single broad head used for the longest time
« on: February 20, 2009, 09:13:00 PM »
man i lose or bust arrows pretty quickly.  I lose, misplace, or bash BH even quicker.  I have heard of guys having a single BH and taking several game animals.

what is the longest time ya shot one single BH and how many trophies have ya brought one with it?

Rusty, I don't keep track. I know that I killed two turkey's with the same Deadhead on the same day. I've put various Ribtecs, Zwickeys and Eclipses back onto a shaft(it seems like most of my hits have led to a busted arrow) and stuck them in my quiver............. but which ones killed which animals or got lost just hasn't been kept track of. I did shoot a single Javelina  twice with the same Snuffer 2 blade once (actually 3 times cause the tip rolled on the first shot and it bounced off the second -beat the tip back straight with a rock for the finisher 'cause I was out of arrows!)

The most I know of is two.  We hit the "feast" on a caribou hunt and I killed two with the same arrow, a Kerry Gesink compressed ramin and a Ribtec 160.

I killed a small buck, two javalina, a turkey, and two hogs with the same broadhead. The last hog tweeked a blade a little so I retired it. Woodsman!

I killed 3 deer and a turkey with the same Zwickey delta broadhead.  They do get a little thin after a bunch of resharpening.

I have an arrow in my bow rack that I used to take four out of my six deer in 2001. I also had an Ace Standard that I killed five deer with until I lost it. I have two other Standards that now have two and three deer each to their credit.

Killed three deer with the same Woodsman head on a Trad Lite shaft this Fall.  Third one was from a ladder stand and went down near the spine and out the bottom of the chest.  His "death flight" made it about 150 yards, but somewhere in that run he snapped off the arrow tip, and the "magic" head was gone.  Looked a long time, because I suspected it had stuck in the ground at the shot and snapped, but a litle bit of black shaft doesn't show up very well in the woods...

Oh, well, the next one worked JUST as well!!  It was fun to have the repeat performances, though...

I have one in the quiver now that has 3 deer and one with 4.  They have stripes on the shafts so I can keep track.   ;)   I broke the 4 kill shaft this year, but it is on a new shaft and starting over.  Last year I lost one with 6 already on it after a pass through in tall grass.  I was sorry to loose that one.  I have one retired with 5 or 6.  It got a cracked shaft so I retired the whole thing with the last rack it took.  I shoot carbons of course.  Before that with aluminum or wood it would be one for the arrow anyway.

Maybe RC will chime in.  I think he told me he had killed something like 13 critters with one Wensel Woodsman.  Straighten me out if I'm wrong Robert.

Interestign idea, I've alway retired the arrow after the kill.  I think with the new high dollar arrows and BHs, I'll be recycling.  LOL

I had an ACE broadhead that I killed 2 hogs and a deer with, plus missed a coyote. I sent it to Dustin and he may try to add a few to it.
 Right now I'm using a set of Snuffers that have been through the ringer. A couple of the blades are bent, but they still fly straight.

I took a buck and 2 does with a Magnus, 125, 2 blade, on the 3rd deer it was rib to rib, exited over the edge of a bluff and heard it ricochet off 3 or 4 trees down through the holler. A guy cutting timber in there 2 years later found a broadhead with about12 inches of shaft 20 ft up in a tree he had dropped, was wondering what they were shooting at up that high. I never got to look at it, but wondered if it was mine. Thought it was funny.

Kroger that is an insteresting story.  

One time I had a doe duck pretty badly and I shot a little high also.  I saw her run of with the arrow.  I shot her three yrs later out of the same stand.  I know it was her casue my BH was still in her.  had been encapsulated and was a lump right above her shoulder.  she was the biggest doe I ever shot.
