Title: traditional arrows and broadhead?
Post by: thegamejr on April 05, 2013, 05:57:40 PM: Does anyone have advice on wood arrows or broadheads? I was looking at some raptor archery arrows. And zwickey 2 blade eclipse broadheads. . . Anyone ever used anything from raptor archery or the broadheads?

Buy the zephyr or simmons they are both very well made heads.

Their history and tradition is worth supporting and her arrows are a work of art. I usually get the spruce.

Of course the nest step in traditional archery is making you own :chuckle: It is like reloading and just as addicting.

Depending on weight of broadhead you use most of the old reliable brands are good. I use Stoss but, honestly can not say it any better that others mentioned.

Suzanne St. Charles - One of my favorite people on this earth! You won't find a better wood arrow. She takes her arrows very serious and it shows.

I am a fan of the Zwickey heads for traditional wood arrow bowhunters. Solid construction, good steel, great bargain and a great and successful history. I do prefer the Eskimo or Delta models over the Eclipse.
