So they fly great and I shot a doe last Sunday quartering away and hit the shoulder blade right in the "T" of the blade it went right through and came out the brisket. Blood every where!! I mean even with just a head lamp I just walked right to the deer there was barely any blood left in the deer. I read allot about the single bevel and 2 blade penetration in Dr. Ashbys reports and would buy his heads if I could afford them but bang for you buck these are sweet!! Buy Some!! And learn how to sharpen them!!

Most Liked Negative Review

design flaw

It is understood that Zwickeys require sharpening before use, but the three layer design of their broadheads will need modification before a single bevel blade application will be practical. It appears (based on side by side comparison) that the same outside ferrule plates are used in both the single and double bevel broadheads. Unfortunately the flair in the ferrule plate which reinforces the tip also comes almost to the edge of the blade on the under side of the bevel for approx. the first 3/4" on both sides.(see image)This makes sharpening this critically important part of the blade almost impossible.
Until this is corrected, stick with the tried and true double bevel configuration and you'll be sharpened up and afeild in a timely fashion.

Comments about No Mercy Single Bevel Broadhead Screw-In:

After reading the literature about the effectiveness of single-bevel broadheads I was curious to try them out for myself. These were the least expensive of the bunch, and Zwicky as a company was highly recommended by an archer I know with far more experience than I have.

I read the warnings from others about the difficulty sharpening these initially, and they had merit, although I don't know if I'd really call it difficult or just time consuming. The factory bevel is not all of one plane, so some time with a rough stone was needed to shape it down and put a small "tanto" tip on them. These points bring my arrows a bit north of 460 grains, and shot from my 45 lb recurve they just about go through my target block, which is somethign my three blade G5 Montecs never came close to doing. Being solid they also fly very quietly.

If these came sharpened or even with a level bevel I'd give them five stars but with the effort you have to put in to get them ready I can only give four. Deer season is still many months away but I'm looking forward to taking these to the woods, they seem like they would do the job. They might get a retroactive five stars if I get a deer this fall.

Delivery was very fast, thanks!

Comments about No Mercy Single Bevel Broadhead Screw-In:

I've been using Zwickey products for years, as well as those of competitors. Zwickeys, including these broad heads, have always been well made, durable, great value, and dependable. I've take game with their Black Diamonds, Deltas, and Judos. I've never suffered a failure from any of their products that wasn't directly related to shooter error. These broadheads are well crafted, with tight, even welds, good, straight inserts, and I've no doubt that they will kill as well as they fly (straight, true, and repeatable). However, the grinds on them were very bad; uneven grind lines, uneven angles, grinds over on the ends and edges, etc. I fully anticipate using them, but only after at least 45-60 minutes per head to reshape the grinds by hand and then sharpen them. I did call Zwickey about it, and their customer service was very attentive, quite apologetic, and committed to make it right. I still recommend, and will still use, Zwickeys, but pay very close attention to the QC with an expectation of having to fix it.

Comments about No Mercy Single Bevel Broadhead Screw-In:

A decent attempt by Zwickey at a single bevel option. The construction of the head, however, is not the best for design for single bevel. The flat side of the head isn't, and can't be, truly flat because of the layered construction of Zwickeys. I ended up converting all three heads to double bevel.

Comments about No Mercy Single Bevel Broadhead Screw-In:

They are ugly, dull and were kinda hard to sharpen at first. After some practice I can now get these hair shaving sharp. They do as advertized. Fly straight. penetrated great on a 200 lb hog. I used many broadheads over the years and can't imagine any broadhead performing any better and those other ones cost twice as much. I use the same broadheads repeatedly on targets and resharpen for hunting.

Comments about No Mercy Single Bevel Broadhead Screw-In:

I had a hard time finding single bevel broadheads that i liked and that were not too expensive, so i tried these. They are typical zwickey quaility and +-2 grains. My only quam is that they came very dull. Now a days most heads are coming sharp. I had to, not just touch up but first use a file and then go through the whole sharping process. After getting sharp i put a tanto tip on them and they seem to be holding a good edge. Warning: listed as 165 grain and weighed in at 175 and 173 after sharping!

These broad heads were dull out of the package, and required a lot of work to get just a usable edge. But they fly true out of my 75lbs compound.

Comments about No Mercy Single Bevel Broadhead Screw-In:

This head looks tough as a tank. It will be a great head if I can get it as sharp as I like. So far, it has been pretty tough to sharpen, but it is my first experience with single bevel bheads. Good value for the dollar.
