I gotta take more pics!

Only Ace kill was with a 145 grain.  Perfect pass through.  Never found the arrow.  Mulie doe ran 40 yards without a blood trail.  Might not have been so slick if bones had been hit.

I got 3 this year with ACE standard 160s.  Longest trail was 70 yards and that was the heart shot. Heavy and short blood trails. Pass throughs and heads undamaged.  I can't figure out how to post pics.

Here's a few from the last couple of season's. Notice the coon only has three legs, didn't have a clue when I shot him. Love my Ace broadheads and once in a while some Pearson Deadheads when the mood strikes me.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Had to throw one picture in there from 16 years ago when I first discovered Ace and still had hair. All were shot with 52# except when I was younger. Back then I thought it took 70# to put an arrow thru a deer.

Hopefully these are all sized correctly.  Having trouble navigating Photobucket with my phone.    All these critters was killed with a Ace 160 with a 75gr insert.

So far this season I've killed a bear and a turkey with the Ace 200 grain Super Express broadheads. The pics have already been posted on this site somewhere.

These photos are of a doe I killed a few years ago with the 175 grain Super Express heads. Man, do they do some damage!

Pretty much everything I've killed since 2004 has been with 125-grain Ace Standards -- deer, elk, moose, hogs, turkeys. They've never let me down.

My favorite broadhead over the years has been Ribteks. Since they're getting harder to find I'm going to try some Ace Standards. Looks like they have a good following and have done the job pretty well over the years.

I have both a new laptop and new phone, so I don't still have the pictures from last year or the year before.  During that time I killed a coyote and two nice does with Ace 200s.  Beautiful, big, gaping cuts.  Fine blood trails on the coyote and one doe.  The other doe never ran.  Just took few steps, looked confused, and flopped.  All head were in fine shape after, and that's after clanging into our Ozark rocks following passthrough.  Fine heads.  I don't have them on my shafts right now, as I am trying the new Grizz (which did real well in a decent 8 pointer last evening.  He's aging in the fridge now.), but I'll put them back on with no hesitation if I break/lose/don't like these others.  Also, the Ace is AFFORDABLE!!

Boy's, several of you guys are DEADLY!  I really like them and have yet to put an ACE thru anything but a target but they sure sharpen really well and are plain tough.  I have been trying to get some 175 grain ones but they don't have any currently.  Be looking to put a 125 on some surewoods and 175 with a 42 grain adaptor on some GT Trads thru something this fall.  God Bless

I worked for ACE for a little while when I got out of college.  Some of the heads you guys are using may have been ones I made!  I like that!  They are great heads.
