Have been using them for the last year and a half. Really like them a lot. Put many of them through hogs with only one failure on the far shoulder, tip curled a bit. Did have a couple of bleeders break off in some targets and animals but they are pretty cheap and easy to replace.

These are my go to heads. There a a lot of great heads out there but these a by far my favorites.

One things is get yourself a Simmons wheelie sharpener cause most of these heads, I have had, need to be touched up out of the package.

Good luck with whichever you choose.

No experience shooting anything but foam with them, but the bleeder blades are a HUGE pain to get in and out. I bought them to use, just never got a shot. I will still use them this spring for turkey, but will retire them after that. They do fly very nicely for me.

I bought some on a whim once, but could not get them to spin at all, so I never shot them.  I did get them at Wal-Mart, so maybe they were seconds or something.  Lots of people love them and have no problems with them.

I have had good luck with them.They are the among the biggest broadheads made and the largest 125gn I have seen that works well out of stickbows.The 4 blade cuts more than a large snuffer.Never had a problem getting good flight from them.
....Quality deer management means shooting them before they get tough....

I shot two deer with the 220 gr and had great luck with them. I found that they are sharp out of the pack , at least the ones I got where. I had no problem spinning them either , great heads , used the same head for both deer with a little clean up.
