Woodsman® ELITE 3-Blade Glue-On Broadheads Review

Accurate, Good Construction but They whistle!

I put these on wood arrows I built the arrow shafts where premium shafts from Sherwood shafts and I meticulously straightened the shafts and aligned the broadheads. I tried different rotations with the heads 1/4 turn nothing would stop the whistling. They are great heads otherwise. They get super sharp, they are accurate, well built and almost perfect except for the darn whistling.… read more Go a spine up and get the non vented woodsman or VPA.

OK

I have used these for 2 years now and I am finally writing a review because I do believe they make some noise when shot. I didn't notice it at first but they do make noise. However other than that they are pretty awesome. Shot a nice buck at 20yrds and got a pass thru with my 50# recurve. I do think they are over priced. I picked mine up when they were $$$ on special. Would not… read more pay [$] come on that's a little high. all around though decent head

Can't get them sharp enough

They look well made and fly nicely,but seem impossible to get sharp enough to hunt with. Couldn't get any of the six that I purchased sharp. Previously used the original woodsmans, and was able to get 3 out of six sharp after hours of effort. I am done with these.

First elk with a bow

I mounted 160 gr. glue-ons to 32 gr. adapters on full length 2219s. I shot a cow elk at 25-30 yds with a 60 lb longbow, behind right shoulder, Woodsman came out in front of left shoulder. The heart shot elk went about 25 yards and down. Great head, super easy to get sticky sharp. Shooting in a block of strofoam at 20 yds. the Woodsmans penetrated 1 1/2" deeper than 2 blades of… read more the same weight every time.

Not your daddy's woodsman

I've used Woodsman broadheads for years. I've killed bear, caribou, whitetail and moose with them. I won't shoot anything else. Seeing the new Elete I thought; "give em a look". Too bad, they are not up to the original. Although advertized here as shooting sharp, my friend and I checked them and found that not to be the case. Very not. Fine print on the back of the package… read more advises that they must be "honed before hunting". They did sharpen up OK. They are SMALLER! Yes, shorter and have a smaller ferrule than the standard woodsmans. I shoot a tapered shaft to put some weight forward. These new Eletes don't fully seat on the taper like the originals do. And yes, the whole broadhead is shorter. Since it retains the 3:1 ratio, that means the cutting width must be less also, although the advertizing claims otherwise. These new Elites are not a substitute for the original. I'm not going to use them and would not recommend them.

Great traditional broadhead

The woodsman broadhead is well made and very very accurate.I found it a bit tricky to get a good hunting edge on it , but after trying some different files and stones I was able to get a very keen edge.Now that I know what to use it's much faster to sharpen.

One very scary broadhead. Delivery swift

Use these broad heads very carefully. You don't have to shoot them to cause accidental harm. They are strong, well fashioned, and used properly will bring down just about anything I can think of.
