Big Bad Broad Head Thread, 1 3/8th and wider

[Izzy]

I forgot to mention the big ace express. I have some and have been pleased with their accuracy but haven't killed with em. I have killed with the smaller ones and they perform as well as anything else I've ever tried. Ease of field sharpening gives ace a big nudge to the top of the list.

Izzy,
Recently acquired some Simmons Tigersharks 175 screw ons. I found a used Simmons Steelmaster from a fellow member here last week. I tried it out this weekend. Very easy to use and put a wicked edge on these heads. I actually deboned a boston butt with one attached to a short piece of shaft. It was still sharp, but touched it up anyway, took longer to get the sharpener out and mount the head than the dozen or so strokes with the ceramic rods to bring it right back to what it was. I would definitely put my vote in on the Steelmaster..... the key is bringing the burr all the way up and down the head on both sides with the file included....

It is hard to beat the success of a Zwickey Delta, but I'm trying out some Simmons Tiger Sharks this year. At 1 9/16" wide, they are some wicked looking broadheads. They also seem to fly very well. I didn't have any trouble getting them sharp. It's about the same process as sharpening a knife, so I'm not sure what the fuss about sharpening broadheads is all about. I will say it is easier to just grab a flat file and put a scary edge on a Delta than it is on the curvy Simmons blades, but a touch up with a Jewel Stick does about the same thing for the Simmons.

Zwicky Deltas and the old Pearson Deadhead.

Magnus 1 up top, simmons interceptor on bottom.

[Izzy]

Im feeling those Magnus 1 or Ace express, hell,,, I'll probably stuff some of both in my quiver. Thanks for the responses fellas.

Izzy, If you want a few Deltas to play around with let me know I've got some laying around.  Joe

I use the screw in Simmon's tigersharks for deer and the Treesharks for turkey. I have shot several deer with the Magnus 1's they do good but don't leave as big a blood trail as the Simmon's.LCH

I've only shot one animal with the BIG tree shark but I was impressed. Will be shooting them for turkeys again this spring.

[Charlie Lamb]

Magnus I (almost always w/bleeder)
       

Did I mention they penetrate well.
   

Don't forget the original Snuffer design and the Big Jim VPA.

Love the Simmons line too.

[Izzy]

Charlie, looks like you got your money outa that Magnus, it looks to have a concave profile.  

[Jake Fr]

Toehead what is that midle broadhead I like it

[Zmonster]

Ttt

Good thread.

[toehead]

Jake that is a Super 2, almost 2 inches wide.  they came out in the 80s or 90s.  I believe a guy from Mississippi was the originator.  Japanese steel blade on aluminum feral.  almost 2" wide.  Limited quantaties left but still avaialable per the unmentionable auction site.

Simmons intercepters are pretty awesome when it comes to penetration and big holes. I like the Hewitt jewel stik  and a razor edge guide for getting them spooky sharp.  There's a good you tube video on how tosharpen them with this system . I've used a wheel before, but I like this system better. Good luck
