I’ve taken some deer with the Woodsman. EXCELLENT broadhead. One drawback though is that the needle type tip can sometimes chip or bend a bit if you hit bone. But outside of that, it’s a great broadhead… At least for me it has been.

Came in today and purchased my first recurve bow and a dozen arrows. The two guys working were patient and very knowledgeable. Got us set up with what we needed and truly knew what they were talking about. Recommend anyone feeling overwhelmed about getting into traditional archery to make a trip into the shop.

Short, straight to the point and loaded with good information for those seeking answers. Thanks for making this.

Great vid! Very informative!

Thanks for the info!

I have some old 1990 Bear Razorhead 125 grain broadheads. I’m thinking of shooting them to see how they fly from my Bear Montana 45# longbow.

Priceless information

Johnathan, I have a suggestion please. When displaying small things like the different broadheads, try to get a close up as you discuss the different styles in n this case of broadheads. The little red one looks awesome from a far. Close ups could have shown the "bleeders" on either side better. As is we'll have to take your word for it. Other than that nitpick it was an awesome presentation.

Thank you for the suggestion. We only have a few cameras that we can run, but we will work on getting some more B-roll footage afterwards to splice in with the filming.

Palmer 160 vs woodsman which is stronger?

I am new to tuning arrows, but not new to shooting recurve. In the past I just shot whatever length arrow I bought. This leads me to my questions. I have a samik sage 45# . I have a 30” draw but it only goes 29” no biggie. I also use gold tip 32” arrows. Should I be trimming those down? Also what weight should I be using on my tips? I keep seeing conflicting views.

You can draw the Sage to a 30" draw, it just might have some stack at the end of your draw. You can leave the arrows full length at 32", and assuming it has an upgraded string from the stock one (higher performance one) I would use a 400 spine carbon arrow with a 125 grain point. If you want more weight up front for increased FOC (front of center) weight, then the spine will need to be stiffer as well. Using a test kit is best to find the proper tune.

With the 2 blade, single bevel, do you sharpen with a file or with stones? Or both? Which ones survive a miss and let you continue using them with minor edge cleanup?

Depends on how dull the bevel is for what to start with. A file is good for starting and getting a clean edge. Once you have new edge, then switch to a diamond hone. Finishing on leather with a honing compound gives great results too. There is no one broadhead that is guaranteed to survive hard hits and still hold the edge. All comes down to the shot taken and what is impacted and how. Sorry this is a bit vague, just too many factors go into the answer.

I am curious about the strength of vented versus non-vented broad heads when they hit bone. Any comments based on experience?

Nothing officially tested regarding it I'm afraid. I'm sure you will get opinions on it both ways as well.

Hi thanks for the info.I'm new to trad hunting. as for game the white tail and turkey. on the single belvel which one do I need I'm a right handed shooter?

You will want to match the broadhead bevel to the wing of the fletching you have. If vanes, it will need to match the offset (normally right wing).

I like your video I am new to bow hunting I shoot a recurve what kind of broadhead would you suggest for turkey hunting and deer hunting thank you very much

I personally love a 3-blade head for those two game animals. It puts down turkeys fast, and you get a good blood trail on deer.

Any one of these broad heads will kill just fine. It’s proper shot placement that is the real key. Consistent practice even six shots per day will keep up a skill set. Enjoy!!!🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌
