I shoot 150 grain tips. I bought some 160 grain Eskimos and they fly great. I would like to get a few more heads before hunting season and want to try the delta's. Only problem is the only threaded model I found is 170 grain which will be like 180 since these heads are usually over their stated Weight. Do they make a 150 or 160 threaded model delta?

Just buy the 135 grain Delta glue-on and get some aluminum BH inserts at about 20-25 grains. That's the way most folks do it. Pretty simple to build the weight you want.

Fishgut: I suspect you are going to sharpen the broadhead before hunting, that alone will remove 10-15 grains. That's why they are heavier out of the package.

The Zwickey's have always had just a rough grind on them. That is probably why they can keep the cost low. They file to shape very easyily.

Just like George said, they are a great broadhead.

I found some 25 grain adapters. Thanks I get them pretty dang sharp with a file. They seem like good heads. Any tips on sharpening the bleeders? Just buy a smaller file?

They are great heads. I would try a smaller mill file for the bleeder. Nicholson makes good files for that purpose.

Some folks can't get the bleeders sharp enough so they file 'em or break them off with a pair of pliers. A 2 blade Delta still leaves a great bloodtrail.

I sharpen Zwickies with a true-angle stone and works very easy, all 4 blades, then on a leather strop.
