Which bh you going to use .....
« on: May 08, 2010, 06:56:00 PM »
With all the new (and old) broadheads out there, I was wondering what broadheads will you be using this hunting season?  I'm not trying to start a 2 blade vs 3 blade or a single bevel vs double bevel argument; I was just curious to see what folks are planning to use and their reason for changing.
  I guess I need to start it off.  Last year I used the Zwickey 4-blade Eskimo.  This year I'm planning to use the Magnus I 4-blade broadhead.  Reasons for change:
#1- I can get the Magnus sharper (plus its easier to sharpen with a file in the field if I need to.)
#2- More versitile  (I can use it as a 2 blade or I can use the larger Magnus I  bleeder blades for a wider cut or I can use the smaller bleeder blades that Eclipse uses for a smaller cut like the 4-blade Eskimos.  Heck, I can even use Bear bleeder blades if I want to.  They don't fit as tight but a little glue will fix that.)
#3-Lifetime guarantee-  Miss your target and bend one or break one; drop it in the mail and ya' get a new one.  In my book, thats hard to beat!
They exchanged the truth of GOD for a lie,and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator-who is forever praised.Amen Romans 1:25 NIV

I have been using the Woodsman 150's but after shooting the new VPA Terminator 175 non vented I am tuning my arrows to handle these.They look to be a real strong head. My only problem is the sharpening,hope KME can set me up at Denton.

Same as always; either Woodsman, Magnus 1 (2 or 4 bld), Zwickey Delta (2 or 4 blade), Snuffer, Deadhead or Ace Super Express. Basically any combination of whichever 4 I grab on the day!  :D

I usually Zwickey Eskimo 4 blade but this year I will be using some 200gr Tuskers that I won on Tradgange because I feel it will be paying my respect to all of you all and the sponsor that gave them away. So they will be on the end of my arrows till some backstrap is on the table.   :pray:

Ace Standard 2-blade. Same as last year. Tough as nails, easy to sharpen, great ratio.

They've got the mojo for me. I need as much as I can get.

Simmons Interceptor 190gr. I have been more than pleased with the big results. Little tricky to sharpen but fly like darts and damage like a bush ax!

Ace ,Zwickey ,Mangnus or Bear razorheads. Depends on what bow I grab and the arrows for that set up!

Well I ordered STEEL FORCE TRADITIONAL HEAD 145GR. BROADHEADS from Lancaster, but they send me STEEL FORCE PHAT HEAD Series.  Not exactly the same so I might send them back.

200 gr. vpa terminator. Sharpens very easily and it appears to be tough. 200 gr. Snuffers (125 gr. glue on with 75 gr. adapter) will be waiting in the wings.

Grizzly 200 and Abowyer Large Bonehead 210 with 270 gr. adapters.
Wouldn't mind trying to bust some chops with the VPA 250 if I can get a good deal on them.

I have quite a few ABowyer Brown Bears-haven't killed anything with them yet, and hope to change that in a few months.
