How many of you believe in the good old fashioned tradition of using the Zwickey Delta 2 blades????

A Delta 4 killed my first deer and I consider both the 2 and 4 to be about the best broadhead made. I have come to much prefer heavier heads (even before all the FOC stuff) so had drifted away from the Zwickeys. Now that I can stuff lead up the nose of my arrows, I will have some Deltas back in my quiver again.

I use the black diamond two and four blade, there's a lot of killing in a six pack of those for a good price.

Like the Delta 2 blade myself, have killed a few deer with them. Fly well.

The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.

They fly well, sharpen easy, good penetration and don’t cost an arm and a leg what’s not to like. And remember the sun never sets on a Zwickey.....stabow

Never killed anything with the 2 blade...but kill a ton of stuff with the 4 blade.

I have some. They sharpen up nicely, and fly very well. Unfortunatly the two I shot at deer last year are lost in the woods!

I love 'em... They have taken a few animals for me, as well.
bmfer...At least you had the "opportunity". I haven't had an opportunity at a Whitetail in over 2 years. Hop'in to get on this season, though.

I believe they are the best BH's you can get! You can pay alot more for some others. Z's are easy to sharpen, take a beating and come back flyin straight and easy to tune! I've tried lots of the "New Stuff" I'm back with Z's and have no reason to change!

If they are sharp and you and your setup is tuned with em you'll be having steak!!

I'm pretty much in Fletcher's boat. Been shooting mostly 4- but also two-blade Zwickeys for more than 30 years. Have drifted away recently to heavier heads, but think I'll put a little lead in some and keep shooting them. They fly extremely well, and I've killed a pile of critters with them.

Every single trad bow hunter I know in person hunts with zwickeys and nothing else...mmm...let me rephrase...every single SUCCESSFUL tradbow hunter I know hunts with zwickeys and nothing else
The african game can be a bit "harder" than your deer, so a nice solid 2 blader that can survive a lot of punishment is a must

I used the two blade zwickey and have not complaints. I tried a lot of similiar BH and they're all good but I like to stick with the zwickey cuz they've treated me well, have great reviews, been time tested, and are affordable.

I like them alot. You can get 125gr inserts to use with them and you have a perfect head. My favorite part is the silence. They fly stone cold silent. I have killed many deer in many states with the Delta 4 blade, my favorite.
