I've used the 3 blade both in the glue on and screw in.
I think they're great.

I shot them last winter and shot a hog and a javelin. Both were perfect hits I found the arrow from the javelin and the broad head was unscrewed never seen it again .  On the hog, when I pulled out the arrow there was no head on the shaft, later I went through the lungs and blood clots and found the head, it had broken off behind the blades in front of the threads and the head was as dull as a butter knife !It would shave hair when it left my bow. These were the custom heads with the little arrow head silhouette cut through the blades very expensive. I went back to my WW and Razorheads when something works good for you you shoulnt change.

I shoot the VPA 150's...the 2 and the 3 blade shoot the same for me in multiple bows. This buck was with a 3 blade 150 1 1/4"

Only shot a bear with one...did a good job...right now I am hunting with 175 grain Penetrators, 175 grain Terminators, 250 grain Penetrators and 250 grain Terminators...you might get the impression I like the VPA broadheads...and you would be right

I set out a while ago to reduce my herd of 40 bows...And I am finally down to 42

I shoot the 3 blade 200s and the 250s Great heads. I have one of the short stubby 200 grain heads I found on an old bloody arrow in the woods. sharpened it right up and put it through a goat on the next trip out.

They work very well.

Shooting the 200gr 2 blades this year for the first time. Hopefully I can let you know how they do.

Also trying their small game head out. So far, just a swing and a miss on a squirrel. Not sure if I missed, or the squirrel just got out of the way. Lol

I shoot the 250 gr Terminator 1 1/4" out of most of my bows, but my MOABs love the 300 gr Big Jim Big-3...  Great heads!
