The big bear I'm kneeling beside in my little avatar photo (3/4 mount) was taken with a 190 grain Interceptor. Jerry Simmons is an old friend and has showed me some unbelievable photos of massive bloodtrails and huge critters taken with his original designs! Did I mention those gigantic wound channels?? Wow.

I've shot 1 buck and a yearling doe with the Simmons 160 gr.
I used it as a 2 blade on the buck and used the bleeder blade on the doe. Which way do y'all get the best results ? They fly the best for me as a 2 blade.

I've got some 150 grain that I would love to send through a hog if I can ever find a place.

I have killed 13 deer with Simmons heads and a longbow I killed around 150 with a compound. It is the best head I have used. LCH

I just got a pack of 125g screw-in Landsharks in a trade and I am seriously thinking about using them this year. Ordering some 50g brass inserts to add some weight.
Do you guys prefer bleeder or no bleeder?

I have killed a lot of critters with my interceptors , just not very good at posting pics , but the buck in my avatar was dropped in his tracks in Georgia. I have several Africa pics on 3 rivers trophy pages but don't know how to move them over here . Great heads .

I don't use the bleeders. When I tried them I shot low. The holes I get are as big as the ones in the top photos or bigger. The more the angle of entrance or exit the bigger the hole. I have had holes over 6" with the landsharks. When the hole is that big the blood trails are continuous and a foot wide.LCH

How do you guys prefer to sharpen them? Jewel sticks as recommended? Accusharps?

I use the wheelie sharpener on mine. Makes pretty quick work of getting them sharp.

I'll try to post a few photos of some critters taken with 190 grain Interceptors. One is of my buddy Jerry Simmons himself kneeling with me and a "wet" bear I took one fall. Another photo shows Byron Ferguson and myself before he, Jerry, Fred Pape, and I began dragging the bruiser out of the bush. The final bear photo is of a pretty decent bear I took with a 190 gr.. The big bear in my avatar was also taken with a 190 gr. 2 blade Interceptor. I'm including a photo of a blood trail produced by a 2 blader and Douglas Fir shaft. If you look on the left side of the picture you can see my broken arrow. All-in-all, I have taken around 50 or so deer, bear, hogs, antelope, and eastern turkeys using 190 gr. Simmons Interceptors. They're TOUGH; I took 7 deer using the same head.

Thanks for the input on the bleeders.
Are there other good methods of sharpening these besides the wheelie thingy?
