Woodsman original; Grizzly single bevel; Bear razor heads --- I use brass inserts from 75 gr. up to 125 gr. to adjust FOC and tune -- all work well.

I try to stay around 50@30 plus or minus a couple of pounds. Nothing but 2 blade heads for me. Bear Razorheads, Zwickey Delta's, Zwickey Eskimo's, Zwickey Eskilites, Magnus 125 and 150 Stingers. Killed critters with them all......

Looks like nobody mentioned STOS heads. I have had great results with them. I also like Zwickey Eskimo and Delta heads. All of these sharpen nicely. Shooting bows around 42-45#.

Killed my last deer with a 42# RER recurve and a STOS head. EXCELLENT heads in my opinion. Sharpen well and actually stay sharp. Long and lean they fly great and penetrate even better.

Too bad they quit making em....

Eskimos steel adapter 100 gr insert

For deer I have stuck with what I use with my heavier bows, Woodsmans, VPA's, Snuffers or if a 2 blade a wide one like a Tusker Delta or Shark of some variety.

Sharks are a great compromise between a multi blade and a 2 blade, best of both worlds really.

Zwickey Eskimos, with 100 grain glued on steel adaptor, screwed onto a 75 Grain arrow tube insert. 300 grains up front.
For a Total arrow weight of 553 grains.

I was bitten by the Extreme FOC bug earlier this year and so invested in some heavier heads, both VPA and Valkyrie. Both fly well (VPA 200+ 100g insert/29" GT3555; Valkyrie250 + 50g insert/29" GT 3555). Penetration is unbelievable out of my 41# bow. Valkyrie has the slight edge, but is very "spendy". Arrows finish out at 545g. I think I may be done with 2-bladed heads as these sharpen so well and easily.

I was curious to these broadheads. Do you have any harvest pics with one used?

Here is a buck I took with Big Foot recurve using the Axis arrow and Helix broached.

Sorry, tried to post the picture (the one by my name) but it didn't come through. I thought I took the steps described by Rob but didn't work for me.

Hmmm, unfortunately I cannot open it to see but, that's ok. I put the head in my list of prospects. :-)

Surprising how little love is shown for the eskilites!
They were made for lower # and are zwickey tough.

Actually, that one is on my list of prospects too. But, which do you think, the 2 blade or the 4 blade?

acedoc · « **Reply #55 on:** June 19, 2018, 02:17:47 AM »

Two blade for lower poundage is the general consensus, debate rages about single vs double bevel and profiles.
If thinking about multi blades I would say a sharp woodsman wensel.

Bob Morrison · « **Reply #56 on:** June 19, 2018, 11:04:18 AM »

I've been shooting 300 gr. upfront for at least 15years with 40-46# @ 26". I use a lite weight arrows 5-7 gr. per inch. 2 and 3 blade BH. Complete penetration 90% of the time. Accuracy in shot placement over poundage.

smokin joe · « **Reply #57 on:** June 19, 2018, 01:03:14 PM »

Bob: That's the direction I am headed --lots of up-front weight on a light-mass-weight shaft. It was really showing lots of promise. I'll get back to it once my shoulder heals up completely and I can shoot again. It just might turn out to be a good formula for light draw weight.

I like the glue-in-glue-on brass broadhead adaptors from Ace Archery Tackle. There are a good tool for getting the front weight where it needs to be.

Orion · « **Reply #58 on:** June 19, 2018, 01:47:42 PM »

Don't overlook the Howard Hill head. I also like STOS and Zwickey Deltas. In a three blade head, I use Woodsmans. Killed critters with all of them with sub 50# bows.

doubleo · « **Reply #59 on:** June 19, 2018, 01:51:59 PM »

I don't think anyone mentioned the Wasp Sharpshooter 4 blade head. It's a tough little 150gr. 1" cutting diameter head. I use with my Easton axis trad. shafts 600 spine and 440gr. total weight. I'm shooting a Stalker Coyote about 41# at my draw length. I shot 2 deer the first year with these heads. Great little heads and well made. 3 rivers now has them on there web site!
