Roger,
Forget the Magnus and do like Ron has and go with the Treeshark..... I am !!! I ordered me three to try last week. I have always shot 3 blades, but cannot quit looking at them pics of Ron with that bad ole Treeshark. Simply Wicked Looking ! We will see what they will do to a TN whitetail this fall !

Nice looking stuff there Ron!!  My wife was sitting next to me talking when I clicked on this thread she looked at the title and said "oh brother how much is this one going to cost you?"  I said "not to much unless you are going to let me order the new Samurai I want to go with it."  She said "not a chance you bought 3 Shrews already this year."  But on the up side there is always next year!!

Ron,
It's nice to see you are carrying arrows from Paul Jalon. You can't go wrong with Paul's arrows. I have been shooting his tapered cedars for the last couple of years. Paul is the best arrowmaker I have found. No need to look anywhere else.  :thumbsup:

NoCams - Those Tree Sharks look like an evil head, for sure! No argument there.

I have drifted away from the Magnus I heads a couple of time, but I always come back though. "Flying Cleavers" Ray Lyon called them.

Roger,
Just got back from Flint, MI biz trip, how far was I from You and Ron ??? Wished I had an extra day to hang out with you guys.

Anyway, when I got in I had a UPS from Simmons and I gotta tell ya, when you hold a Treeshark in your hand...... !!! "Flying Butcher Knives of Death " Again, I never have liked a two blade, but these things are awesome looking. I also bought two of the wheelie sharpeners and right leg is already clean shaven !!! That has got to be the best sharpener ever invented ! And it cost a whole $7 !!!

I am going to hunt with both TreeSharks and Wensel Woodsman and see which head I like the best. My 11 yr old will shoot Phantoms and WW out of his 40lb bow and see what works for him. I like sharpening the WW too. The thing about it is I can get it sooooo sharp. Hair pops and flys across the room when they come off the file / stone/ leather. I have never gotten anything, knives included, as sharp as I can get a WW !

NoCams - you were about an hour away. Man...not much business in Flint anymore, good for you!

I was talking with Tim Fishell Sayurday at the GLLI, and he said the wheelie sharpener is the way to go. I have a hard time sharpening those curved edges, sounds like you got it whipped.

man I really want to try woods again but how do you figure out what spine,,, carbons is easy just keep adding weight up from till it flys good but woods are not so easy..

Ron,  what spine in those sitkas do you think would work for my set-up??

FF (fast flight) widow - 51@27  and I prefer a 28" arrow...for the record this bow shoots 28" CX 250's with 200gr points perfect)

 I had this 51# bow out yesterday and shot about 15 bare shaft woods up to 60# and everything was showing very weak spine.
