Bear razor head

Wish they still made the stainless Bear Razor. They were able to be screwed into your insert and the bleeder blade was easy to replace or remove to sharpen the broadhead. They reminded me of the 270 win. they were boring and they just flat worked. The price was also very good compared to the others on the market at that time.

Looking for an affordable broadhead that will hold up to shooting targets, grouse, elk, trees, rocks behind grouse, etc.- and that I can sharpen & hone back to a razor edge for hunting after all that.

I'd like to get away from having to keep separate heads for practice and hunting, always buying replacement blades, retiring broadheads after hitting one animal with them, etc. As a metallurgist- I like steel. I like sharpening steel, and then polishing the edge. It's fun, and you can't convince me otherwise. I've had good luck with the groups from Thunderheads and QAD Exodus, but they just don't hold up to abuse.

I think I can get away with 175-200 gr on my .300 spine arrows- IF lighted nocks (or weighted) can bring my dynamic spine back enough. Shooting a Bowtech Reign 7- 30" draw, 70lbs, IBO @ 340 fps.

So with that said- was eyeing the Magnus Stinger Killer Bees (150gr). Or the VPA single bevels. Or a few other single bevels. Thoughts?

I wasn’t impressed with 2-blade single bevel performance, small holes that flap shut, not much blood, but they killed, just a tougher track job. I have a similar energy setup as yours (31” 75lbs 336IBO 520gr TAW), and I really prefer 3+ blades a lot more, especially the 4-blades, and arrows still zip through critters with a triangular or square hole. If you had a lower energy setup and were worried about penetration then 100% I’d say go 2 blade, I’m just not sure you’ll be that happy after testing on critters.

It’s all subjective though. You might slice open an artery on the first animal you shoot and get crazy blood and a quick death and fall in love with 2-blades from one good experience, just like I’ve gone away from them after a few less than ideal experiences.
