woodsman elite broadhead vs Simmons tree shark

[Shedrock]

Nice RC, that sure proves the penetration of a 3 blade, and with a 47# bow.

I have both....they both fly GREAT for me. I believe the Woodsman Elites are easier for me to sharpen (I just use a flat file and in a couple minutes I can shave hair off my arm easily). The Simmons heads ( I have 190gr. Interceptor) do some MAJOR DAMAGE...do a search and you'll see there is plenty of pics or the Simmons' broadheads and the gash/bloodtrails they leave.

Of the two, the Woodsman is the much easier to sharpen broadhead.

I can't sharpen a concave broadhead. This is why I don't shoot Simmons broadheads or any concave broadhead.

I shot ww 150's and took four deer and all fell within 60yrds and blood was everywhere. This year I will have ww's in the quiver with some zwickeys and the new griz kodiaks to compare. My goal is to take a deer with each head.

Nite Wing I couldn't sharpen them either until I bought the sharpener Simmon's sells. Now I can put a razor edge on any 2 blade head quickly.LCH

Been shooting the WW since they have come out. LOVE the head. Last year, I decided to shoot Simmons. Few pix from last season.

These pictures show the WW buried just above the knee on the bucks back right leg. I shot him as he was trotting, took the liver, then angled back into the leg.

I was very impressed with the Simmons, but like others have stated it is more work to get "scary" sharp. I will keep shooting them, but my #1 head is the WW.

Simmons  for me over any of the regular vpa heads.   Have killed a lot of deer with both the 1 1/4 250vpa screw In also a great head.  But they are hard to find.  Prefer them and the big 3 over the normal vpas.    

Hey Friend.  Just out of curiosity what is the slash factor of the simmons 190 interceptor 1 9/16 with the bleeder at 1 1/8.  Thanks Will

If you by the tree shark purchase the sharpening
kit also or you may be disappointed.These heads can be sharpened in seconds with the sharperner.

I haven't shot the Simmons, but I have had great luck with my Woodsman Elites. I have always had good pass-through and a short blood trail.
