VPA Terminators are awesome
« on: July 17, 2011, 09:04:00 PM »
Been trying different broadheads and put my VPA heads on again. Man they are like a guidance control section on an air to air missle!

My flight improved, my groups improved. That's it, 1st arrow out of the quiver opening morning is going to have a 175 grain Terminator on it!

Then there is the incredible strength and sharpening ease. It's a no brainer. Fine product!  :clapper:

I picked up a half dozen 200gr and will be trying them this fall also.

    They sharpen easy and look like they will fly well, haven't shot any yet.

I have no doubt that if not lost a VPA will last a few lifetimes.

rayzor-vpa.com has everything in stock other than 150 gr 2 blades.  Tradgang members get free shipping in the US on broadheads.  Use coupon code:tradgang at checkout.  Customers outside the  will have to email as the webstore won't accept orders outside the US.

That's great to know about the free shipping!  

I've got a few different heads that I carry but the VPA Terminators are definitely a favorite and really seem like the best and logical choice: 1)They're easy to sharpen, 2)They're tough and durable, 3)They come in a great variety of weights, 4)They spin true and fly great, 5)They penetrate well and leave a big hole, 6)They can easily be sharpened in the field with a small flat stone carried in the pocket.
Chasing my kids and my degree for now but come next fall the critters better look out.  ;)

"They can easily be sharpened in the field with a small flat stone carried in the pocket."   Very true, I made a believer out of my son-in-law the other day.  He shoots replacable blade heads out of his compound.  I took a 250 gr Terminator from the package and - using only a coarse stone, put a hair popping edge on the head in very little time. I could have worked it on smoother stones to refine the edges more but it wasn't really necessary to make my point.  With a little practice they're quite easy to sharpen and maintain.

Lee -- Now that I have both makes, I would say that I prefer the VPA 2 blade Penetrators. I won't go into all the reasons, because I don't like to sound like I am putting down any product from one of our outstanding sponsors. Let's just say that the Penetrators look like they may be the strongest 2 blade head on the market, which is great, but may only be crucial on really tough game. However, hitting the ball joint of a deer is a tough spot for a broadhead, and I would like for the head to hold up under that situation too. On a broadside lung shot, just about any broadhead is adequate on a deer or other relatively small animal. Even hogs can tear up inferior broadheads though!

I'm with you Gary.  I carry the little course stone that clamps into the KME knife system in my pocket when hunting and it works great on the "rare" occasion I miss.   :D     I won't discuss how many times I've used it.   :rolleyes:

I'm waiting on a three pack of 175s from a trade. Can't wait to shoot and sharpen them.
