Two Bladed Broadhead
« on: February 05, 2013, 06:32:00 PM »
Any recomendations out there for a durable quality two bladed broadhead that comes in 125 and 175 grains?

I am currently shooting vipertricks and wensel woodsman broadheads and really like them, but i have read some of the Ashby reports and i am open to change.

I am on a budget, but i can be convinced to save and wait...

They all work. It's a personal preference thing. I shoot Magnus 1's  STOS and VPA 3 blade. Love them all.

Ace is another good head that comes in a few weights, good prices too. Zwickey makes a good head as well.

Can't go wrong with a Zwickey, the Simmons seem to be very good from what I have read. There are a lot of good heads, get them sharp and get them to fly straight and your good to go!

I've shot Zwickey Deltas for a long time and still have at least one in my quiver.  Also like STOS, and if you're into single bevels, hard to beat an Abowyer.  I usually have one of each in my bow quiver.

I'm shooting Zwickey Eskimos and Deltas.  Price is about as good as it gets but you do have to sharpen them yourself.  As far as quality......

Simmons is one heck of a broadhead. Major damage!    :scared:   I have seen them take out deer, turkey, pheasants and etc. Oh and they are very accurate. JMTC

I have nothing but praise for Stos and Magnus.  

I have popped the spot weld on several Zwickeys (the blue Eskimo version), but that is small game hunting in rocky pastures and is as close to abuse as a head can suffer.  I silver soldered them back up and they fight on.  :thumbsup:

I use Zwickey Deltas, Magnus I, Simmons tigershark. But why switch if the woodsman are  what you have? They are a great head, easy to sharpen and penetrate as well as any 2 blade.
