Today, I did some fiddling around the arrow table. I came across 3 glue Simmons Tree Sharks that a good friend from back east sent me about a year ago. I had some inserts glues in them for carbon arrows but when I tried them last year, they made a audible whistling sound. But today, after some fiddling, cutting, tapering cedar shafts and shooting arrows. I had the 165 grain Trees Sharks flying like darts and quiet as a whisper. I was truly amazed at the accuracy and performance. Looking forward to taking them into the field.
 But I will always have a Zwickey in my quiver.
Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison;

I've shot every type and all are pretty good. But only connected on one deer.
It was a simmons.
wasn't impressive but it was a smaller version and I hit the deer in the spine (but it worked)


Looking at the pics those things make some of wicked holes.

This year Im making up some woodies with the wide simmons.

Like throwing an axe

My point exactly. Bigger the wound only means, more blood on the ground, easier to track and a quicker kill in my opinion. I was truly impressed on how well they flew as well as the penetration they had for being a wide 2 inch broadhead.

Have been using the old Bear Razorheads for 46 years, since 1970.  They've worked great for me, so I've never considered changing. What influenced me to use these, Fred Bear of course!!!

I've used many different heads to kill deer and other animals only one or two have failed me and someone on here likes them the best . I like the old Razorheads with the bleeder as I like multiple blades better than 2 blades I'm not convinced that a 2 blade penetrates more and I don't think penetration is an issue on North American big game . My favorite broadhead is the  Wensel Woodsman ! I've had some heavy blood trails and some quick kills,my arrow flight is great and I find them easy to sharpen. If I was to use a 2 blade again I would go with the Simmons Tigershark

I haven't been able to take an animal yet...but my Toelke Whip will be shooting Surewood Douglas Fir shafts with a 2 blade Eclipse, or 4 blade Zwickey Delta come spring turkey season.
