I've used many different ones. They all work. Right now I'm using Abowyer Brown Bears. I'm really liking them.

The Magnus I 150 grain... fine as a two blade, but you can add a bleeder blade later when you get tired of sucky blood trails.

(that should get things rollin...   :D   )

Too Funny Charlie!!!

Like Charlie....I'm a multiblade man 99.99% of the time....and have no issues with penetration or lack of pass through shots.....

But, it I had to choose one two blade...it would be the Abowyer Large BoneHead.  Wide cut swath....and built like a tank...other favorite would be the Zephyr Sasquatch by Hornes Archery....a hatchet for a whitetail.

I've shot a lot of heads too, had great luck with most of them, trying to find the perfect head, from 2 blades, 3 blades, and inserts...I am sticking with my STOS 2 blade, 145 grain.  Excellent flight, unmatched penetration, and I can shave with them when I am done sharpening them. My two cents...

One more reason I use the Helix; I am sharpening impaired, the head comes apart. Lay it flat on a stone and with your finger or in my case with a homemade tool touch it up and put it back together?

The head from the concrete wall is still in service.

My favorite 2 blades are Tuskers, but I've used a bunch without complaint.

I think with any broadhead choice one needs to consider how much power they are dealing with.  Penetration on a less than perfect hit should be considered as well.  The hole that I got with my heavy longbows and stuffed Microflite 12s pushing a full sized Deadhead worked, but the same large Deadhead would not be a practical choice with a light weight bow.  I usually direct newbys towards the Zwickee Eskimo because it works and most people can get them sharp, and they penetrate with lighter weight equipment.

125 grain Magnus Stinger(4 blade) did a great job last year, but I am hoping to try Centuar Big Game Head l/h bevel this year.(on 29" Beman MFX Classic 400's).

I am using Zephyr Sasquatch on my LB at 51# on the end of AD Nitro stinger yellow shafts with the large alu. insert.  They cut a swath through a deer.

Shooting Zephyr Scirocco on my 45# recurve, with cut down steel insert. Have same results with these as above just that the "swath" is not as big.

I like two edge heads.  I am an old guy. Not to caught up in this single bevel stuff... yet.

I'm with coaster 500 on this one. The last 2 does I shot this year were with a Helix and the blood trails are unlike any other 2 blade I have used, massive and short. The results are just as good as with the WW"s I have been using for years.
