The only complaint that I've ever had with Razorheads, is that every time I kill a deer with one, it's usually bent beyond use!
However... I've got a cool little souvenir box, that brings back many memories!!!
I only shoot WOOD arrows... My kid makes them, fast as I can break them!

Hello Chuck!

I like the VPA three blade heads myself... Easy to get razor sharp on a flat stone and tough as nails when shot into "stuff" during testing...

I've shot 4-blade Zwickey Deltas for years. Probably killed more critters with them and 2-blade Deltas than any other head I've shot.  Always have at least one in my quiver.  Over the years, I've also added STOS two blades (have enough to last me) and single bevel Abowyer heads.  In a three-blade head, pretty hard to beat the Wensel Woodsman, but I also like a big Snuffer for turkey.

Woodsman. Easy to get shaving sharp. Three cuts are better than two. Good blood trail. Good length to width ratio. And the price is right.

I gotta go with the Zwickey Eskimo!  I have tried a bunch of different ones since 1973, but Eskimos are tuff, fly great (even in a cross wind), sharpen easy, hold an edge, mount true, priced right and they are green!     :D     The biggest problem I have is deciding 2 edge or 4.

Too bad about Stos, I have had good luck with them.

STOS 160
and Zwickey Delta
They are easy to sharpen, penetrate well.

Grizzly !!!  Love the profile and how well they shoot. I can get them razor sharp as well with very little effort.

Zwickey Delta - Time-tested, time-proven. Tough as nails and easy to get shaving-sharp. I also like Deltas because they are a big cut.

Woodsman heads for 3 blades. I would have said Snuffers but they are gone with the wind. Hopefully in the future someone will pick back up the Snuffer head and continue making them.

I do believe Terry gave about as good an endorsement as any out there for his beloved Zwickeys. I don't have a high octane resume like he does.

That said, I shoot Simmons Tree Sharks. Why?
Because I have the horsepower, and the "Broadheads and holes they leave" thread said I should.   :biglaugh:

They've worked well for me so far!

Another reason I love my Grizzlys.

I have had this neck bone on my desk for several years. I pulled the broad head out just see how sharp it was and to my surprise it still shaved hair.

Snuffers. Theyve worked for me since going back to stick n sting n 1992 so Ive seen no reason to change..........

I need to find a broad head that stands the arrow point down and feathers in the air after they go through a deer.  The last three deer in a row that i have shot with original Schulz Hunter's Heads have done a disappearing act on me.  That makes six so far.  Right now I have 6 Hills, 6 single bevel Hills, 6 Grizzlies and my last 6 original Schulz Hunter's Heads on wood arrows ready to go.   I fear that I may be flipping that coin until opening day.

Stone: Flintridge material is good but I really like Texas rock. Makes a real nice and sharp hunting point.

My back up is Black Diamond two blades.

Simmons....I shot a buck last year in the last few minutes of legal shooting light, wasn't even sure if I hit him but when I got down it was all pretty obvious.  Amazing blood trail, short recovery, and excellent penetration.

Razorheads mostly and Howard Hill heads the rest of the time.
No particular reason why.
