Who shoots 50# or more and still shoots 2 blade BH?
« on: May 30, 2015, 12:43:00 PM »
If you shoot 50# or more, do you still shoot a 2 blade?
Seems most/a lot of guys go to three or four blades once they hit 50#

I shoot a 2 blade Magnus out of a 55# and 52# and will sometimes shoot it from my bows over 65#

I switched this past fall to the 160g Ace Broadheads.  My bow is 53# at my draw.  I switched because I couldn't get my three blades to fly well.  Got a complete pass thru on my deer last fall...

Two blade broadheads work fine, why switch.

I just prefer the extra cut of the three blade.  I shot Zwickey Eskilites last year as I was planning on hunting with 43#.  I ended up shooting 52# and the 145 grain tips flew well with the bow and arrows I had, but this year I will be shooting a 125 tip, so they are too heavy unless I go to a different spine as well.

I shoot 2 blades out of a 57# longbow. Shooting single bevel Steel Force BHs now but may try Simmons out this year.

I shoot a 60# @ 27" (my draw is 26") and still prefer a 2 blade. I'll take whatever penetration advantage I can get. Nothing wrong with 3 blade, 4 blade, bleeder blades or whatever else, I just like a 2 blade. The eskimo has dropped more animals than I'll ever live to see and if it ain't broke I don't aim to fix it.

Yeah, but those Simmons are more like a hatchet than a broadhead!   :thumbsup:

71# and shoot 2, 3 & 4 blades. Nice thing about this weight is I can use whatever COC bh I feel like as long as they are sharp.

Currently have VPA'S & Zwickeys in the quiver. Ace's, Snuffers and Magnus have all been used and may again. Have a bid on some others in the St. Jude auction.

Will probably have two blade for elk.

I shoot 52/55/57/58# bows with Zwickey 2 Blade Eskimos, Deltas, Deadheads and Schulz heads. I like Snuffers for Turkeys.
