Not that I don't have several 160 SB Grizzly's and SB No- Mercy's, But when the rubber hits the road the quiver in the truck is usually loaded up with super sharp 1 1/4" 250 gn screw in  VPA Terminator's.. I have yet to find a head that performs better.   :thumbsup:

Only 31 votes were made when I looked....it was nearly split 50/50...it will be interesting to see if that trend continues.

A wide two blade zips thru without slowing down...sometimes, my local whitetails don`t even realize they are hit and settle down from the noise after a jump or two.

I usually watch them tip over.

Honestly, I have had a few bloodtrails that I would consider poor, but the same is true from back when I shot the BIG Thunder head 160 three blade.

I keep threatening to try a big Snuffer, but I just can`t get the same RAZORS edge as I can a two blade.

Mostly 3 blades here as our whitetails are not large critters, but depends on many variables like what game animal, which bow/arrow combo and what shot angle I expect. Usually have both in the quiver.

I've had snuffers zip thru without the deer realizing it also. They all work for me.

I can't vote twice so I can't vote, I carry both... depending on what I'm after...

I've always said, 2, 3, or 4 blade all work... Just need to put it in the right spot...

Wide 2-blades (Magnus 1, and recently Centaur Big Game and Battle Axe...), Zwickey Delta 4-blades, and VPA 250 grain 1 1/4" and Big Jim Big-3, Snuffers... the bigger the better... Those are the heads I use and trust...
