Who still shoots snuffers??
« on: April 19, 2013, 10:20:00 AM »
I've killed a lot of game with the.  Just got away from them last few years. Resurrected a couple for groundhogs. Forgot how good they flew and how easy they were to sharpen. They still being made?  Saw they are 41 bucks now!!  Wow

160's have been in my quiver for the last ten years.  Great head.

Been using them since the very first ones that were made from Ben Peason Deadheads!

Thanks Roger for inventing a GREAT broadhead!

So...if you were looking for around a 200 grain combo would you go with the 160 and an aluminum adapter or a 125 with a steel?? Deer size game.

160 Snuffer + 42 grain long aluminum adapter is my choice for a 3 blade head.

That's what I use.  The 160 and 125 gr. are two completely different animals with the 160 being preferred.  I've bent up some 125's pretty good.  Any bend of a 160 is usually just at the tip and some file work it's good to go again.

I use them for spring turkey and bear hunting. Also took quite a few deer with them.

Being an older gentleman I've gone to lighter bows and find that the 160's are too much weight so I've been shooting the stainless steel 125s. I do have a question for the people who are not sharpening challenged like me. How would you sharpen these heads? Thank you.

Regards,
Grouse

I've shot them for alot of years. Venture away and try different things every now and then but wind up right back with them.

$41.00 ???????? Never seen them that high. Try Tim harms at Braveheart. He's a sponsor here.

I'm thinking a fellow Tradgang member named Ryan probably still uses them.

Great heads.  I have taken a number of deer and a bear with them.  Very nice blood trails to say the least and they are tough.  I like the 160 best, but I have had good success with the 145 too.

160s for me for the past 20 yrs or so.......never a doubt about how they are going to work or hold up.....I have also used the 125s with no problems but they tend to get tweeked/bent a bit after a pass through or miss and hitting something hard.........YMMV
