"Seems most/a lot of guys go to three or four blades once they hit 50#"

I never heard that one before. In my nearly 30 years of traditional bowhunting, two blade is most prevelent with those I've hunted with.

Low 50's is my favorite weight range and the poundage of all my hunting bows.  I ONLY use 2 blade heads.

All of my bows are50+# all I shoot are 2 blade Magnas, Bear or STOS. Aleays have always will. They never had a problem wher I felt I needed 3 or more blades.

I do and most people I know that shoot trad bows do most of the time, either that or they shoot a four blade with a small bleeder. Most everybody here setup for elk and use the same setup for everything else. I see very very few three blade in quivers here.

Various bows, but if you see me shooting, it's probably a Toelke in my hand!

62@29 and 57@29 640 grain arrows 200 grain Grizzly Kodiak 2 blade. I'm just a believer in using 2 blade single bevel. I killed 3 deer with it last year...pass-throughs and short recoveries on all, even one I made a poor shot on. I do think I am going to switch to a 185 grain grizzly and a 75 grain steel adapter this fall...1/8 inch narrower, but thicker steel and stronger overall. You don't need a cavalry saber on your arrow...most important other than shot placement is leaving an exit wound, and a narrow, tough, single bevel heads give you the best opportunity to make this happen.

62#@29 and I shoot 2 blade VPA Penetrators. I figure if I make a bad shot and hit bone I have a better chance of it coming out OK  :)
Also I found my 3 blade vented Woodsmans hiss in flight.

I shoot an 80lb tribute. I use 2blade heads still. A few different ones but all weigh in at 290-300 gr. Cuthroat, magnus clasic ma 1 ,grizzly. They all fly great and easy to file sharpen.

Until I become a better hunter, It does not matter what I shoot   :rolleyes:   I will use what ever flies the best for me though and I can get sharp.
Relax,

I'm shooting 61# at my draw length (29.5") and have some 2 blade heads in my quiver, just depends what animal I'm chasing.

Elk/moose sized game I'll use my Cutthroats, most everything else is the VPA 3 blade. Although I wouldn't hesitate to use either head on anything I could have a chance @ taking in North America
