Congratulations Chris.   :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:
The old order is passing. Swiftly receding into memory are the days of strong, earnest men who followed an atavistic yearning to pit their skills against wild animals.

I like fixed 3-blades when shooting more than 50 pounds. I will shoot only 2-blades when shooting under that. Of course if they aren't scary-sharp, they stay home.  Shot bear razorheads for 30 of my 46 years of bowhunting without the bleeder blades without complaint.  Now I use better made (sorry my fellow Bear fans) broadheads.

Stingers (2&4 blade), snuffers, Magnus II, Eskimos,Razorheads, Wasp, Thunderheads....They have all worked fine. SHARP is the key. The stingers are my favorite(fly just a wee bit better for me than the Mag II, snuffers or Eskimos; and are tough as nails). Mag II's, snuffers, Eskimos are still in my quiver and are more than capable of taking down anything in this hemisphere. The wasp and thunderheads are gone...one kill wonders (durability sucked). The razorheads work great and you couldnt ask for more history attached to a head...but I have had a few points curly (admittedly on shots that could have been better - either on my end or on less nervous animals) that hit the shoulder.

Chris, congratulations on a good job done both with the hogs and with the manner of presentation of the thread.

I mostly hunt the four big game animals we have in Eastern Canada (although I do go west too, but mostly just to hunt those same guys again-go figure??)

Anyhow, I like using a two blade for moose, a three or four blade for bears, and any of the above for caribou and deer.I would have to write an article to explain why but many of you already have an idea.
May your next adventure lighten your heart, test your spirit, and nourish your soul.

Bought a pack of 2-blade Stingers yesterday based upon posts on this sight.  I like that they look like Bear Razorheads but with a stronger point and the ferrel looks stronger. The real test will be (after I weigh em for consistency)how well I can put a razor edge on them. I wouldn't want to buy replacement blades. Looks like they should sharpen on crock sticks quite nicely.  I'm expecting a new, single bevel in the mail from a friend who is going to market it.  Never used a single bevel .... very curious.
