Think it would be the same, but just a guess. I did see on the back of the 3 Rivers catalog I just got there is a new non-vented WW and I think it was either 125 or 150. I would call them and check.

They are vented and approx. 1-7/8th inch base to tip and 7/8th inch from back of blade to blade. I love the Elites/Teminators but also prefer a longer head, so when I need 125 grains it's the original, which is still noticeably shorter than the 150 screw-in that everyone's familiar with.
We just recently listed the dimensions of the VPA heads on our website, since we were being asked this question quite a bit. If you are shooting either 125 or 150 grains and prefer a longer head, then by all means shoot the Woodsman Elites. That being said, don't let our shorter heads fool ya. Get them scary sharp and you'll get great penetration with them. Personally, I used the VPA 150's last year and shot a big doe with my 54# Great Northern longbow and Gold Tip 5575's. Penetration and the blood trail were both very impressive.
As always, shoot me an e-mail if I can be of any further help.

Not all of the screw in 250 VPA's are 1 1/8" diameter...
If you can get enough people to "commit" they have in the past made special runs of the 1 1/4" Diameter ones ( a bit more $ though than the 1 1/8" ones } I have 4/3pks I have not even opened yet, as I'm still working on my original dozen which were printed "proto-type" on the back of the packages when I bought them.
Tough heads, spin perfect, soilid 1 piece w/no welds or brazing, coated, hold an edge, quiet in flite, easy to sharpen, and provide excellent penetration... What's not to like!
I love the big holes they produce and are about as close to 3:1 as I think you may find

The 100 and 125 grain Elites are 2.6 inches long and the150 is 3.25 before they grind the pyramid tips on them.

Dont let the shorter VPA fool you. They fly great and have been through quite a few elk, deer and bear with full pass throughs.
