For deer, black bear, feral hog sized game, I cannot speak highly enough about the simmons tree shark. Some people have trouble sharpening them but its really not difficult. They fly great, penetrate well, and leave a massive wound channel.

I add two weight washers to them to bring their weight up to 200 grains and use a 100 grain brass insert. Ive killed three deer, a feral hog, and a bear with them and none went more than sixty yards. I shot the bear coming down a tree. The head entered just in front of the hams and passed through the body lengthwise, exiting through the sternum bone. She went about 50 yards.

I prefer the Grizzly Kodiak single bevel 2 blade broadheads. Mount easily, fly great. Very close to the 3:1 length to weight ratio and a proven design.

Just my opinion, but I would stay away from the Montec heads. In my personal experience, with them is they are VERY hard to get sharp, and harder to keep that way. Especially the stainless ones. I have read many others having the same issue with them. The ones I used were the Montec G5.

If using a recurve, I believe you’re better off with a stout 2 blade head anyway.

Just as it took me decades of searching to find the one bow that does it all the way I like best, I have come to prefer Tuffheads. I mostly hunt elk so am heavily biased in the tough-head direction. The smaller the animals you hunt, the more workable heads you have to choose from. But do stick with fixed blades that have cut on contact points. As more and more manufacturers are coming around to the necessity today to provide hard steel (52R seems the norm) and hunting-sharp from the factory (because hard steel can be the devil to get sharp the first time), there’s no reason to buy anything less. If you can see parallel grinder marks on the bevel faces, they’re nowhere near sharp.

There are lots of good broadheads available today. You don’t mention your prey, arrow choice, draw weight – or glue-on vs. screw in. Two viceless broadheads I have come to rely on for whitetails are the 135 Gr Stos and the 125 Gr Magnus II. The Stos has a penetration advantage but the Magnus II is easier to sharpen. I shoot 30-1/2″ BOP Douglas fir shafts, tapered to 5/16″ over the last 12″, making 600 to 640 gr total weight arrows, launched from 50 to 60# bows (the Magnus II in the lighter bows) and either will exit a 200# whitetail leaving two nice holes.

I’ve been using the Zwickey Eskimo on my whitetail and turkey arrows almost exclusively since I started bowhunting. I love the look of them, they are tough as nails and I can touch ’em up everyday with an accusharp tool if needed. I switch to a mixed bag of single bevel Abowyer Brown Bear and Tuffhead broadheads for my slightly heavier Elk arrows.

But, if I was suddenly forced to switch, I would definitely choose a broadhead made by Zwickey, Magnus, Stos, Eclipse, ACE or Grizzly

I love the sasqatch 2 blade 135 grain, u can add a bleeder that comes with them that makes them 145 grains. I just use them wo the bleeder. they are huge but fly perfect. They are 1 9/16 wide and about 2 1/2 long. thick blades and sharpen well. They are also reasonably priced around 30 bucks for 6. tough as nails and cut a monster hole!

There is definitely no shortage of great broadheads on the market. Like Alex, I’ve found Zwickeys to be excellent. Of all the Eskimos and Deltas I’ve sent through deer over the years, nome of them took any damage. I would have no reservations about using them again.

Since 2004 I’ve shot 125-grain Ace Standards and found them superb in every way. From small game to elk and moose, they’ve worked flawlessly for me. Like Zwickeys, I have yet to ever damage one in an animal.
