Ah, I can't wait to pack out a moose this fall(i can feel my back hurting already). God willing I'll have a chance of a lifetime on my first trad kill.

Mike I love the look on your face in that picture....kind of looks like you are thinking "What have I done? Now the work begins!"  Sure is a great Moose!

Terry, I thought you'd have a bison hide on for camo...lol  

Once again it all comes down to shot placement no matter what you use for a broadhead.

snag-  Yes I never know how I'm going to look in the photos because I'm mostly a solo hunter, and don't realize when the camera will go off. Plus its kind of hard to smile off into the open air with no one there. Ha! In the video I took, I think I said ,"Boy I forgot how big these things are!" I has happy for sure!!
I just like how the WW fly and am very comfortable with them up front. I do use the 100 gr steel adapter though.

The Shiras bull in my avatar fell to a 750 grn laminated birch shaft tipped with a woodsman.  The bow was a 67# longbow I built myself.

Happy hunting,

Where can a guy get some of those arrows?  I'm gonna want 8-10 grains of arrow weight for my 76# pull.

Steve Have you looked into the grizzlystik's from Alaska bowhunting supply, Maby the easton full metal jackets. I really like ash, hickory, and berch for a heavy wood set up.

Steve, Had great luck with the WW in the past year, Eland (1500-1800 lbs. ) kudu, wildebeest, gemsbok, warthog, whitetail, bear and hog. Several shots through the shoulder (eland) and one spine hit. Not one problem! 125gr. woodsman with 125gr. steel
adapter. Flight characteristics are second to none, in my opinion!
A very good choice for moose.
Good Luck,Bill

So far I have no complaints of my WW's.  They fly extremely well and penetrate well.  They even went all the way in some 2x4's surrounding my target with no damage to the broadhead.  

But the WW's are loud, you can actually hear it going through the air which is real cool.

I bought a dozen WW's a month ago and i plan on using them this year.

I've used Snuffers for years with good success i don't see why the WW's would be any differant.

That's a matter of personal choice, I LIKE the needle tip. By the time it curls, it's too late!

No I wasn't aiming for the 2x4   :banghead:   , I'm still getting my form down.  And I'm left eye dominant cause of eye surgery on my right eye.

What pray-tell is pyramid the tip?  I'll take a look at the site.

i shot three deer with the ww last year and recovered two. both deer died within sight. it is a fast killer. none of the arrows passed through and yes they were sharp. went to the zwickey eskimo this year. see how they do. stick that moose in the ribs- he will die. best meat i've ever eaten by the way. far as the pyramid thing- take a wire cutter and snip the tip of the head off. both of mine curled on those deer i shot.

Yeah, I grew up on the stuff.  

I got two 3-pack's of Zwickey No Mercy's coming in also to try, didn't come in today maybe tomorrow.  

Was practicing with the WW's today, all I needed to do was give more heel on my bowhand and I was shooting like a pro.
