What are your guys favorite broadheads? I am looking to try a new broadhead this year. I want to shoot 175 grain heads. I like the look of the two blade single bevel grizzlies but not sure I want to go as narrow as 1" for deer.
I like anything VPA makes...pricey but well made and a lifetime warranty. I had a 3 blade screw in that didn't spin 100% true. It shot fine though. I mentioned that head to VPA in an unrelated email and 3 days later I got a new 3 pack in the mail! I didn't ask for it to be replaced (let alone 3 new heads!), I just wanted them to know about it because I have been on a hunt with the owner and I know he is all about quality control. VPA also makes Cutthroat broadheads for RMSG and they are the easiest to sharpen single bevel head that I have owned. Good luck in your search for a new broadhead! Mike
My favorites in order:
Cutthroats
Grizzlies
Muzzy Phantoms
VPA
Magnus I
Cutthroats!!!! :goldtooth:
I also like Woodsman.
Muzzy Phantoms
Cutthroats, kodiaks, and deltas are all good in my book
Grizzly Instinct
Vpa three blade
I have used the Eclipse Werewolf Single Bevel in 175 grains for deer, boar, and gator. It is an underrated head.
Zwickey Delta is 175g in a screw-in model. Zwickey is a time-tested, time-proven head. Tough as nails. And you can buy two 3-packs of them (or more) for what several other heads cost for 3.
single bevel Hill, then a three way tie for regular Hill, Hunter's Head and standard Grizzly.
Right now it's 3 blade vpa but have also used Magnus stingers with good success and I'm gonna be trying some grizzlies this year so that might change!
Another vote for Cutthroats SB!!
The ONLY BH I use are 235 gr. Grizzly Kodiaks right bevel with a 75 gr. steel adapter. The past 4 years have taken 2 moose, bull elk, whitetail buck, 3 Javelina and 2 hogs ....... so far. My personal "Best Buy".
Actually anything Grizzly makes is going to be great. Haven't tried the 3 blade Instincts but have heard good things about them.
Simmons Tigershark
Well I have used many different things. I always liked 4blade zwicky deltas. But here lately Simmons has been in my quiver treesharks mainly.
175 gr Woodsman Elite, non vented. Are these the same as VPAs? Also like the carbon snuffers(does magnus even still make them)
Grizzly Instinct
Woodsman
Snuffer....in this order of preference, although any of the three are first class broadheads.
Simmons sharks, wensels, grizzlies
Woodsman
Cutthroats and Woodsman elite/VPA
So many good heads these days and all of them will do fine. I've been using Grizzly's for several years now.
I really like the woodsman heads. Easy to get sharp and short blood trails.
I don't have "A" favorite, but I bought a slew of 160 Magnus 2 blade before they quit making them. I haven't found anything that they won't kill, I'd shoot a T-Rex with one.
Simmons Tree Sharks I have and like but the Centaur heads are heavier built and available in glue on. Snuffers have never let me down and are an easy blood trail to follow. All are easy to sharpen up to the point that you are scared to be in the same room with them.
Zwickeys, Ace standards, Magnus II. I've narrowed it down about as much as I can....
have a few bear razorheads left from the early 70's that I use from time to time. Went through a time where 125gr snuffers were my go to head. Last 20 years or so been mostly about 2 blades, grizzly, rib tek and stos. Lately been settled on ace 145 or 160's. Pretty rough out of the package, but like razorheads respond very well to file sharpening. So I can touch them up in the field with only a file. Very good quality at a good price.
Nowadays we are blessed with tons of great broadheads, lately I am been using single bevels. The only 3 blade I like are the VPA, Cutthroat , Grizzly, Abowyer, Tuffhead are all on my quivers. Since they are sharp I can go wrong.
Deltas and No Mercy,both in my quiver
Terry
VPA Terminator 250 grain 1 1/4" screw-in, and Big Jim's Big-3 300 grain 1 1/2" screw-in...
Also use Magnus 1 2-blades 135 and 160 grain weighted up to 250 - 260 grains with steel adapters...
Honorable mention: Snuffer, Zwickey Delta, Silver Flame DS, Centaur Big Game and Battle Axe, Simmons...
VPA 175 grains

Many excellent choices these days.
My own go to's in order of game toughness, tbe quarry being pursued and the fire power of my set up. :
1, VPA 250 gn two blade
2, VPA 250 gn three blade
3. Big Jim 300 gn three blade
4. Simmons Tree Shark
Have proven selfconfidence in all of the above.
VPA makes quite a variety and as has been stated is behind a lot of great heads....
Zwickey Delta or Stos.
The Eclipse looks promising as well, but I have not killed anything with it yet.
The old bear razorheads......that's all I've ever used since the early 1970's.
Woodsman original
Grizzly single bevel
Bear Razorhead
Pretty much in that order
Zwickey Delta 4 Blade
Zwickey or Magnus. I wish the old green head Bear points were still readily available.
Muzzy Phantoms
Palmer Extreme Cuts
Hard to beat the Ace line of heads. Their 165 gr Express is a personal favorite. If you like them wide, the 175 or 200 gr Super Express should be right up your alley.
I keep going back to the grizzly single bevel but I would definitely use a bigger head on whitetail if I could get good flight.
These guys know what they are talking about

Grizzly single bevels for two blades and VPA for three blades. Lots of great broadheads available.
I like the woodsman, magnus UK & grizzly heads.
Magnus II (stupid auto correct)
They do not make Razorcaps any more but they are my favorites. Fortunately got over 50 of them so I am good. If I didn't have them it would probably be the original Woodsman or a Muzzy Phantom. Both are easy to sharpen and penetrate like crazy.
Snuffers, Magnus II's, Bear Razorheads.
Zwickey Delta 2 blade.
Red River Broadheads R-1 in 125 grain is my favorite! R-1 Broadhead (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dF1Ol2EXEoo)
These are of the highest quality and on sale for $24.99 a pack with free shipping.
I have tried a few different heads with good results (Wensel Woodman, VPA 3 Blade, Zwicky(sp), Magnus) but the last 3 years of so it's been Simmons Tiger Shark 175.
I have taken deer with that broad head that with others would have been misses or superficial wounds.
If not for Photobucket robbing all my post with pic's I'd show you devasted wound channels.
Shot two deer this past year with what normally would have been a flesh wound but due to the design of the Simmons turned into deer on the ground.
