Experiences with simmons broadheads on medium draw weight bows

With that current weight your fine and as you move up to the 600gr that will be a even deadlier combo.

I have shot 3 deer to date with the Tirgershark 175 and all three were glancing shot, not my intent but with skittish deer you never know what happens at the shot.

The point is even with these marginal shots the results were outstanding blood trails and dead deer!

1st doe

Natural ground blind quartering away shot from right to left, 12 yards turned in towards me at the shot resulting in a low shot slicing open her paunch.
 

South MS Bowhunter, thank you for sharing your experiences. You are right, you never know what can happen. Regarding the "gutted doe", my father told of a similar episode on a hog, but he was using a rifle. I never though it could happen with an arrow o.O
Thanks again for sharing in such detail and for the pictures!

Killed my first deer last year with my Martin hunter 50#@28" Trad only carbons 300 spine with the safari 205 grain. 15 yard **** while walking cut clean threw one rib, hit one lung very well nicked other lung and stopped in opposite shoulder. Great blood trail and deer only went 60-80 yards. Was dead in less than a minute.
Trouble for me was sharpening, ended up getting the sharpening system from Simmons and was shaving hair in no time.

55 @ 29 is strong in my book…With that poundage and draw length you can shoot any broadhead you want and performance won't be an issue….

Hit one similar to RC's last picture, except the arrow angled forward and exited thru the arm pit. Tigershark tipped 514gr arrow out of a Kanati I draw a little less than 40#s on.

But then again, my set-up might be a little light to be considered a medium draw weight.

Great examples, if that isn't convincing I will try to get another member to post his pics from I deer I saw that were taken with simmon broad head.

LOL, I'm convinced  :D

Simmons are my next broadheads

I have been using treesharks on whitetails the last few years. I shoot 47# @ 27. The only thing is cleaning the dirt off them after the passthrus.

I'm thinking about getting some Simmons Tiger Sharks. I was wondering if I need the bleeders or if they are just as good or better without them?

Any suggestions?

I asked Jerry Simmons a long time ago about bleeders. He told me he had never lost a deer because of bleeders or lack of. I feel about the same.RC
