There likely are numerous BH choices that will either meet and/or exceed your requirements.

The viable choices in just selecting one in and of itself is often the agonizing challenge. We have been blessed with many great choices.

What are your bow specs and your actual draw length?

What is the range of the total arrow wt which you desire?


What are to be the targeted game animals?


There are many TG members far more qualified than myself to better address your inquiry as they will be now more informed of your needs.

You may also wish to consider posting your inquiry within the Dark Continent forum.

All the best in fulfilling your quest..

There are so many great heads these days, it's fun shooting and testing them.  Should be no issue getting them from the states.  I like Ace, Snuffers, Delta heads.

Simmons Safari's for me too!

This is a bloodtrail from last weekend!
 

This is a buck I shot 2 years ago with a Safari, buck went 30 yards from the tree and fell over. They put big holes in animals!

Call or email Dave Oligee, the owner of Simmons.  He is a super nice guy, and I'm sure you guys can work something out.

My son shoot 160 grizzlys however he had trouble getting them razor sharp ar first until he purchased a carboard wheel and super-fine grinding wheel which he uses on his 6" bench grinder.  He now grindes a fine edge on his grizzly heads untilbhe gets a fine burr then he strops off that burr which he then ends up with a super fine, razor-sharp edge that kills cleanly and quickly.
