Rangeball.
The Wensel Woodsman is a very popular broadhead with Traditional shooters.
You might go to www.stickbow.com and do a search on them there.
I have thought about trying them, myself.
They look like a very impressive broadhead.

I answered your question several days ago. Since it was just a passive observation and not a full-blown test, there was no reason to start a separate thread.
You have to stay on alert or those deer will keep walking under your stand without you seeing them.

If not deserving of a new thread, where' d you hide it?
If the deer visiting my stand have anything in common with your answer, I don' t think I have a chance at seeing them no matter how hard I pay attention

RE: Hey C903
Hmmm! I posted a couple of paragraphs about my observations….somewhere.
To summarize what I wrote, because I don' t want to write it all again on just an observation:
My friend was shooting in on a medium-hard foam-rubber deer (interior might be less dense). He was shooting a 62" recurve, pulling about 53# @31" draw. He was trying some different heads to determine best flight characteristics. He was shooting Bears Razors, Zwickey, Magnus, and Wensel. The heads were mounted on 2 brands of wood and Easton 2413 aluminum. I had originally thought the Wensels were 140 grn heads. I found out yesterday that the heads were 125 grn.
The aluminum mounted with Wensels turned in the best flight; although the group was left of POA, which we are sure is a spine issue.
What I eventually observed, was that not only was the Wensels flying very well, the Wensels kept considerably out-penetrating the other heads. On one shot, an arrow actually penetrated the entire foam-rubber deer, maybe through a previously shot area. About 4" was protruding out the opposite side. A few other times, the Wensel penetrated to a depth that required pushing the head the rest of the way and then unscrewing the head so the shaft could be pulled out.
I thought that performance was unusual for a shaft being launched from a 53# recurve. Distance was about 15 yards for the one that fully penetrated.
Nothing scientific or controlled, just an observation.
