Only problem is there is a lot of blood clean up to be done before you can take good pictures.

Listen to Jim, he speaks the truth. Don't skimp on broadheads.

Grizzly in weights from 150-200 are still about 25-26 bucks for six heads

I've got tons that are 8-10 years old

Ray's telling the truth,, I seen multiple bags of 10 at his camp,, I thought to myself "does this guy know something I don't"  anyway How can ya forget Magnus 1's???   for the money NOTHING beats Magnus Broadheads in cost, sharpness, toughness and overall quality..

and honestly I don't currently shoot them on any of my arrows ,, but if I was short on money and need the best for my buck it would be magnus without a doubt.

Old green Bear Razorheads. I find old arrows at yard sales for about 5 bucks for 10 or so (done this a couple times ) and have had them given to me by old hunters for free. Get the short screw in adapters from 3R and presto!

Snuffers & Woodsmans.  Easy to sharpen. Hold an edge.  Nice hole in & out.  Been using Woodsmans for a while.  I really like them.

VPA for sure.  I strayed and tried Zwickey in Alaska last year and immediately regretted it.  Unless you lose them I don't see how you could damage one without a sledge hammer and good anvil involved.

You can buy cheap often, or buy quality once.  I prefer the latter when my hunting is involved...

Good luck guys.

Take a 2 blade STOS glue on broadhead (130, 145 & 160 grains) and glue it to a 36 or 42 grain screw in long broadhead adapter and you've got yourself a very strong screw in broadhead where the tips won't curl, it's easy to sharpen and they fly great.

zwickey No Mercy , stos 160, Grizlly and the original eclipse ...

and in the fancy chapter the Muzzy Phantom 220 grs

after in the expensive chapter you have the VPA/woodsman elite (they are the same)in the non vented area and off course the anti-tank Abowyer ...

2 Blade
Zwickey Delta
Grizzly El Grande

Three blade
Woodsman
Snuffer

These have killed everything on the planet. There are more expensive versions, but they don't make anything any deader. I generally prefer the two blade heads, but I've killed deer with Woodsman and Snuffers too.

I have been happy with Stos Lately,

I'd listen to Ray though.
Relax,

VPA products are the best, bar none.  This year I'll be using 150 grain VPA Terminators.  I can't say enough about how impressive these heads are.
