Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Bowhunting Two blade broadhead

What do you all like for a two blade broadhead? Magnus, Grizzly?

I'm thinking of something a bit heavier, say 125 gr or 150 gr.

I'll be shooting them at deer and eventually elk.

thanks....Jeff

Modern gear or traditional? I like the Silver Flame 125 gr in my compound and the Zwickey Delta with stick bows.

I used to shoot Magnus 2 blade, 125 grain heads until my hunting buddy gave me some Zwickey 125 grainers. They're all I shoot now as they seem to sharpen easier than the Magnus heads did. I use a Tru Angle sharpener. It's the one mounted on a "V" block with 2 files attached. I shoot traditional. 2 piece Palmer recurve, #51 @ 28" draw. Nothing but lodgepole pine shafts, 3 fletch left helical feathers.

Traditional shooter here. I use the Magnus II Stingers in 125 grainers .

Interesting....... I shot the Zwickeys for a while there and had the opposite in sharpening. Found them harder to sharpen than the Magnus. Probably me .

45-50lb compound.

I'll pass on the two blades.

Bad experiences?

I used the Magnus 2 blade. Easier to sharpen than Zwickey imho. Killed deer. Good shots too. BT not the best. Switched to Stingers w bleeders. Killed deer. Better BTs.

Dunno if tough enough for elk.

Shooting FF rated trad gear of 55#.....i like the old Magnus Snuffer. Guess out of production now. Thatd be my go to for deer.

Elk.....think a tool steel head of some sort. Maybe cutthroat single bevel. Doubt i ever go trad for elk anyway

I’ve killed quite a bit of stuff with Magnus Stingers, two blade with bleeders. Great head in my view.
I’ve switched to Iron Will two blade with bleeders. They are the ultimate, in my view, but expensive.

3 blade for deer. If going 2 blade its gotta have bleeders.
Want a hole not a slit

Bought G5 strikers to try. Worked great from wheels.
Friggin spooky sharp.

Will shoot something and report back LOL. 54# blackwidow.

Iron Wills.

They are pricey as all get out but I am pretty impressed with them.

Intend to shoot a bison with them at the end of August.

That'll be a good test but so far they are tough as nails and penetrate like an SOB.

i went back to using Zwickey Eskimo 2 blade with bleeders,i have no problem sharpening them but i learned how 50 years ago. i do have to use 5 inch helical vanes and lowered my poundage on my compound to 50 lbs. and with a little tuning they fly excellent and slip right thru a deer and draw plenty blood for a good blood trail too if you can sharpen them correctly.good luck with your choice,Pete53

Agreed, for me I'll take 4, more cuttin the better.

Viper trick - two elk, two pass-through.

DRT Dirtnap - have a pack to try on deer, like collars for the extra weight, but haven’t flown them yet.

I’ll probably try the Wicked Trick at some point this season

Jud....what do you like for broadheads?

Used muzzy alot, when I start slinging arrows again, slick trick will get a hard look. I've killed a bunch of deer with the old bear razors with the bleeder blades installed, the worked pretty good. Shot the rocket ultimate steeles a bit, everyone I recovered shed blades so I shiit canned them. I like the thought of more blades for more hemorrhaging buyer entry\exit wounds. That my thoughts, but I also shoot Remington, leupold, Talley lw's and ballistic tips for big deer... Grin 😂😂

I am not a fan of two blades. They don't fly as well as three or four blades. I know someone will rush in here to say different. But truth of the matter is that They just don't spin like three or four blades.

I shoot pretty much all Razor Tricks. But have used others from Muzzy and WASP.

Jeff, if your set on 2 blade, check out kudu point, but I work with kills a couple bulls a year with em, he loves em.

Agreed - a two blade will show any flaws in your bow's tuning, or your form/release.
