I am sure this has been a topic manytimes but I was unable to find anything. I am looking for a new broadhead to use in the up coming season. Did some reading and talking with a friend who shoots two blade broadheads. I am liking the Steelforce in 100 gr at this time. Anyone have any other suggestions or comments good or bad when comparing a two blade to a three blade. I shot a three blade that gave me some problems this year could have been the quality of these etc. Don't know, just know I am looking at something different. I shoot a compound bow at 70 pounds, deer and elk. Again any help would be great. I have enjoyed reading up on different posts on this site. It has helped me a lot since I am a green horn of only two years of bow hunting, AND I LOVE IT. Thanks in advance.

I shoot three blade 100 grain muzzys. They are great heads. They penetrate well and are accurate. Any of the quality 3 blade heads should do fine. Thunderhead and wasp, also make good shooting heads. The only ones that I actually have killing experience with are the muzzys though. I have no complaints.

this is all preference and what flies good with your set up, but prefer muzzy's over anything else. i shoot their 100 gr. 4 blades on my set up. i am pulling 73 pounds and they shoot just like my field points. they also are the toughest broadheads ive ever shot and they give great blood trails.

a two blade might get you a little better penatration but not always even out of the same set up. a good 3 or even 4 blade is the way to go you get a better blood trail because it makes a hole and not just a slit.
for a good 3 blade fixed head a rocky mountain titanium or razor cap is hard to beat
for a 4 blade a slick trick is great i havent tried them but i have been doing alot of research im thinking about trying them also this year by the time im done ill have 6 different broad heads in my quiver

I used thunderheads last year and hated them others swear by them though. This year I think I will be using magnus stingers (2 blade) or the new ss snuffers (3 blade).

Some really good informtion. Has anyone that is using a 2 blade had any problems with find blood trails or anything like that? I have a Wac-em 3 Blade that I am experimenting with and the flight is nice for my set up. Any thoughts?
Just thinking it will be a matter of preference and trial and error on the range.

i havent personally but i have had a few friends and hunting buddies that have in the past the key there is to use bleeder blades to have alittle extra cut if your wacems are working good stick with them

Hey Joss,
Some buddys and I use the Rocky Mountain Gator XP. It's an expandable cut on impact 2 blade and we have gotten good blood trials so far. They just tore up my bucks vitals last year. Tracking him wasn't too tough. He only made it 35 yards.

Jeepin Bowhunter: I have looked at those but if I remember correctly here in Oregon you can't use them. But, yes I browesed them. thanks for the info.

I shoot the NAP Scorpions and Spitfires. These mechanicals are very accurate and deadly. I've been fortunate enough to watch over 15 animals go down within 40 yards on every kill since I started useing them. This includes tough Hogs to over 200 lbs and a Auodad Sheep that was 275 lbs.
Most broadheads do a good job, the key is shot placement. I giude down in South Texas and see a bunch of different broadheads used. On 99% of the animals that are taken that the shoot placement is good, they fall pretty fast no matter what broadhead is being used.
PYBOWHUNTER: You hit it right on the nose with your comment about shot placement. I agree with that 100 %.

Shoot placement is the key to all bow hunting. You ethier make a good shot and harvest the animal fast and humanely or you make a marginal shot and HOPE to recover the animal. With me being a guide, I see so many animals being harvested and it's amazing how many fast recovery's we have with proper shot placement. You can always tell by the way the hunter acts about the shot and know if it will be a fast recovery or it might take some time. I've seen it with bow and gun hunters. Our worst nightmare is to have one of our hunters tell us he is not sure where the arrow hit. We know right away that we need to give the animal more time before going after it.
