Try a search for the Tree Sharks and you'll get a bunch of pics and discussion. Dave has some Simmons "Damage" shots on his website you might like also. I have Interseptors, Tree Sharks, and just yesterday got some 165 grain Landsharks. I talked to Dave (Simmons owner) a bit last week when I ordered the LandSharks. I was having some trouble getting them sharp as I like, even though I have the SteelMaster Sharpener. He knew right away my problem. I can now get any Simmons head shaving sharp in about 1 minute, out of the box. I was using too much pressure with the ceramic rods.
My advise is to get a few of each and shoot them, then use whichever you have the most confidence in. They are both excellent, proven heads.

yea i know the both will work im just sort of new to traditional and could use a good bloodtrail to follow to find my deer. i just was wonderin wich would prduce the best bloodtrail. i just saw a pack of ace2blades $20 for 6 and ive read good reviws. i just dont know how good of a bloodtrail is left by a 2 blade head

Just picked up some tree sharks, the were a pain to get to spin right but they fly great and will leave a killer hole!

If Stevie Wonder bowhunted he'd be shooting Tree Sharks. Lol!

Zwickeys and Magnus impress me how something that simple can work so well.

Been using 2 blade Zwickeys for years, strictly traditional.  My son had the fancy razor blade heads and I convinced him to try the Eskimo and that has been the only head he has used for about 5 years now. He uses a compound with all the bells and whistles.

I figure if it was good enough for Fred Bear its good enough for me.  Another thing is they are real easy to sharpen.

Can't comment on the Tree Sharks  as I have never used one.

I used Zwickey deltas for years with great results.Took me a bit to develope my style or sharpening method on them.My most memorable one was a 4by 3 mule deer buck that i shot between the ear and the antler that penetrated in the center of his brain and got about 1 yard.Granted some luck was involved as I was a very young iinexperianced hunter.However,alott of these new broadheads,with injector style blades I dont think would have preformed like that good ol hunk of solid steel did.They truely are some boneshattering heads though and really not too hard to get good and sharp either.Those newer "no mercy" sigle bevel one look good too.

P.S.I wish I knew how to post a picture of that buck,but it is an old photo and dont know how to do it.Also,all the Simmons broadheads just look awsome to me and dont see how you could go wrong with them,they cost more though.I really like the woodsman 3 blades too and they do a great job aswell.

Eskimo 4 blade from this year
 

[Jon Stewart]

Forgot to add that we both shot nice bucks this year using the eskimo, Me a 7 pt, wood arrow and a long bow and my son an 8 pt that he is getting mounted.  Both using the eskimo head.

Look at the pictures on page 1 and 2 of this thread for entry wounds from the Shark.

You've picked nearly the polar opposites of the 2 blade spectrum.

How heavy is your bow, how heavy are your arrows and what are you hunting?

Without knowing any more, I'd have to go with the Eskimo.

[$bowhunter$]

my bow is bout 50 pounds 32" arrow and ill be hunting deer/turkey. how good of blood trails do you get with the 2/4 blade eskimo and are the ace 2 blades any good. (sorry for the confusion im just trying to get oppinons on which is best)

[Cory Mattson]

There is no question that Sharks are the better heads and produce better blood trails. Not even close. Swickeys and good heads - Sharks are Great Heads.
No disrespect to all you guys who use swickeys - I know plenty of animals hit the ground using them - we have many hundreds of animals to back up where we stand on this.

The best bh of all time I think is a modified woodsman.

[$bowhunter$]

i was looking at the woodsman but i could find any info on blood trails left. only the shear penitration. they look good but i could use a good blood trail to follow. correct me if im wrong

[Stone Knife]

All Zwickey four blade kills, I have more but you get the idea.

By the way if you put one in the pocket your blood trail will be short and easy to follow no matter what head you choose.
