My buddy Nathan Killen uses them and likes them. I know he switched from VPA. They worked great on his ten point this year.

I've killed a couple of deer with them,and like them. I was using the 200 grain,and they were easy to mount and sharpened up nice too.

I have used them (200 GR.) I like them they tune well to my set up. They are pretty easy to keep sharp.

I have some of the original run at 190 grains, he was shooting for 175, but...  Have not had the opportunity to test them, may take one on LTR with my Snuffer heads and maybe a VPA.

Worked great on the one buck I killed with one.  Complete pass through shot with a selfbow.  They were easy to sharpen and all flew great with my setup.
The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

My experience with pigs, as well.  Correction: I was thinking of Snuffers.  These Grizzly heads should perform very well being similar in design to VPA, and other solid 3 blade heads.

Would you care to elaborate Jim? I would like to know what you didn't like about them. They've gone up in price some now,but when I got them they were $10 a head. I didn't see any down side to them,not saying you didn't see a down side to them,but just wondering what it was?

I wouldn't test an expensive head, all my Ribtek were $1-2 each, back in the day.

My pick of 3 blades, streamlined, stout and sharpen easily. I would like to find some more of them.

I have killed three hogs with them, using the 200 grain heads on heavy fir shafts. Upon close examination, the hogs seemed to be as dead as those I’ve killed with other heads. They are easy to sharpen and reasonably stout if you file down the needle point a bit. I find them easy to tune and like the fact you can get them in heavy weights.

Looking forward to making a dozen Red Balau arrows for my Kota longbow, haven't decided which heads I'll use; VPA 190-250, Grizzly Instinct 190, Woodsman 150's, Ribtek 190's.
