Broadhead decisions...

[Spitfire Htr]

Just wanted some input as to which broadhead you guys would shoot out of a 44# @ 28" Groves magnum? I draw 29" and I'm shooting 31.25" Easton axis 400 with an 1.25" aluminum footing over a standard insert. The arrows are tuned and flying great. I put a 150 grain snuffer out front this afternoon and they flew like darts, but I pretty sure there will be penetration problems on deer with this size head. I am needing something in the 150-165 grain range, preferably a multi-blade head. I think I'm leaning towards the following: WW 150, Steelforce hellfire 150, No Mercy or Eskimo 4 blade. You 2 blade guys can chime in too.   :D   Thanks and God Bless, Steve

Ace Standard. Super tough, easy to sharpen, and easy on the wallet. Darn good heads.

Snuffers will work fine on deer with your setup. If you're set on using a two blade, Zwickey Eskiomos or Deltas or STOS are among my preferences.

STOS are some mean two blade heads.

[joe skipp]

Zwickey 2 blade Eskimos and Deltas. I shoot both from my 57# Groves and 52# Fedora.

The same thing I shoot out of every bow I own.....German Kinetic Silverflame or Silverflame XL, 150gr.

IMHO, one of the best heads made (and they should be for what they cost!).

I have tried or hunted all that you have listed and a bunch more. I have finally settled on Simmons heads. I love everything about them. My wife likes Steelforce in that range and they have performed well for me as well.

Magnus stingers and Buzz Cuts come in 150gr both four and two blade, can't go wrong with them in my book

X2 on Simmons.  Using the 165 Interceptors this year.

I shot Groves bows for years and also Snuffers. Since Groves is no longer I shoot an ILF hunting bow but for broadheads I found that the three blade Razorcap, which has weight adjustment ferrules, to be the deadliest head I have used since the 50's. All but two animals have gone down in sight and a moose I shot only took 3 strides. I have had similar results with the original Woodsman and I imagine the VPA has to be as effective. The best feature of the Razorcaps to me is the ease of sharpening a three blade head and the steel in them, which is stainless, holds the best edge of most any broadhead I have tied. I also have had good results with the Eichler Phantom by Muzzy.

Personally I would shoot a non vented four blade such as magnus with the bleeder blades

[Shawn Leonard]

VPA 3 blade will work fine, easy to sharpen with a jewel stick and 3 On 1 design penetrates fine out of most any HUNTING weight Bow! Shawn

I've been using Grizzlies with great success and have never bent one. They fly like no other 2 blade that I've tried. Not too expensive either.

[eflanders]

Most any really sharp head will do.  You might read the other broad head topics being discussed currently too.  I agree with many that shooting one that gives you personal confidence is a huge factor especially given that most of our shooting is done instinctively.  But, the sharpening factor is also really huge. You need to invest in good sharpening stuff as well.

All here are great suggestions. I shoot the Steel Force Hellfire 150gr.. I have been blessed to have harvested several nice bucks S.F. Hellfire. They are sharp right out of the box, they're truly tough, fly like darts and you cant beat the price!! Best of luck with your choice!!

X3!

I would probably try a simmons head at that bow weight. Penetration of a two blade but they cut a hole that rivals any other head out there.
