If you ask a handful of bowhunters which broadhead is the best for hunting deer, you’re likely to get two handfuls of “right” answers. So we asked more than 40 of our field staffers which Swhacker broadhead they like most for hunting deer, and lucky for you, four models emerged as clear favorites.
If you’re looking for a good recommendation on which broadhead to use this deer season, consider one of the following field staff favorites.

“I really like the hunt-ready plug system on the #261. I also am a huge fan of the 1-inch entry and 2–inch cut with the 100-grain head.” - Ryan Reynolds (No, not that Ryan Reynolds)
“The #261 has the best flight out of any broadhead on the market. And wound channels are just devastating!” - Matt Clark
“Love the #261! The Blade Lock technology means I can practice with the very same broadhead I hunt with.” - Shadi Ramos

“The #269 is the best all around broadhead I’ve ever used. Flies straight, huge cut and holds up very well. Super sharp straight out of the box.” - Carson Blackstone
“Love the #269 125-grain Levi Morgan broadhead. They are the most accurate broadhead I have shot. I started with the #207—that was devastating! But after testing point weights on the 3D circuits, I found that 125 grain points worked better for me. So when the #269 came out, I swapped to them and haven't looked back.” - TJ Mitchell
Swhacker LRP Series Broadheads

“My favorite is the #275 LRP broadhead. The long range accuracy and unmatched sharpness of the LRP broadhead gives me confidence in my accuracy and lethality every time I draw back!” - Hunter Hogan
“The Swhacker #276 LRP broadhead works best for me. The LRP components offer great strength and allow me to shoot micro diameter arrows with excellent broadhead fitment.” - Ryan Peroceshi
Swhacker #207 aka “The Mean Green”

“The #207 "Mean Green" is easily found at most retail stores or ordered online. Great blood trails and short recovery distance/times. And the practice heads allow for the same performance as the hunting head.” - Justin “Doc” Sharp
