Most Popular Traditional Head? -

BigBuckDown · 11-24-2009, 03:36 PM

From what I've found online, it seems that the Zwickey broadheads are very popular with traditional bowhunters. It also seems that the traditional glue-on, 2 blade designs are very similar amongst many manufacturers. Magnus, Zwickey, etc. What is the most popular traditional broadhead and why?

Archer is going to manswer this one way above and beyond what I am capable of but I would think prob be a toss up between the Woodsman and the Zwickey.

Anymore I see BUNCH of Woodsman users which are made by Magnus. I'd still say that Zwickey's are the most used, but least talked about heads out there. I've used Zwickey Eskimos, but I just can't ever get into a two blade head.

I'd say that Zwickey's are the most popular as they've been around a long time.

I would say Zwickey or the good old black Magnus head. I really like the Magnus, it's cheap and holds an edge well. Oh and it cuts tunnels.

Funny I haven't seen anyone say Wensel Woodsman. Has anyone shot one?

varmint101 · 01-09-2010, 03:02 PM

I said Woodsman.

I killed 3 does with them a couple years ago out of my 63# longbow. They performed very well cutting thru leg bone and ribs like butter even at pretty far distances. Great blood trails too. I give'm a thumbs up!

Shot a few critter with a Woodsman, this year's buck included.

Zwickey by far for wood arrows. For aluminum...G5 montec, magnus, G5 used to make one called a B52 but they discontinued it for some reason...the old bear razorhead still kills 'em...my favorite near the end of my stint with a longbow was the nap razorcap. it looks like the old rothar snuffer, big head, but it flew good for me.

Zwickey all the way. I have shot Magnus too but prefer Zwickey.

Well, if we're talking the most popular of all time I'd have to say it's probably Zwickey's various heads or the old Fred Bear "Green Head".

If we're talking today, Zwickey is still a contender, but since Magnus makes so many they would probably win as far as sales goes.

It would be tough to prove the single most popular head.

Most popular brand maybe?

Still I'd vote for Zwickey or Magnus.

Does anyone still shoot the Bear Razorhead? At one time all of my dad's hunting buddies shot them. I took my first 20 or 25 deer with them but I never see them anymore.

Pearson deadhead what a classic. I wish someone would start making them again.
