3 bladed
« on: January 20, 2009, 12:38:00 AM »
looking to try some 3 blades in the upcoming season.  pros & cons of ones that you've tried.  ease of sharpening and durability come to mind as prerequisites for me.  Elk , deer and pigs are the animals I hope to chase next season.  quiet would be nice also.

p.s.  anyone ever thought of a single bevel 3 blade.  I would think that thing would spin at a very high rpf

I've taken elk with both heads, I prefer the SnufferSS in 125 grain, it sharpens easily. I take each head & black out all 6 edges then file until all sides are shining from head to toe. I then finish it off with an medium & fine Arkansas stone, yes they are shaving sharp. The stone is much better than the diamond DMTs to put an awesome finishing edge on.
  I would recommend this head to any interested in a 3-bladed head, it is my goto head out of a 57# longbow.

How the heck, can you hit in front of the shoulder and be 3 ribs back?

 


Anyway, I really luv 160 Snuffers, and the only times I don't use them is in critters that might be a little harder to penetrate...like the shield of a big boar hog...

...enter my other favorite....Wensel Woodsman

Based on what you said you were going to hunt....and IF you had to have one head for all 3...I'd say the Wensel Woodsman or the 300 extreme would be best based souly on there design and attack angle.

If you wanted a separate 3 blade for deer....then the snuffers would be great less you are shooting a ligh weight bow and light arrows.

My hunting rig for next season will be in the mid 60# range.  

Has anyone other than Doc Ashby seen a WW fail?  Even if I trim the tip back and make a tanto (chisel) styled tip I would have to think its a pretty tough head.

Yep...what Terry said   :thumbsup:  I have used all the mentioned above except Razorcaps and all are great heads.

Glad I do not have to choose just one head to carry   :goldtooth:

No, I've never seen one "fail"...and I've hunted and killed a lot of stuff with them...

Work the tip a little and you have as good a bh   as you'll ever need...IMHO     :thumbsup:

Terry what would you consider a light weight bow??
I'm considering the WW in the 160 grain attached to a 29" bop Fir shaft out of a 47# @ 27" recurve. Not sure of total arrow weight but figure it should be close to 500 grains( If my math is right?? )In your opinion is this too light of a set up for a 3 blade head??

Daren, Not sure about "the WW in the 160gr", you must have meant Snuffer. If so, IMO,  that's pretty borderline for a 160 Snuffer.But fine for a WW...
What are you hunting?

I like the Razorcaps and Snuffers. For me, the Razorcaps are not as sharp as the name implies, but come around quickly to shaving sharp, the Snuffers make a big hole, but they equire MUCH more work. I still can't make a Snuffer shave hair.

Daren, I`m not the expert these other fellas are but I believe another 100 grains in arrow weight would get you over the borderline Guru spoke of.RC

Fail? No. But I do have a few in the basement that were no longer usable after they killed a whitetail. If I were to use a 3-blade head again, it'd be a Razorcap or one of Bob's 300 Xtremes if I required that much weight up front.
