Which broadheads will you be using this season?

[ncsaknech1ydh]

I'm always looking for a better broadhead, for me that consists of toughness, consistant flight and a head that is fairly easy to sharpen and keeps its edge. I always seem to come back to the old bear razorhead 145 grain with the slip in bleeder blades. Only problem is they are always getting harder to find, lucky for me I have a pretty good stockpile! They fly like a dart, I've been shooting the same few heads for years during practice, unless I hit a cement block head on they last forever! and they hold a super sharp edge and are not that hard to sharpen. A tough broadhead to beat in my opinion.

Which broadhead will you be using this hunting season and why? DK.

one knapped by my own hands, i have shot the best gear people could get thier hands on, I'm doing this for the challenge and the satisfaction of taking game  with equipment that I made =]

Still sticking with my MA-IIs. They are 125 grains with a 25 grain screw-in adapter. They fly good and get really sharp with the KME sharpener.

I have them on 32" GT carbons with three, five inch shield cut feathers.

I'll be using a new broadhead by Tim Strickland called the "Helix".  It is a single bevel head sharpened at the back also.  I only received the broadhead last week but it shoots with my field tips. It seems very tough, it is very sharp. The blade can be removed (screw) to allow for easy stone sharpening. I'm going to try sharpening it the way I used to sharpen my Bear razorheads using vertical crock sticks. I'll be using a 100 grain Helix with 70 grain inserts on a Beeman MFX Classic 600 out of a 46# PSAIII.

This is the website for the head. It also has a nice traditional clip of the broadhead being shot out of a traditional bow by Tim.

I forgot to write "why".

I used a Pearson Deadhead in 1969 with terrific results. Then I went to Bear Razorheads from 1970 through about 1998 or so. I used the Bear without bleeders.  They were very easy to put a razor edge on and they were tough enough. I stopped using them in the late 90's for two reasons: 1. They were difficult to find. 2). I didn't think the quality (head to head) was as good as I wanted. I've been using G5's a lot over the past few years and have killed deer with B-52, Montec, and even the Tekan. I killed one deer with a 2-blade Rage. I used G5 Strikers last year and recommend them highly to anyone who has trouble reproducing a razor-edge on more traditional broadheads.  

Since I'm getting serious with traditional again I wanted a more "traditional" style broadhead. Because I'm shooting only 46 pounds I wanted a 2-blade. The inventor of the Helix is a friend and I trust his archery advice/choices very strongly.  He used the head in Africa earlier this year with 52# traditional equipment with terrific success. I really like the shape and strength of the Helix's point.

Gonna stick with 4 blade Stingers again for deer this season...though I do have some Snuffers and Woodsmans I've been meaning to try.

[centaur]

Magnus 2 blades or Zwickeys stuck on 125 grain woodyweights. Makes for about 620 grain arrows pushed by a 56# longbow. It works.

[Night Wing]

Since I've got two recurve bows, I'm going to be using a 165 grain Ace Express and a 145 grain STOS. Both are two blade glue on broadheads.

[Bill Carlsen]

200 grain Razorcaps. In my wife's arrows probably 100 grain 4blade Phantoms with 100 grain brass inserts.

[longarrow]

"Z's"!!!!

[Dustin Waters]

Snuffer 160's no doubt about it.

[Whip]

I've been using Wensel Woodsman's with excellent results for years. They fly great, I've learned to sharpen them, and have resulted in a number of recoveries on marginal hits that have sold me on the most important job a broadhead can do. I see no reason to try anything else. I front load them on my carbons to 270 grains.  

Fly great
Easy to sharpen
Good penetration
Good blood trails
Dead animals

What more should a broadhead do?
