Simmons broadheads
« on: April 11, 2007, 02:02:00 AM »
Anybody out there using these, and feedback please if you do.  Been reading posts on here and it's been making me want some!  I like the looks of the Interceptors and the Tree Shark, but worry about arrow flight with the big one.  Comments or ideas?

I have been using the 125 grain Razor Sharks. I blew through the scap of a 250# deer at 17yds with a 55# recurve and 488grain arrow with one.
I just took a 600# hog at 15yds with a 49# longbow and a 430grain arrow, complete pass through.

Great heads!

I've shot the Big Tree Sharks and they flew fine for me.

I have been using the 150 grain glue on Tiger Sharks (unvented) and really like them. They are a strong and durable broadhead. They do plenty of damage and sharpen up great for me. Took a javalina about a month ago with the tiger shark and no complaints whatsoever. I next time we go, I think I'm going to bring some Tree Sharks along and see what happens.   :eek:    :scared:

The big Tree Sharks fly as well as any smaller head I've used.

Do a search Mark, you'll find at least 5-6 recent threads with lots of feedback.

I've used the 190 gr. Interceptor for many years.  Great head, flies well and cuts a BIG hole.  Jerry originally invented his heads and other equipment to improve his own hunting.  Friends and hunting companions eventually talked him into marketing many of those items.  I've known Jerry for many years and must say that he's the best whitetail woodsman I've ever shared a camp with!

I've taken whitetails with the 190 gr. interceptor, they leave a good blood trail, and fly very well. and are easy to sharpen.jonesy
