Tree Sharks- WOW!!!!
« on: July 18, 2007, 03:11:00 PM »
Just got a pack each of the screw in and glue on Tree Sharks and have to say they are wicked.They are also the easiest heads to get to spin true  Ive ever put on a shaft, didnt have to fiddle with them at all, stuck them on my Cedars and no matter which way I turned them they spun perfect, aluminums the same way, tried 6 different size shafts and they all spun perfect.
  I shot broadhead target 4 times in the basement at 10 yds. in the same place and they cut a hole big enough to stick your fist in, could ruin a 3-D target real quick with these, cant wait to try them on a deer, looks like they might replace my 160 gr. Snuffers....

Jeff, look up Simmons Archery, you can see pics there, they are a full 2 in. wide, make a 160 gr. Snuffer look small. If you cant find it Ill post pics later for comparison...

Ron,

Do they come in a 4 blade? What are your personal thoughts on the best or better broadheads? What do you personally use?

Thanks, Peter

The screw in come in either 2 or 4 blade...maybe James Wrenn will post pics again of the damage they do, looks like a meat cleaver was used instead of a broadhead.

Damn! I finally get settled on using Woodsmans and now I'm looking into 4 bladed Simmons heads! Anybody feel my pain?

Peter, I feel your pain. I too had settled on another broadhead until I shot the 190 grain intercepters. The fly like field points. Hopefully I will be able to put one thru a deer this year.

Once you learn to sharpen the Simmons heads, you can stop looking for the perfect broadhead.  Of course, I'm speaking of the 1 9/16" heads and larger.  

I don't believe in cutting a small hole.

Every single Simmons head I've ever screwed on my arrows spun perfectly true...I can't say that about ANY other broadhead.

I've usually got a 190 Interceptor with bleeder or Treeshark with bleeder in my quiver. Both cut an absolute canyon through an animal.

Here's a pic of the big Treeshark without the bleeder...looks like a meat cleaver!

Last year I lost a bird after making what I thought was a good hit with a 3 blade head. Using the Tree Shark this year it was a drop and flop.   :knothead:
