OK, so I want a three blade broadhead

[ChuckC]

What are the options for a legitimate trad three blade (cut on impact preferably).  Woodsmans, that new 300, what else ?  Has anybody actually used these ?  How are they
working ?  What kind of system (arrow, weight, fletch assembly etc) are you using it on ?

Snuffers, MA-3, Razorcaps, Montec and more I'm sure.

Personally I like the Woodsmans

The Wensel Woodsman on the end of the axis 400s, along with the 100 grain brass inserts is hard to beat for whitetails.

[ChuckC]

I bought some Woodsmand that disappointed me.  I heard that they had a "difficult spell" a while back.  I couldn't get them sharp, period.  Wore them out trying.   I am not normally sharpening challenged.  Have they corrected this problem ?     How bout the others.

I don't know Chuck.....With all the studies that have been done why would you not just use a heavy single bevel head?

[Guru]

Big Snuffers would be my #1 choice, followed closely by the Wensel Woodsman....

[Wannabe1]

Magnus Snuffers and Wensel Woodsmans.  

[leatherneck]

Snuffers! Although I'm going to try the 300 ex soon. But for now Snuffers!!!

[LITTLEBIGMAN]

check out the steel force venom series.

Magnus also make the Snuffer SS.  It is a smaller version (100 & 125 screw in only), but just as durable.  I've shot 3 animals with the same one and just recently buried it past the blades into an oak tree   :mad:  .  Still spins straight and is sharpened up for it's next victim.

[ChuckC]

I need to look at some of these.  How about ease of sharpening ?  As I said, I just couldn't get those WW's sharp enough.  I usually have no trouble with sharpening things.

John, does anyone make a single bevel three blade yet ?

Chuck I don't so.... I believe that the three blades would "fight" one another which would limit penetration.

[tradtusker]

i would say if you shoot enough arrow weight and draw weight go with the Snuffers, if your setup is a little lighter go with the woodsman both are very good heads

iv had no problem getting both heads very sharp. trick is getting the faces flat on a file first (draw on the edges with a permanent maker to see where you are removing steel, keep doing that until you take all the marker for the edges with swipe along the file, then you know its flat)  
the a few licks on my 8" DMT stone and they are Sharp  

as far as i understand the concept / advantage of single bevel is no good once you got to three blades

[Biggie Hoffman]

John P, all the "studies" on single bevel heads have yet to be time tested.
I've killed hundreds of animals with a 3 blade and none of them knew anything about the blades fighting each other.

Chck, the new owners, # Rivers have corrected the problems we had with the woodsman. If you prefer something that's a little less work, the Razorcaps are hard to beat. They're pretty well sharp out of the package and only take some stropping to finish.

Hi All,

When I began bowhunting, I used the Bear Razorhead just like Fred Bear....I was sixteen and he was on TV taking Kodiak Brown Bear with his bow!!!  Then I bought some 160gr Snuffers from Roger Rothhaar at the West Virginia Bowhunters Rondy, and that's all I used for years, and years.  They're tough as nails, and if you use the nifty sharpening jig from 3-Rivers, not too difficult to put an edge on.

[Big_Al]

My vote is for the Razorcaps.  Stainless steel, and adjustable from 100 to 200 grains with just a ferrule change.  I use a Montec stone on mine and can get them sharper than any other broadhead I have.

[longbowben]

Snuffers 125gr adapter and 100 gr brass insert.350 gr tip.Iwould try the new extreme head but to small of a cut for me.BOB make them bigger.

[Bill Carlsen]

Razorcaps have put down every animal I have killed in 25 yards or less, including a 600# cow moose. I also think the Hellrazor would be good, the Woodsman and snuffers. As for penetration, they all have gone right thru every animal except for the moose when the arrow hit the opposite shoulder.

[overbo]

160 SNUFFER.MO, wouldn't go less than a 145gr snuffer.Had some dureablity issues w/ the lighter Snuffer's.
