Broadhead design

[lpcjon2]

If you could design the perfect broadhead what would it's characteristics be.  

[Stumpkiller]

Single blade (two edges), no moving parts, as low of drag as possible from ferrule to blade joint (no exposed spot welds, crimps, etc.).  Glue-on, double bevel ('cause I don't know how to sharpen a single bevel on a broadhead).

Rockwell of 50 or 51 so it can be file sharpened.  Cost no more than $4 each so I'm not afraid to lose a few stump shooting or small game hunting.

Think I just described a Stos or a Magnus.

For me it would be a 160 snuffer but with thicker (.060) blades for 3 blades or a double bevel abowyer whitetail.

[KyleAllen]

it would be manufactured with g5's patented process that allows for now seams whatsoever.

2 blade
25 degree single bevel
tanto tip
screw in
Vented

It would have the characteristics of the BH named 'Confidence'.

[Kenneth]

I have 3

3 blade would be exactly like the VPA 1 1/4" head

2 blade double bevel would be similar to the Magnus I except it would have a 1 3/4" to 2" cut.

2 blade single bevel would be just like the Abowyer Large Bonehead except half the price.

[bornagainbowhunter]

It would look exactly like a zwicky delta 4 blade only a bit heavier, maybe 175gr.

[Bill Carlsen]

How about a STOS with a bleeder blade?

[YORNOC]

It would explode upon impact taking out anything within 25 yards.

[Michael Arnette]

Zwickey Broadheads- with a Teflon(TM.) coat. Or a Stos with bleeders.- oh yeah and some good screw-in inserts to go with them in a few different weights.

[Friend]

A 300 grain, 1.5" dia 3 blade in conjunction w/31%+ Ultra-EFOC at ~610 grains will suffice for me.

[Thumper Dunker]

Hair seeking, self sharpening.

[Benjamin199]

2 blade single bevel similar in profile to the Abowyer Brown Bear weighing about 200 gr made out of S30V stainless, all for a reasonable cost.

That would be good too!!!

I like Bill's idea above. 160 grn STOS with removeable bleeder blade. Awesome combo. Easy to sharpen, with a great cut.

[wihill]

I'd kind of like to see a VPA style head with the sharks tooth style blades (like the Centaur / Simmon's heads).  

Like a Shuttle T-Lock on steriods.

[Jack Skinner]

For me a tradepoint version of the grizzly el grade. The new grizzly el grade a close second. The griz just needs to be touch up ready out of the package for the sharpening challanged to be as good as it gets.
