Yes, I am shooting them out of a 64# Thunderstick Longbow. I can get 4 into a Great Northern so I would imagine you could get them into a Selway.

Mysticguido,
            Mind if I ask what poundage of bow did you shoot for that buck?

 I see it now in a previous post. Good deer.

It's a great little bow...I got it used and fit me like it was made just for me... I took off the leather handle wrap and wrapped it with artificial sinew.

I can fit 4 inside of my selway with no problem.  I have the 6 arrow holder and I can layer them in fine along with a judo point for roaming.

George,
Those Snuffers look like they make great big holes in things. I bet the wind blowing through one of thoes holes might sound like one of those flour orange bear whistles.....LOL

That is my next question....What about the noise whistleing through the broadhead?  Any noise?

Also what about penetration?  Does the wide three blades slow it down enough to stay with tow blade grizzlys?

And... has anyone shot a bull elk with a snuffer?  What happened?

Thanks

Richie,

Two elk with Snuffers, pass thru on one, the other hit the off-side shoulder.

Two elk with WW, both pass thrus.  Knock off the tips a bit.

No noise that I can hear...but my hearing is less than great!

60#s, 2018 or 250 Heritage, 550 grains.

I believe the broadhead was named because of what it did to elk...

Yep, I use snuffers. They weren't messing around when they designed that head! Awesome broadhead for smaller game! I love them!    :bigsmyl:

My favorite......yes you can get them it a Selway quiver...just need to get them oriented right to keep the blades and fletching apart.

 Check out the 2004-2007 highlights forums to see how much I like these heads. All the critters I've killed with the exception of the "left handed story bow buck" were killed with big 'ol Snuffer 160's.

Noise is not a factor as long as they're mounted to spin true. Just like any other bh, tuned right,they fly just like a field pt.

This was my first kill with a big Snuffer. The shot was straight down out of a treestand. It left a huge hole & bloodtrail. The deer did not go 50 yards. Shot with a 54lb longbow. I am sold on `em.

I have used them for a number of years, they will put big holes in any game you hit!
