Thanks for the pics and tests Gary

Ever since i put my hands on the VPA terminator iv been asking about a 2 Blade, Bill and I at zipper talked about it for a while.
Its great to see a broadhead that is flawless, The quality and strength is unmatched.
The design of this new 2 blade has everything i could think of for the ultimate 2 blade, from Whitetail to Elephant i have absolute confidence in it.

Iv just got back from our Buffalo season, i was shooting the 300gr 3 blade which now i have no doubt saying is the strongest head i have ever seen and shot, and iv played with just about everything out there. I killed 2 buff a big scrub bull and 6 hogs with the VPA 300gr

I shot them against all the big name 2 blade and single bevel 2 blades, and they out performed them all.

Ill be getting some of the 150s and some 250s for my 3 months back in SA at the end of the season.
There is more to the Hunt.. then the Horns

The head's not really that long Mike, and nothing close to a 3:1 ratio, but I have to say that it flies really well for me and hammers home with authority.  It's THICK throughout; I don't have a set of calipers so I'm not sure how heavy that tip is, but it's strong and never hinted at bending or curling after those shots.  The edge on the tip remained intact as well.  I wasn't sold on that wider tip until I slammed it through those obstacles and saw how it held up . . . couldn't believe how perfectly it spun afterwards!

My main "go to" heads have been the 250 gr. VPA Terminators Will, but these new 2 blades may be the ticket for guys who prefer a 2 blade or are looking for super durability.  I'm going to give them a shot at my quiver this year.

Great review as always. I will try these now over the abowyer.  They seem as durable and are cheaper.  I do so much wish they made a 300grain head in this.   Did I read in a previous post something about them making a 300 grain head, but it would be the same size as the 250 due to tooling costs?  I may just be dreaming. I have loved the bowyer heads.  How do these compare in size to the wapiti?
I like Spurs

Patrick,
Yes we have some 200gr. ready to ship.
Razor-vpa.com under our dealer page has some in stock. We just don't have "official" packaging yet.

Thanks,
Jeff

I would like to add I am a great fan of the VPA BH, they are strong like rock and I am crazy about them ...they fly like darts even with my destroyer (350fps IBO)... I have done a review about them :    clic

the SGT screw in are also very tough and I have got great results with the 100, 125 and 175gr one...only the 250gr have broken very quickly at the screw level...maybe they are too long for this screw diameter.
