What kind of broadhead do you use for hunting deer?

It's what broadhead do YOU use Tom, not which is best...

I've used 3-blades for years, Woodsman, Snuffer, Razorcap, and G5 Montec.  This year I'm using 4-blades, Zwickey Delta, or Magnus Stinger.

From a stand I use my own 3 blade BH that I made from bar stock.
1.25 cuttig dia .05thk blades with .06Rad on each side where it meets the center out of 440 SS screw in.They came out @ 249.7grs    :D  

From the ground what ever at the moment currently I've been using the Magnus 2 1.5" wide head I can get them face shaving sharp

Sorry I should figured that but the best BH out there isn't worth a hoot if it ain't sharp...way to many good heads to say which one...besides my own ofcourse    :biglaugh:

Swampbuck, that sounds like a pretty interesting head.  Any chance you could post a picture?  Please!

I've used Bear Razorhead's and Pearson Deadheads and Zwickey Eskimo's for years.  Last year I bought Snuffers but didn't get a deer using them.  I'll try again this year.

I use 3-blade snuffers for everything. But I'm using the 2-blade Eclipse for my elk hunt. To many elk hunters recommended a 2-blade for elk on this page.

I've had great results from the Ace Express 165.  Been shooting them for 3 or 4 years now.  Good weight, width and length and an easily sharpened straight edge.  Very durable head that gets sharp and stays sharp.

Zwickey Eskimo 2 blade. They are all I use, because they just work too well.
