It is a modified 4-blade for me. A Zwickey with the bleeder reduced so I can sharpen it in my "Lil Shaver". Good penetration,and it gets the job done.

Have used Snuffer's and WW for years now, love them. I seem to be able to get them sharper than any 2 blades I have tried. Would love to try Centaurs Big Game head, might order some yet to try. But for now its 3 blades for me.
May your arrow always fly true and your hunt be an adventure.


Shoot Straight,

99% of time I use 2 blade....I like them, I have faith in their penetration, and they work in my 20 year old Lakota quiver.

Rest of time I use Snuffers...but last couple years only used them on turkey..or chasing turkey as have not connected yet this year or last.  :)

It really depends on which bow I grab in the morning. With the heavier bow it will have arrows tipped with 160 gr. snuffers. After all, why leave a hole when you can leave a big hole.  :D  If it's the lighter pound bow the arrows will be tipped with the tried and true 2 blade zwickey eskimos. Just my personal preferences, but any "sharp" head is bad medicine for any game.

Been a 2 blade magnus fan forever.  Bought a 3 pack of the 125 grain heads ten years ago.  Still got two, and they have never failed me.  Having said that, Im itching to try a 3 blade woodsman.  Never too old to try something new.

I hunt Hogs and Elk with a 50# bow; so a good two blade is what works for me.

I've used them all but I have used 2 blade probably 95% of my 45 years afield with bow.  The only time 2 blades didn't do the job was when I made a poor shot that no amount of blades would have corrected.

Amazing how most of the older experienced hunters are using 2 blade heads.

I use 2 blade 100% of the time and like Brock, the rest of the time I use a 3 blade.
