Q's about ace broad heads?
« on: May 31, 2011, 09:04:00 PM »
Just curious is all, they look great and I was wondering about opinions on them, flight, ease of sharpening, etc.  I may be leaning towards the 125 gr, but the 160 is interesting as well.

The Ace line up is sure to offer something you'll love. Great steel, good quality control (means they'll mount and fly straight)long history, and a pile of game taken.

Shooting Ace 160's now & they're great. This combo is around 750 grains total which flies perfect with deep results usually complete passthroughs. Easy to sharpen to hair shaving sharp also.

I've been using the 125-grain Standards since 2004. I initially switched over to them for an elk hunt, but was so impressed with their durability, ease of mounting and sharpening, and excellent flight that I've stayed with them ever since. They've worked flawlessly for me on game animals from squirrels to moose.

I think the most wicked looked Ace broadhead is the straight edge Express 165 simply because I like a broadhead without a curve to the blade. Without a curve, they're very easy to sharpen.

The 160's mount straight, sharpen easily to a scary edge, fly great, and Bob and Jan are great peole to deal with as well.  Any Ace product is a good product.

I've been shooting the Ace 200's for quite a few years now and love them!  They make one wicked slice and fly perfect from every arrow material I used them on.

LONGWALKERS Love em Bob.Two bucks from 2009
 The BIG straight edge express is what I use. 165gns of big hole making fun right there buddy. Sharpen with a file,then strop, then trail em up. Mount and file true.
Bob and Jan are great folks besides. The Ace head has been around since 1927.

I've been thinking about these as well. Isn't the curved blade trickier to sharpen?

ACE been around many years that should tell you something.  They sharpen well and fly great.  I like the 160 and heavier heads.  :thumbsup:    :archer2:
