concave broadheads A POLL

[TURKEYFOOTGIRL]

Have you shot animals with a concave broadhead? I am curious what percentage of  trad  hunters have used these?

[TURKEYFOOTGIRL]

I have shot  my past fifteen big game animals with concave heads and have been impressed with the    wounds they leave and the amount of blood that hits the ground.  To me it seems a lot have people have never tried them and it really surprises me after seeing them perform.

Iv shot a fair few  foxes and a lot of rabbits with the tree sharks and I haven't lost a fox since I switched to them and iv never seen them go down so quick I'm a convert just got to get them threw some big game now

I took a doe with a Simmons Intercepter last year. Without a doubt the easiest blood trail I've ever followed.

Took two hogs with Simmons TreeSharks early this Fall.  What a blood trail!  Bled like a stuck pig    !!

Seriously, killing machines!

Started using Treesharks this year. Hopefully I'll get to comment on their performance real soon.

Shot a buck last year with a Centaur Big Game Head.

I am trying the Tigersharks this season. I have killed one deer so far. The bloodtrail was ok but not as good as some. She only went about 60 yds though.

[TURKEYFOOTGIRL]

Thanks for all the input guys. Hopefully we can get a bunch more
people to poll. Right now its about 50-50.

One 8 point buck and 2 hogs. No problems at all.

I used Howard Hills this yr for the first time, stinkers to sharpen, but after watching my doe pile up at 35 yrds on a dead run, im a believer.
I believe the key to any broadhead performance, is that it has be sharp.

The flight I get from the Simmons Interceptor is awesome, and so far the blood trails are incredible and very short.

I've killed deer and a turkey with Zwickey Deltas. It's about all I use anymore. Easy to sharpen, penetrate like crazy, make a big hole, stuff gets really dead.

[toddster]

Over the years like alot of us I have used a variety of broadheads, love zwickey, Ace and Hill's.  The other night I shot a Doe little further back than like too with a Simmons Landshark on my cedar arrow.  I was shocked at the blood splatter, she went by few saplings that looked as those some took a paint brush with blood and swiped it on there.  I had cut the liver in two and left one heck of a whole on each side.  search for some of the pics on deer and that is how it looked.  When I got home, I took my other heads off and now have all simmons.

how do you get them shaving sharp I've tried and failed.

I shot a doe Saturday with a Simmons Safari. Double lung hit.  The head stopped at the off shoulder resulting in no exit hole.  Pretty impressive and short blood trail considering only 1 hole. The tip curled a little indicating had I not hit the bone would have had plenty of power to blow thru the other side. Where she went down blood was sprayed in every direction for at least 15 feet.  She went about 70 yds from the shot, blood was pouring out at about 30 yds.

Grinch,

The easiest way I found to sharpen was using the Rada wheelie sharpener. About 10 to 15 strokes at an angle through the cutters.  Touch ups with a ceramic rod. The head shot through my doe came back to sharp same way after grinding the curl out of the tip.

[TURKEYFOOTGIRL]

I sharpen them with a jewel stick and a buck honemaster  which holds the angle. I use the method I learned from watching Landshark160. He has a video of how to sharpen them and they come out scary sharp.

[bruinman]

Look for Landshark 160's method in the how to section. It is what I use and I can get the Simmons scary sharp. Sometimes I am afraid to be in the same room with them.
