School me on broadheads

[MTArrowLauncher]

Please    

I am wanting reccomendations on 2 blade broadheads. Who makes the better quality ones, durable, sharpen well, etc. What have you guys used and liked?

thanks

Open up the website or catalog for any traditional archery shop... see all those broadheads? Each one of those has someone who will be happy to tell you it's high quality, durable, and is easy to sharpen. That individual will also be happy to tell you about game taken with the head.
I'm not trying to be unhelpful, just trying to show that all the heads will get you the same answers.

VPA, Tuffhead, Alaska Bowhunting Supply, Silver Flame, Abowyer, and Grizzly are some of the premium (and expensive) heads. Lots of other good two blade heads are out there (almost too many to mention) that are less expensive but perform very well depending on what you are shooting. Some folks here brag about the STOS, Ace, Tusker, Zwickey and others for toughness and penetration on big animals, but except for the STOS that David Stinson has tested extensively with buffalo, I would not say that the other non-premium heads will stand up to the bones encountered in hunting really heavy animals. Then there is the issue of whether to use single or double bevel blades. Right now I plan to use VPA 300 grain double bevel Penetrator broadheads when I return to Australia next July to hunt Asiatic Buffalo again, but that may change as more information comes in about these and other broadheads and as I continue to test various heads myself.

I like the magnus stingers.

Good ol Bear Razorheads. They're like Levis, they never go out of style and get better with age!

[Desperado]

3 blade..snuffers...no doubt (from my own experience)
2 blade..land sharks...no doubt (again, from my own experience)
HOWEVER..Grey is right...everyone will tell you something different, each from their own experience...the answer, keep 'em sharp and pass on any questionable shot!! Good luck & be safe!!

The VPA 2 blades meet the requirements you stated (EXTREMELY durable, high quality, sharpen SUPER easy, fly well, etc.).  That being said, we don't currently offer a glue on 2 blade yet.  That's on the to do list, but until then we only offer the 3 blades in glue on (also very durable, fly well, easy to sharpen, etc).  Andy Ivy (tradtusker here on TradGang) did some testing of the VPA 2 blade and posted it on YouTube.  Just do a search for "VPA broadhead" and you'll find 'em.

Let me know if you have any questions about the VPA heads.  Hope that helps and happy hunting!

IMHO, any cut on contact 2-blade bh on the market will serve you well. Whatever you choose keep sharp. Prefer Ace 160 grains. Heavier wider bh's weren't available not so long ago. Bear & Zwickey 125 grain have killed a big bunch of large animals. As important is proper shaft weights to help increase momentum penetration.

There are a lot of great 2 blade broadheads out there and 99% have already been listed you have to decide which one you want and how much your will to pay. The price can run anywhere from almost $100 for three broadheads to $25 for six broadheads. It is easy for me I shoot Zwickys there about $25 for six and I shoot at everything that is legal to hunt.

For a 2 blade head...I really like the looks and reviews of the Steel Force Phat Heads..I've always been a 3 blade guy...but next season...I intend to try these and see if they live up to the reviews..

My favorite 2 blade cut on contact broadhead when I'm using a heavy arrow setup are STOS broadheads.

Open a 3 rivers catalog to the two blade BH page,close your eyes and put your finger on the page.That one...they all work...

[flinter]

Every one of these heads that have been listed will suit you well. The two most inportant things are to make sure that they fly straight and that you can get them sticky sharp

Abowyer Brown Bears and STOS 160 gn.

I have the most experience, and kills with magnus 2 blades, but cannot see anything wrong with Zwickey (other than its hard to say),bear Razorheads,grizzleys, and allthough I have not taken an animal with it the Ribtecks sharpen real good too. (Just about cut my finger off with one a month ago)
