Woodsman Broadheads?

Ian, go to search and type in "woodsman".  Lots of info both pro and con.  I wonder how many have switched back to 2-blades due to poor penetration and/or "average" bloodtrails?

I have never heard that many complaints about penetration or blood trails with a woodsman broadhead.  My personal experience is that they are way above average on both counts.  The only criticism that you generally hear is in regard to tip curl.  The easy solution is to clip the tip.  However, it is hard for me to complain that the tip has curled when the arrow has just passed through ribs, off-side shoulder, earth, roots, and rock and the deer is laying dead 35 yards away.

My problem with the WW was the build quality.  I received a pack a year or so ago where several had one "thin" blade, the replacements they sent me had gaps in the welds and the replacements they sent for those had blades that where bowed-in so that once you got the sides flat with the file there wasn't much left.  

May have just been a bad batch, but I'm not going to bother with them anymore.

is the snuffer pretty much the same?, just its made by magnus?

Snuffers are stronger, don't fly quite as well and need a bit more bow behind them than a Woodsman IMO.  Of course the Snuffers have quite a bit more cutting diameter over the Woodsmans.  Both are made by Magnus, the Woodsman is a sub-contracted head, like the STOS.

Woodsmans are probably the best penetrating 3 blade out there, but still don't penetrate as well as a 2 blade IMO.
