2 Blade Broadhead
« on: April 06, 2007, 08:23:00 AM »
I would like to get some 2 blade heads for the up comming turkey season (I would also be using these for deer).  I have some new cedar arrows on the way that they are going to go on.  I have always shot 3 and 4 blade heads.  So what do you guys recommend for a head?  Also how do you tune with a 2 blade?  I have heard some like them vertical when on the string and others like them horizontal.  Dose it depend on the grain of the arrow?  Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Tim

If your arrows are tuned properly to your bow, it makes no difference which way the heads are so you can do what you prefer. I currently use STOS 2 blades myself. A very durable and easy to sharpen broadhead.

Like he said, as long as your bow is tuned orientation is personal preference.  I like mine horizontal so they don't distract me.

What they said!  
I'm a fan of Magnus 125gr (non vented). I like 'em horizontal  ;)

Grizzlies are my choice.

I am testing some new Abowyer heads. As sharp a broadhead as I have ever received out of the box...I cannot improve on the sharpness except to crock stick them- its going to be fun testing them.

I like Zwickey Eskimo, doesn't matter how there mounted just personal preference, i have tried them in different orientations and the fly the same. There plenty tough easy to sharpen and they get the job done at least on deer. I'm going to try them out on turkeys myself this season, i have no doubt they will work.

I shoot Snuffers most of the time, but when I put a 2 blade on, I go with the 150 grain non-vented Simmons Tiger Sharks glue-on.

I line all mine up horizonally, keep it out of my view.

I shoot Eclipse 145 and Grizzly 145. Perfer to line up horizonally, but which ever way they spin true is the way I go.

Simmons Tree Sharks, 190gr are good turkey medicine and for a big head they really fly well.    :thumbsup:

Oh yea, Tree Sharks...That's what I'm talkin about.....Open him up.

I've shot the Tree Sharks and they flew real well for me too, for such a huge BH.

The market's loaded with great 2-blade heads. Personally, I'm partial to Ace heads, but just about any others will work well too.

I prefer horizontal for the same reason as the others - it is less distracting that way.  That is also the thing I really like about 2 blade heads as compared to 3 or 4 blade heads.  A horizontal 2 blade gives the same view of a target as a field point.

Ron - are those glue-on tree sharks 165 grains or 190 grains?
