Well I am deer hunting with a 40lb bow this year.I dropped bow weight some but am not dropping my treesharks.  :)  I will use the smaller tigersharks out of my heavier 41 lb bow for hogs but do think I would still be fine with the treeshark but got more tigersharks.  ;)
....Quality deer management means shooting them before they get tough....

Mike, that's my 52" Shrew Classic Hunter, it's really handy in that blind.

So how hard are these things to sharpen?  I was on the same boat as someone else around here saying they were looking at the Wensels, but after seeing this head and seeing the weight i need I am very interested.  How do they sharpen.  Can you do it with a file or do you need to know how to work the wheel thingy?  
RON if you can elaborate on this a little Im sure if they turn out to be easy to sharpen Ill be in contact on getting some very soon.

Here is a link to a previous article where JC explains sharpening the heads with the Simmons washer sharpener. I have used a razor rake to sharpen mine and it was easy.

Dustin, a half round file or the Wheelie sharpener work fine. Here they are at the bottom of the page.

While I love these broadheads, you might want to keep a few arrows with smaller broadheads in your quiver if it is windy up there. I don't know how these things would be in a cross breeze  :scared:

I saw those heads today, and shot it too. It looks like a harpoon getting a toss down. They were awsome. Thanks again Dean for letting me shoot those new toys of yours. It reminds me of what I am missing, but as you heard and saw of my hand you can see why I like to take the easy road lately. Those heads are huge though!

Beachbowhunter,  I have not had a problem with any of the sharks planing in a cross breeze.  Just make sure your bow/broadhead combo is tuned correctly.

I second everything Beachbowhunter said above. Winds up north can be much more of an issue than in Ohio... not that it isn't windy in Ohio.  ;)

Ted, they come in @ 190 right out of the package as a screw in head. Actually, they are much closer to 200 and a bit over with the bleeder installed.

Justin, the camo shaft is the Carbon Express Terminator hunter, now sadly discontinued...but I have a fairly decent supply. Toughest shaft I've ever used.

I haven't had any issue with them planing, but Beachy does offer excellent advice. Good luck on the caribou.

One thing to remember, the screw in head is technically a "barbed" head and is outlawed in many areas. If you look at mine and Ron's pictures, you can see the differences between the glue/screw in. In those areas where you might run into such issues, I'd recommend the glue on with an insert.
