Love em! I have the 200 gr. ones and love how easy they sharpen. Easiest BH to get shaving sharp I've ever had. They fly great and have penetrated very well for me on the game I've taken with them.

Took this doe last year..1st trad deer.
In the pic of the hole, I'm not stretching the wound at all..just laying my hand there.

I really like the head. Once I learned HOW to sharpen a 3 blade, I find it to be the easiest head to sharpen I've ever used.

If you're unsure how to sharpen a 3 blade I'll be happy to email you a pdf I received from Ron Swartz ( Mr. KME ) that REALLY helped me out. Just PM me your email.

I would have some great footage of a 200 grain Terminator double lunging a bear at 10 yards but my "cameraman" ran the battery dead on his cell phone texting his girlfriend...the bear headed out on a dead run after the hit and still went less than a hundred yards

I have killed a number of deer with them and a bear at Stickflingers.  I get great flight and find them easy to sharpen on my KME stones.  They are about all I shoot anymore.

They're awesome heads. All I've used for the past few years, 3 blade 200 grain. Great penetration and durability is unmatched.

Here are some shots (clic on pic) in Zimbabwe unfenced/ lowfenced area waterholes with VPA  3 blades broadheads 300 gr.
On most of the critters shot are done in more quatering toward position over 20 yards( sometimes camera angle don' t show it as it was not in line with me) and some people may consider it as a bad shot angle too far away.
i agree with it but when you travel so far with so many hassles to bowhunt like in Zimbabwe, you have to take it or leave it.
On the eland i must admit i was a bit shaky on the last evening of trip on a huge trophy (ranking #7 SCI surrounded only by compound bow or crossbow shots, so #1 with a bow     :D    ,  although i really don't care records) , arrow broke scapulohuméral joint, penetrating only 10 to 15" in right upper lung part. Fortunately it bedded 100 yards away and could allow sneaking,a second back up shot and then a third imediately after.
On wildebeest angle Is more steep quatering toward, arrow broke the bone and got both lung.
La critique est aisée mais l'art est difficile.

I killed a black bear in 2011 in Alberta with a 160 grain glue on and the bear took 2 jumps and was down. It left an awesome hole, sorry no pics of the hole.
