I'm shooting the 100 grain Land Sharks. I've not spilled blood with em yet. However, the link below will show you that these broadheads fly lazer straight.

I shoot the tree sharks and love em! When I first shot them at a target in a stiff crosswind I compensated when I aimed only to watch my arrow go exactly where it would have gone with no wind(at 30 yards nonetheless)! I had to clean the dirt off the blade and after that I just ignored the wind completely unless it is gale force.(warning: I shoot ~730 grain arrows with 350 up front. so that plays into the equation)

Thanks for that, Thumpkin. Much heavier arrow than I'm shooting but no change is no change and I can't imagine there being a ton of difference in a ~500gr arrow, especially since I rarely shoot past 15 yards. Of course, I have a new-to-me Dale Dye on its way to me so I'll likely be tuning at the end of the season anyway. Going to stick with the last few snuffers this season.
Thanks again, guys.

I shoot the Interceptors,Landsharks and sometimes a tree shark out of bows 50@27 or less with arrows from 550-500 grains and usually shoot thru everything.Chris Spikes "Landshark 160" Shoots a lot more poundage but has killed Critters with arrows under 500 grains with a Hill bow and Simmons heads.RC

I shoot the little 100 gr. landsharks and they have the same size cut as a Magnus or Zephyr for instance. Nobody would question how those heads have worked over the years. I shoot those heads as well and the little Simmons head just flies great. If you are just after deer and turkeys, you should have no problems whatsoever. Very easy to sharpen with just a steel out of your knife drawer, a few strokes and you are done. I mount mine on a Gold Tip so that when I cant my bow they are horizontal. Have a good season. DI

Ive used the tigersharks and love em. Never seen so much blood spilled with a two blade. Every shark seems to fly dead on as long as they spin true which isnt a problem.

Hard to beat the tree sharks, amazing head! They shoot great for me, 3 5 inch dura vanes, no problem out to 40.

I killed my Bull Elk this past September with 160 Glue-on Interceptor (non-vented) and then a Antelope buck with a 135 (vented) glue on Tiger-Shark. Last night I shot a WT doe with the Interceptor. Had a great blood trail which was nice because I only sliced the bottom /back of the heart and got one lung so she went a ways. My only negative is I dont like the noise (call it a whooosh) that all vented heads seem to make. So I prefer the Non-vented glue on 160 Interceptor. I think it may be the best of the bunch. In flight...it is night and day difference between the noise these two heads make. Game alarming noise!!!
My arrows are around 550 gn. Bow is 54 lbs @29". Steel broadhead adapters are used in 100 or 125 to make a 250 gn head plus aluminum insert. Also...the 160 gn Interceptors actually weigh 150 although the owner said he may get them back to an actual 160 in the future. Something in the grind etc reduced weight from the past heads. No big deal. I like the 150 final weight anyway.

I've shot Simmons heads since 1990, and have never noticed noise from any head, be it Interceptor, Landshark, Tigershark, or Treeshark. Even out of compounds at around 270 fps. I've also shot the original Interceptors, and Safaris, which aren't vented, and can't tell any difference in the sound.

No noise from my Tigersharks either. Sweet heads!

I have hunted the Land Shark, Tree Shark, and Tiger Shark ... great heads and I do not hear any noise. The Simmons Steel Master is a great sharpening tool, even I can get a scary sharp edge on my Sharks with it, and I suck at sharpening !! For me much better than the steel eating wheelie sharpener, I really suck at that thing.

I switched to Treesharks, and I've never been disappointed with them. They leave some big holes!!
