Just went to the Simmons page to check out the Treesharks again and noticed that they have a new broadhead out.

Has anyone used this head yet? It looks great. What do you guys think?

How does it differ from the Treesharks?

treeshark is a 2" wide head. This is basically a unvented tigershark. 1 9/16 i believe. 190 grains. A little smaller hole but equally as deadly.

I like the look of that a lot! Might have to pick up a pack since I've already destroyed 2 of the 3 Zwickeys I picked up to play around with.

Look great - wish they were an even 200 grains, not that those 10 grains are likely to matter.

I'm liking them a lot!  Dave must have named them after our swamp adventures down here in South Mississippi and the F.R.O.G Team.

I'll probably stick with my treesharks but it's a good looking head! I think they're 1 5/8" cut.

Looks like a Landshark without the vents.

My guess is it is a one piece head. I have a few Simmons heads and they spin true, so I would suspect these will too.
