Anyone else besides the BIG GUY use them? I'm shooting treesharks now but may give up the extra .5 in cut to have another blade on there? Whats your guys' thoughts on the issue

I do.  Havent hunted with them yet. But i would surmise that they  are the ultimate head for our homegrown critters.  Vpa 250 is my back up head they are only a tad smaller and I have had nothing but more than complete penetration on elk with them.   No reason why I won't get the same result with these, with a bigger hole bonus!

White tails definitely arent an issue.

I'd like to hear a few more opinions/results on this head.

I shoot them to me it really depends on the poundage of bow you are shooting.  A 3 blade does not penetrate as good as a 2.  I love the big 3 easy to sharpen spins perfect everytime and with my 60-70lb bows they are awesome.  Then again I love the treesharks as well just hate the whistle of the vents.

Blain,
Are you considering shooting the Big 3 out of that rocket launcher you shoot? Man that is going to be something to see!

Pass thru... but not a complete pass thru... on a doe using a 32% Ultra EFOC arrow out of a 51# bow.

The shot entered her chest and exited the inside of the rear left thigh. She just layed down.

My hunting set-ups are geared to optimize the Big 3's lethality.

Hey Doug, I don't have that bow anymore... R.I.P I have since droped down to 55# or so at my draw. and have got used to shooting 300g field points the past few weeks.... kinda got me thinking about giving the big 3 a try this year.
