Favorite Broadheads...
« on: July 22, 2009, 11:17:00 PM »
What are your favorite broadheads?

Here are mine: 2-blades

 
 

In the middle, Silver Flame 185 grain DS model, on the left/bottom, Magnus 1, 135 grain weighted to 260, and the Pearson Deadhead (1950's vintage), 135 grain weighted to 260 grains.  Not pictured the Silver Flame 180 grain XL.

And the 3-blades:

 
 

From left to right, Magnus Snuffer 160 weighted to 200 grains, Woodsman 125 weighted to 200 grains, High Precision (1950's vintage) 200 grains total weight, 300 Extreem, 300 grians, and the Snuffer SS at 125 grains.  Not pictured, but also use the original Magnus Snuffer 100 grian weighted to 125 grains and the 125 grain Snuffer weighted to 200 grains, and the Razorcap at both 125 grains and 200 grains.

Being of sound mind and body, and a wallet that likes to resist opening too often, I find that the one I started with is just as good today as ever.  Bear Razorheads.  1964's.

If I had to choose one favorite.....Its the one I've been shooting most since the mid 80's.

Zwickey Delta 4 blade by far.  Its downed more game also in less yards than any other also by far.

Ooooooh tough one.

I'm in a 4-way tie between Magnus 1, 2 & 4 blade, Woodsmen & Delta 4 blade.

I don't really look at what I'm pulling out of the box anymore. It'll be one of those 4, and any will do! I often carry one of each in my quiver.

My absolute favorites are the Ashby 315 grain single bevel two blade and the 300 Xtreem three blade. They ought to be good for as much as they cost!    :eek:   The single bevel Abowyer and Grizzly broadheads and the double bevel Silver Flames are darn close. I would hunt anything with any of those broadheads.

Like Terry, I like less expensive broadheads too because they work well in most situations and don't deplete your bank account. There are too many of those for me to try to list, although the Zwickey Deltas are certainly there, along with many more. The Bear Razorheads were some I used to shoot years ago, but after a couple of failures on admittedly poor shots where bone was contacted, I stopped using them and could not ever bring myself to go back. I would not hesitate to use any of Jeff's or Andy's favorites or the Zwickey Deltas on anything except extremely large or very dangerous game, and some of Jeff's would work well on those animals too.

My favourite is the STOS 160 grain two blade broadhead. I like its excellent length to width ratio and its very strong construction.   :)

I have tried alot of different ones.  For me, the howard hill head is excellent.  also, love the grizzly, zwickey, Magnus 2 and the original bear razorhead.  As long as a broadhead spins true and is mounted true, and razor sharp and put in the boiler room.  It will do the job.

I have come to really like the Razorcaps....200 grains. Everything I have killed with them has gone down in sight. I also like the 220 grain Phantom. However, going thru some old heads I found a dozen of the old Pearson Switchblades and if they shoot well from my set up I am thinking of using them on this Fall's bear hunt.  Bears, in general, seem to go down quickly if shot placement is good. When I found the old heads I just couldn't resist using them so for bear, at least, that is the plan. Moose and deer will see Razorcaps coming at them.

I've treid a lot of different 2-blade heads, but none I like as much as Ace Standards.

Back when I shot 4-blade heads, I had excellent results with Zwickeys: both Eskimos and Deltas.
