Title: VPA Broadheads
Post by: Neely1911 on March 28, 2016, 02:36:00 AM
Anybody tried the VPA broad heads?  I've shot their 100gr NV from my wheeled bow with great results and can't see a reason not to try their heavier 3 blade versions with my recurve.  Thanks.

It's definitely my favorite broahead. I'm currently using a 200gr, 3 blade 1 1/4" cut.

I have some 200 gr 3 blades. Seem to be a good head. There are a few on here that have killed several animals with them.

I have used the 200 gr 2 bladed heads. They are tough and easy to sharpen.

I used the 150 gr  3 blade to harvest my first trad kill last year!

Complete pass through even from a shot at a steep angle (was 25 ft up a tree with a 20 yrd shot quartering away). Will surely use them again this year!

Easy to sharpen too, all you need is a bench stone!

I shot my first buck with a 200gr 3 blade. The bloodtrail was unreal, compared to 2 blades I used on previous deer. Incredibly easy to sharpen with a file or benchstones.

There are a number of different places to buy the heads...Big Jim is one that comes to mind...you can also buy them directly from VPA online store

I use a 250 grain 3 blade and they are absolutely awesome.

VPA's are some of the best heads out there. They are super strong and take an incredible edge. That said they are a bit pricey but you get what you pay for. In my opinion they are one of the best options out there especially the three blades.

They are made close to where I live.  Those guys really know their stuff and are making a great product here in the USA.

Killed a few deer with vpa heads.  They are without a doubt my favorite broadhead.

Best 3 blade made at any price IMO.

Wish they would make more of the 200g 1-1/4" glue on heads.

We stock them as well.

The VPA's are awesome, they have quickly become one of my favorites.  If I could only have one head at this point, the VPA's would be a front runner at a minimum.

Top quality, super strong, fly like a dream and sharpen easily.  What's not to like?

I've used the 250 gr 1 1/4" Terminator and the Big Jim Big-3 300 gr 1 1/2" for the last several years...  They do their job when I do mine, and haven't had to replace one yet...  Easy to sharpen and tough as any...

Ive used the 175 and the 250s - This is a restock yr for me and broadheads but think I will split the difference and go with 200 VPA.

They are just good proven heads. they do sharpen up easily.

VPAs and RMS cutthroats will be go to heads this yr.

I just ordered the 160 & 190 glue on heads directly from vpa.

Thanks for all the replies. I shot 4 deer with the  VPA 100 grain non-vented head last year and couldn't see any reason not to buy their larger heads for my recurve.
