I've tried a lot of broadheads over the years.  VPA's are, in my opinion, the best head on the market.  As durable a head as you'll ever find and super easy to sharpen.

Don't forget they all spin perfectly true. I have two packs of them and they all spin absolutely perfect.

The 200 grain razor sharp three blade VPA saved my bacon on this speed goat. Turned a marginal shot into a death run

Someone tell me about the virtues of the 150 grain 2 blade heads. I just received some and was kinda surprised at how short they were. Kinda cute actually. The width seemed good at about 1 1/8", so I guess the length should not matter? Got the straight edges pretty sharp with the KME, but what should I use on the tanto tips? I noticed on the website the new ones seemed vented? did I get an older model head?

Leslie,
We make a vented and a non-vented 150gr. 2 blade. The vented is made from the 175gr. blank. You got the non-vented and it is still a current production model. The guys in Australia thought it was short too until they found out it blew through even water buffalo and now we have a hard time keeping them in stock! The tanto tip can either be touched up with a file or a flat stone, but you shouldn't have to do anything with it unless you split a rock with it.

Thanks Boomerang! They are in my slim Jim right now waiting until October 1st. What would be the pros and cons of vented vs. non-vented

The pros of the non-vented are they are silent in flight, are stronger and hair and bone can't get cought up in the vents. The pros of the vented is they can be a little more forgiving if you don't have your arrows tuned to your bow as well.
Send some pictures if you get one!  :thumbsup:

Been a woodsman fan since they came out.  Having said that I will be shooting tree sharks this year.  The big ones.  Shot a turkey with one this spring and was amazed by the results.  Gonna run one through a deer for additional testing.  But if I dont like it I'll be back to woodsmans.
