2 blade broadheads
Hey Yall
Theres a million different types of broadhead.... and they all look the same to me. lol. The only ones that have really stood out to me though are the 2 blade broadheads. Any of yall use em? What do you think? I'm wanting to get some grizzlystik but $$$$$ yikes. Carbon express has a decent looking 2blade. Yall try it? |
i have been using NAP killzones and rage hypodermics, both great broadheads
|
I prefer 3 blade....two blade make a "slit", 3 blade make three flaps....three flaps bleed more and plug up less in my experience.
Used the Sonorans (Schwackers) don't like the way they stay shut and I lost a deer once that barely bled...so I switched to Grim Reapers and never looked back. LC |
As far as 2 blade broad heads are concerned, I've wanted to try the dirt nap drt's but I think you have to order them... And they have 2 bleeder blades so maybe not really a 2 blade but whatever. Youll get a lot of people saying to use grim reaper razortips or any grim reaper, they're an awesome Broadhead. Also a lot of people like slick tricks.

Someone says two-blade and I automatically think Zwickey and Magnus.

Here we go ....
Physiologically speaking, what lefty said about flaps from 3 blades bleeding more is 100% correct. Also, a shallower angled blade (muzzy 3 blade) will penetrate better than a steep angle (muzzy mx3). A trocar tip design will out penetrate any other tip design, though a cut on contact blade (phantom) is better than a wedge. Performance wise, mechanicals work until they don't. Anything with moving parts will fail eventually. The only place I see for a mechanical is if you hunt in high wind (>25km/hr) ex southern AB. With that being said, I do plan to set up mechanicals on some of my arrows for just that reason. You must be shooting enough arrow weight to have the energy to open consistently. And only take broadside shots, regardless of what commercials say. Pick one that has a positive locking design, elastics or clips, vs a passive blade tension design to avoid mid flight opening. Make sure your bow is spec tuned, paper tuned, and walkback tuned. then you get to test broadheads. They all have to be spin tested, and shot at every range/angle you would shoot an animal at. The carbon express 2 blade has a reputation for making a buzzing sound during flight. Never tried it myself. |

If you like the grims...try the Wasp Jak hammers out too. 1 3/4 cut! They are deadly!!!

Thanks for the input, I will try them next year :)

DRTs
I've got some of dirtnaps DRT two blade (with a small 2 blade bleeder) broadheads on the way. They look like they will perform great and dont have any moving parts to increase chance of error. Decided on them after some research and having a popular mechanical that rhymes with sage have a failure IMO. (first time I tried a mechanical after having success with fixed three blades but a better blood trail was desired)

95% of the deer I've seen lost, were off 2 blade broadheads! |

Like LC stated, that flap closes quickly, and blood trails fade faster.... |

Has anyone been using Slick Tricks, if so what are your thoughts on them?

Typically a light blood trail isn't from a shot thru the lungs, or it is high up thru the lungs and the blood doesn't leak out like it will in the lower half of the lung cavity . low hits bleed more outside, high hits bleed into the lung cavity. Guts and legs don't bleed much . |

Two blade mechanicals won't be screwed onto the end of any arrow I use for hunting any longer. LC |
What do yall think of single bevel vs double bevel? And it's the fixed blades that I'm leaning towards.
Thanks guys |

You bleeding theory is correct for the most part.... but there are numerous factors that can change things.... hunt long enough and you'll witness all sorts of things. Field points and blunt arrows will kill, with shot placement. ... but thats not the question. The question is 2 or 3 blades...without any other deciding factors....i will never put a two blade head on my arrows.....ever... just my opinion...doesnt make it wrong if you use two blades pete...its all opinion and preferences. |

Then we have people repeating the story about the 2 blade or mechanical failing, and they realy do not know that this is the cause . The animal is not found so for all we know it was hit in the ass or the hoof. A muscle shot animal can and will clot up, but this does not happen in the lungs or heart where the arrow is supposed to be. As for hunting long enough, well I probably have hunting boots and socks that are older than most of the guys on here have been breathing.:) |

The other problem with a single bevel is you need to match them to the fletching , and they are harder to sharpen than a conventional 2 blade. The success with the grizzly heads is without question, but I don't think a single bevel is making it succesfull, it is the ratio of length to width and the strength of the grizzly that makes them work well. |

I was wondering if they needed to be matched to fletching due to said spiral effect. How would i go about figuring that out? |
