood and aluminum.
