Broadhead Recommendations.

[BuckyT]

Granted, I'm a newby in the trad game, but you've got to learn somewhere right?

I guess I can say the main reason I got my recurve recently is to hunt with it.  I'm a hunter point blank.  I eat, sleep, and breath hunting.

I'm in training for the upcoming deer season in my home state which opens in September.

Field tips aren't going to cut it, no pun intended!  Lol!  I would like to get a good two blade broadhead in the 175gr grain range in the future to shoot out of my setup.

Any advice or first hand reviews of some good quality 2 blade broadheads would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

180 grain Silver Flames or the yet to be released Eclipse Werewolf. Ace makes some biguns too.

[JamesKerr]

Its not a 2 blade but the woodsman elite in the 175 grain version leaves a big hole

Do want a 175 total weight to match a field point?  Remember that the long insert adds about 40 grains if you use glue ons.

If you install a 50 grain brass insert, then you can have a larger choice of heads.  There are numerous 125 grain heads on the amrket.  You may want to look at the Magnus brands, Stinger or buzzcut.  Simmons landsharks are good too.

[Mojostick]

While not a 2 blade, Steelforce has a 4 blade that is a 2 blade with small bleeder blades, somewhat like a Bear or Stinger.

You can get them here or directly from Steelforce...

Nick from Steelforce can make you something up too.

Abowyer 175 grains

[Shedrock]

What if Bucky is shooting wood arrows? He can't add those heavy inserts for weight.

STOS makes a 160 grain 2 blade. GREAT head for the money. You can jam some lead shot inside the ferrule to bring it up to 175.

Abowyer,A very good head...A+

I have taken alot of big with Zwickeys, i now use the Magnus.There are very few diffrnce between the two.Both are great.They do need to be sharp'n by hand, i dont mind.Im not a factory blade sharp guy.You can weight them up to 175 with no problem.

[David Mitchell]

Good ol' Zwickey on a 100 grain steel adapter puts you right there at an affordable cost.  No need to pay $30 per head.

[Canadabowyer]

Ace Standard or if you want a big head the Ace Super Express.  www.acearcherytackel.com.  I like em, they work. Bob

The STOS 160s fly really good for me.  Easy to sharpen too.

[Spectre]

Big head? Simmons. I like them a lot, but, I been shooting Zwickey Eskimos for a long time.

If you want some accurate advice,it would be important to know if you need a 175 gr glue on broadhead or if you need a 175 gr including threads or adapter that you would screw into an insert.There is a big difference.There are a ton of choices and quite a few sponsors that can hook you up.

[Ken Taylor]

Not a lot of information to go on, but the guys named some good ones.

I also think that if it's for whitetails, slim or wide profile is not as important an issue than if you were going for moose, (which the two blade broadhead choice could also depend on the poundage of your bow, your draw length, the weight of the arrow, and even the performance of your bow)... if that makes any sense.

[BradLantz]

I went to a SteelForce single bevel 2 blade, 225gr weight and love the way it performed

[Shawn Leonard]

I would shoot a big old Snuffer 160 grainer!! They make a big hole and are easy to sharpen! Shawn

[Mojo Rising]

I like Abowyer. The head doesn't matter if you make sure it is crazy sharp with good shot placement.
