I have a 64 pound longbow and want to know which broadheads y'all prefer to use with similar weight bows. 2 or 3 blade broadheads? I used some old school 3 blade snuffers out of my compound years ago and loved them, they were a cinch to sharpen and performed great! Being new to Trad archery I'm not real sure which is a better performing broadhead.

Ive by no means killed as many trad kiss as most of the men on here but i do have around 15 couple deer and the rest hogs. I personally prefer a 2 blade if you hit the vitals the animal will bleed plenty. i also like the penetrating possibilities with 2 blade. ive got some 125 grain Hellrazors 3 blade that are cut on contact that are razor sharp i was going to try but decided its easier to get a 2 blade to penetrate deeper there for getting blod to the ground. ive been told that a 3 blade cut on contact will work if you hit the vitals just my 2 cents im sure other people will be giving there advice as well

3 blades provide a bigger entry/exit hole for blood flow but 2 blades typically penetrate further. I shoot 2 blades and don't seem to have any problems other than a smaller blood trail if you don't get a pass thru. Nothing better than a scary sharp 2 blade.
Our bowhunting fathers stated a 3:1 ratio is the best for 2 blade penetration. 3" long x 1" wide.

I make my own screw in broadheads which are not perfectly aligned most times. Even with the lack of trueness in the broadhead, I maintain the same point of impact.

If a person is shooting enough weight, I'd always recommend a wensel woodsman (3 blade) because they just leave more blood on the ground. Mind you, I've killed a ton of critters with 2 blade heads, and watched many of them go down in sight. However, I was always dissapointed with how little blood I found on the ground with them. I only use 2 blade heads now with lightweight setups like my daughter's bow, for max penetration.
