Simmons Glue On With Bleeder Blades
« on: March 23, 2008, 10:59:00 AM »
I really like the looks of the large cutting 4-Blade Tree Sharks, but I only use glue on. I'm curious if anyone knows why they don't make a 4-Blade glue on model (or am I overlooking it)?

Thanks

I never understood it myself. :)The slot for the bleeder is in front of here where the ferrel ends so it should not be a problem from the engineering standpoint.

James, James, James...... Bleeders.... ? Who needs bleeders with the pics you posted on the Treesharks ! I have always been a 3 blade guy and carry WW in my quiver, but after looking at your pics and others I am hunting with a Treeshark this year. I also was able get them sharp with the Simmons Wheelie. That was the other reason I would not fool with two blades, couldn't get them sharp enough, or if I could it took forever and a day.   :archer:

Yeah I don't really need the bleeders with my bows.If I shot bows over 50lbs it sure would be nice to have that extra inch of cut hwever.  ;)

You are far better off leaving the bleeder blades off.  They are thin, brittle, impede penetration, and tend to break off inside the animal (which will bring you untold joy when you rediscover them during field dressing).

In the last 15 years of hunting with a simmons broadhead I've never used a bleeder blade and never had a deer go over 50 yards and that was a bad hit (gut). Most have went down within 30 yards.
It's hard to go very far with that big hole in your side!  :archer:
