I'm making no recommendations on broadhead choice, just letting everyone know what my experinces were on my trip. I shot both 3 blade heads (snuffers & woodsmen) as well as 2 blade heads (Magnus and Zwickey) I saw no difference in performance, Pass thru on Gemsbok with 3 blade,Tommy passed thru Zebra with 2 blade. Unfortunately on our trip,3 animals were hit in the scapula, 2 with 2 blade and 1 with 3 blade, NONE were able to get adequate penetration to leave more than a flesh wound. My take from the experience is that placement far outweighs broadhead type. Just my experience, not looking to cause controversy.

We were shooting 58# recurves and longbows with 700-750grain arrow set up.

Best to All

Wayne,
How far away were the animals that got hit in the scapula?

P.S. Placement trumps everything! Make sure and practice out of a blind or dark environment. It makes a difference.

Idahoeyes,
I would say 15yds give or take a few yards on 2 of them and 18-20 on the other.

Hey Biggie, Sounds like you had a great hunt. I'm calling you today. We done good too. Three trad bowhunters 100% recoveries. It's much nicer with those results.

I've always used two blades in Africa untill this year. I tried the Wensel Woodsmans and experienced good results on the two animals I shot. Eland bull total pass thru. Zebra stallion angling away buried to crest in far shoulder.
Watched eland go down. Would have seen zebra, but brush blocked the view.

The other guys I hunted with used two blades with great success also. Grizzlys and STOS.

Denny, How much poundage-arrowweight did you use for that ?

Dsturgisjr · « **Reply #29 on:** July 30, 2004, 06:12:00 PM »

Hey Jacob,I used a 76# PLX and CX heritage shafts weighing 700 grains.

WOW Biggie,
Awesome!!!!! What was your exact set-up in terms of bow draw length and weight, arrow type and weight, broadhead type and weight.
Thanks and congratulations!
Steve

Biggie-where's the pork? I couldnt believe you didnt bring any hogs home! I figured you'd of traded one of them oryx for a good wartie!

Nice critters, though, congrats!

I watched one of our goup take 10 straight animals with a recurve, carbons, and WW heads with few distances to recovery long enough to even talk about. Placement is the issue, plain and simple.

Biggie Hoffman · « **Reply #38 on:** October 07, 2004, 02:10:00 PM »

Cool! Who was it?

scruff · « **Reply #39 on:** October 26, 2004, 07:42:00 PM »

Biggie,
I never have seen the razorcap broadhead used. I have shot the 2 bladed zwickeys and magnus for many years with great results. I tried the WW this year and killed a good 4x4 whitetail with them. Good broadhead. Can you compare the benefits/disadvantages of the WW vs. a razorcap?
Looks like you had a great trip.
Cheers,
DK
