Broadhead poll

[Terry Green]

Yeah...I clicked 4 blade since most of my hunting and kills are with them Zs.

I also use WWs on occasion when hog hunting....

Very few kills with 2 blades....but they were wide ones.

I'd like to see an Abowyer Wapiti and Large Bone Buster in a 4 blade.  They sure are tuff heads.

Muzzy Phantom 125's (4 blade with insert) have worked for me the last couple of years.

[STUMP THUMPER]

2 blade eskimos or stingers 125 grain work well for me

[Bowhunter4life]

Tough question, kinda depends on what I'm after...

I've used all of them with success except for the single bevel.

Whatever the head, I like big broadheads.

Zwickey Delta 4-blade
Magnus 1 2-blade
Snuffer 160 / Big Jim "Big-3" / VPA 1 1/4"

Will use smaller 3-blades if penetration is in question... large boars, or if I were heading to Africa.  VPA's, Woodsmans, Razorcap and the like...

If I'm forced to use a lighter head (125), the original Snuffer 125 screw-in, Snuffer SS, Razorcap, or Magnus Stinger 4-blade.  Haven't used a narrow 2-blade (anything less then 1 1/2").

I've always used a 3 blade broadhead, started out using Magnus Snuffers then the G5 Montec, now I'm back to the Snuffer & it's brother the Wenzel Woodsman.

I've had good results lately with 3 blade WW, on whitetail  and 50# bows.  As always keping them shaving sharp and good placement has worked in all heads forme.  Jim

Muzzy Phantoms

[Buckhorn3380]

Can't go wrong with the double bevel 2 blades!!!!

[RPolk]

When Magnus stopped making the Journeyman I bought 3 dozen 160gr heads before they dissapeared.
I've lost a few but still use them for everything but pig and bear hunting, for them I like the 160gr Snuffers.

I sure wish Magnus would bring them back the Journeyman.

I like the idea of using the "same" Zwickey Eskimo 2 blade that Mel Johnson used back in '65 to take what is still the world record typical whitetail.
Isn't it incredible that record still stands after the millions of hunter-hours and dollars that have been expended since then in pursuit of one greater than 204.5 inches?

Biggie...I remember you did an African Test a couple of years ago....using Razorbacks....and ya went SEVEN for SEVEN.

I went to the thread but all the pics have fallen off photo bucket

[Southern Sam]

I like them all, but voted for 3 blade since I've killed more animals with them.

[smoke1953]

I'm from the camp, if it ain't broke don't fix it, Woodsman.

[Horne Shooter]

I have used all mentioned and have settled on the Abowyers.  I like the single bevel for the same reason everyone else likes their choice...in their experiences,  it has worked for them.  I had a bad experience with my first shot animal with a WW years ago and have never used one again.  Could have been a freak deal but confidence is such a HUGE factor when you are releasing an arrow at an animal.  In summary: What I have found is that a sharp broadhead (of most any brand or configuration) put in the right spot beats out anything else put in the wrong spot.

AMEN!  We are of like mind on that.          

I had a very bad experience with an extremely well made super-wide broadhead (a Zephyr Sasquatch) and it resulted in three days of trying to follow a large racked buck's bloodtrail in a hemlock swamp on a canoe-in trip and no recovery.  Bitter.  After that I went to a narrow single-blade broadhead with a tough tip to guarantee as much penetration as possible even though the path is narrower.  I also swore off treestands for 12 years or so.  You HAVE to have 100% confidence in whatever bow you carry and the arrow you launch at a deer.  With the arrows I use now that same shot would be a good kill . . . but there is always the "freak happenstance" we all hope to avoid.

[3arrows]

A sharp one in the right place,gettig too old to drag deer very far.Muzzy Phantom works for me.

[Zbearclaw]

VPA 175 and 200gr 3 blades have done plenty of damage on my arrows.

I like them a lot.  

But honestly, if you have confidence in it and it is sharp enough to cut you if you look at it, it sounds good to me...

[Stixbowdrew]

A razor sharp simmons tree shark.. some may worry about penetration with such a large head, but never seem to have an issue.. plus the blood trails are something stevie wonder could follow

[StanM]

3-blade single bevel  :D  Super sharp and they rotate on impact for devastating effects on bone!
