Another Broadhead Topic and How many bows do you have.
« on: August 07, 2008, 12:45:00 PM »
I know there are a bunch of these already but lets hear it again.

I am looking to get new broadheads this season and time is ticking and I can not make up my mind.

I am sharpening impared and will not settle when resharpening for anything less than shaving sharp.

I used magnus stingers 125 grain last year but now i want something between 145 and 160 2 blades.

And a side question.  My wife thinks I have too many bows.  I have 4 recurves.  Lets hear how many you guys have.

My wife once told me "all your guns look alike" that was the wrong thing to tell this guy.  

On the other hand she can tell my bows apart no problem...darn her.

I have the two listed below and another Kill-um on order.

As far as a broadhead I'm with SouthMDShooter and the WW looks good.  I've been told with a few good files you can sharpen them easily.  I have some 150 gr Snuffers that I used this spring on turkeys and they sharpened great with files.  I'm looking at WW this fall and I just found some 150 grain two blade Thunderheads on E**y this spring so I'm going to hunt with them this fall also.  I used the Thunderheads in the late 80’s early 90’s and shot my largest buck so I’m excited to find 2 new boxes and 3 packs of blade.  It’s going to be like old times.

Good luck…I have found out a few things in the 12 years I’ve known my wife…an envelope of cash goes a long ways and she doesn’t complain about what shows up.  Might cost me more in the long run but every one is HAPPY!!!

Magnus Stinger 150 grain 2 blade.  Very hot item this year.

I'd not recommend the Grizzly if sharpening gives you fits.  STOS is usually my first, second and third suggestion for the sharpening impaired, along with the Magnus heads.  That would be for heads that still need a little sharpening, the Stinger's good to go.

I love those Wensel Woodsman. I really cant see how a head could be any easier to sharpen either as long as you have a nice wide file, and stone to lay 2 of the 3 blades down onto at once, and stroke away. Ive heard guys say they had trouble sharpening some of the early batches but the 2 batches ive had were a peice of cake to get scary sharp.
   As for bows ive got a great plains bamboo recurve, a homemade glass longbow built with lams and glass from the old master crafter, and a whole pile of selfbows Ive made. Good luck with whatever you choose.

Woodsmans broadhead is the easiest to sharpen.  And I am trying out Zwickey No Mercy Single Bevels, One longbow, pending girlfriend.  Just waiting to see her again.

8 bows...a couple more I want...

I'm pretty partial to Magnus heads, the 150gr Stingers sound like a good idea....

I've got endless broadheads and the regular maganus 2 blades are the easiest to sharpen.

I think about a dozen bows but I don't count very often.

 I like Ace 2 blades.
