Forget spending hours sharpening stubborn heads, get some STOS you will love them! A little touch up out of the package and you are ready to go.

I use 125 grain Magnus II broadheads with my woodies. For my aluminum arrows I use 150 grain Magnus Stingers.

Your going to get every Cut-on-contact BH listed..
Muzzys, grizzies, Magnus and the list goes on. You also have 2, 3 and 4 blades to pick from. Lets not forget trade points or even Knapped points ( glass, stone ) or Bone. Some States You can only use Metal points.

Read some of the threads and see what everyone is using and that may help you pick which type/style/weight BH You want to try. You can also try and trade other for BH's...

I agree with every body!!, I think that I've tried almost all of them it seems.  I don't think that I've had a problem with any of them.  For a replaceable head, I like the stingers and the phantoms, but I've only have experience with the older phantoms, that were 145grns(I think).  right now, I've settled on the woodsmen and the magnus II's for good flight and ease of sharpening.

Oh, I've never tried STOS, but my buddy has, and they too are strong, easy to sharpen and fly well out of his set up.

Truth be told if you have good arrow flight and a bow that's at least 45# at your draw weight, pretty much any 2-4 blade fixed blade COC or modern replacable blade will do the job just fine on deer.

When it comes to Trad & deer sized game using fixed blade broadheads is probably as much or more about tradition & romance than anything else.  Fred Eichler bumped off the Trad Slam and if I recall correctly, did in most (if not all) of the species with Muzzy Phantoms.

NDTerminator is right about the romance and tradition.  Seeing the broadhead is half of the fun.  No romance in a mechanical.

Magnus Snuffers are a great performing broadhead and a good value.  Easy to re-sharpen and not a big downer when you damage/destroy one due to their cost. Typically six pack for less than $30.

Amen, bro.  There's something about seeing that two blade Magnus or 3 blade Snuffer that I sharpened & stropped with my own  fiendish hands up front at full draw...   :D

And what brings to mind deer season any better than clicking a bleeder blade into place on a Bear "greenie" Razorhead?

I've been kicking around ideas as to which broadhead for a long time and recently decided to use nothing but magnus heads due to their unconditional waranty.Any head damaged can be replaced no questions asked,just send them the old head.

A warranty on a broadhead.  What will they think of next?  I guess its not like those old knife warranties for loss too?  That would be too good to be true.

I am very impressed with the woodsmans and do prefer to tanto the point to a pretty good chisel instead of the needle point.Theyll all do a good job for you if you double lung them and take good shots.Really breaks my heart to see alott of modern guys shooting such teenie lite broadheads and shooting animals so far away.Oh well,itits industry driven .Oh yea,You cant beat a good old zwickey,any model.Kind of a pain to sharpen,but penetrating killing motorscooters.Chanumpa

I would go with Montecs, they are solid steel and I personally think they are better than Snuffers.
