'That' question again.....
« on: August 13, 2007, 05:35:00 AM »
I'm trying to decide on broadheads for next year's Sweat hunt (yeah yeah, I know it's early, but I gotta do something!)
I'm told it's going to be mainly hogs we're after.

I've got a fair arsenal of heads;

Zwickey Delta 2-blade,
Zwickey Delta 4-blade,
Snuffers
Woodsmen.

They're all inserted to 200gn, they all fly like lazers & I can get them all ridiculusly sharp.

All other things being equal, which would you choose to hunt big piggies with & why? (Oh, I'm shooting a 59# at my draw Horne's Combo longbow with a total arrow weight of 600gn)

I would go with the snuffers. I like the extra cutting width and with your setup i don't think penetration will be a problem.

Any of the Simmons heads.  They all seem to fly great.

Well, that's one vote for every head I own, plus one I don't! More opinions needed yet!  :D

I don't think you could beat the Woodsman with a stick. But that is just me.

Guess I'd vote for the Delta 2-blade.  Why?  Penetration of 2-blade plus cutting width.  I'm a rookie compared to most of you guys, but I've learned I'd rather hit one in a good spot with a bad broadhead than to hit one in a bad spot with a good broadhead.

Woodsman. I blew through a big, fat hog with mine and my 61# Border. Went 30 yards max and no wondering where it went!

I don't think it is a matter of performance but "personal prefrance". If it were me i would shoot a razor sharp two blade. I would also a carry a snuffer in my quiver. I've shot a few deer with both heads, but I have yet too hunt a hog.

I'll be kicking around East Tennesee with The Wife for a week's hunting. Property hunting that is!

Thanks so far y'all. Keep 'em coming...

You have listed all very good heads, imho. Take em all and shoot one with each head. My quiver typically has 2-3 different heads in it and I chose whichever one to shoot on a whim because I know all will do the job equally well. Variety...one of the spices of life!
