Here are a couple WW kills.  The story on the bull is coming up in the next (I think) issue of TBM.

You and me both David, I think I'd even be happy with a legal 1/2 curl.  It will be a WW on my arrow.

Shedrock-
Don't think that I've seen the two arrow quiver setup for a Woodsman before, do you have a link on where you got it?

Thanks
David

The photos herein speak for themselves as to the veracity of the Wensel Woodsman. I can offer only this little " ditty"  to explain my thoughts on the WW. I had a particularly bothersome groundhog in my neighbourhood who had taken up residence beneath my woodshed, and thus, awaited his appearance one morning as he stuck his head out beneath his access point. Behind him was a concrete block positioned there to block off part of the access. With only his head showing, I fired a cedar arrow armed ewith a WW original, using a 41 pound longbow. You guessed it! "Pesky" pulled his heasd back on the shot and the arrow embedded itself in the concrete block about 1/2". Retrieval of the arrow caused the needle-like point to break off. That arrow is now a stump shooter, much shorter than original. Needless to say, even though I am a two-blade shooter for everything except turkey season, I was some impressed with the WW.

I have taken hogs, deer, and racoon with the woodsman both the original and the elite.  I have to say that my preference is the elite.  It is tough as nails!  You can bend them, but you have to hit something really, really hard.  The first pig that I shot the elite went about 60 yrds and had a great BT.  The doe I shot last year only went about 70 yrds and was easy to trail.  They are a great head.

I've ww the last 4 seasons and I am very pleased with them.  Everything that I shot (right) with them died ASAP.  The elk in my Name plate was the first of many.

I like them too.

I don't get crazy with the sharpening either. I stroke them with a good grobet file, firm at first and then barely any pressure.

I don't know about shaving but they go through a deer or pig like a hot knife in butter.

I have never tried the Elite's.
