Which one in your opinion
« on: October 13, 2012, 04:47:00 PM »
First this not a question of which one is better.
Due to going to a lower poundage bow this year, from 56 to 49 I am curious as to which broadhead you would chosse to shoot. Either a 145 grain snuffer plus insert or a 4 blade zwickey eskimo both shoot real well. Both arrows are weighing about the same and do fly well....thanks

LOL....everyone will have their thoughts.....for me I would go with the Zwickey. Both are good choices.
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

I'm currently shooting the 4 blade eskimo, but either will get the job done.

For deer it won't matter..........for hogs and Elk more penetration is more critical. IMO not the snuffer.

Definitely the Zwickey. It's more like a two blade with bleeders and penetration will be better with a lighter poundage bow. I just killed a doe with a Zwickey. It hit the edge of a rib and rotated between ribs going all the way through the chest cavity.

Zwickey if you can get those small bleeders sharp.
A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight;nothing he cares about more than his own personal safety;is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free,unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
