I think they are great heads, and easy to sharpen. Do a search
Lots of great info available.

Best thing since sliced bread! I have shot all of them except the tiger shark. Awesome flight. Even the tree shark, which just amazes me. I shoot the interceptor more than anything and absolutely love them.

A friend showed me pictures of a doe he took from a tree stand with one out of his black widow recurve. The exit whole looked like it was made by a hatchet! The doe went 20 yards and the blood trail was like a highway.I was impressed

I run the tiger sharks as well.... There's a tutorial on y**t**e by Chris Spikes that walks you through the sharpening process.

I just picked up a bunch of land sharks for next fall. Rada wheelie seems to work great on them

I've sharpened tree, land and safari sharks. I used a belt sander to get rid of excess metal, then used a 6" file to finish. The file has no teeth on the sides to interfere with the inside curve. Theyre just like a razor. Ask Mudd about them.

I switched to the interceptors last year and shot 4 whitails with them. The results were impressive 2 died in sight one about 15ft from my stand after a double lung shot and the carnage left by the two that made it out of sight was impressive, a blind person could have found them. They are fairly easy to sharpen with a round chainsaw file and a round steel to finish them up.

I made the switch and was a little skeptical about all the claims of such awesome bolood trails... esp from a two blade head. I was flat out WRONG. Nuff said. Landshark and inteceptors here but I am thinking about giving the tree shark a shot.

Last two deer I've taken were with the Tiger Shark. Both were dead within seconds. I like them! Plus big Dave is a heckuva nice guy!

I love the Shark broadheads. I've gotten four deer with them so far, three died in sight. I've used the Tree Shark and Tiger Shark.
I doubt I'll use anything else

Do a search of the post on broadhead wound pics. Not sure of the exact post but there are lots of Simmons pictures on there. I like the Interceptor, and Safari head best out of that weight. Of course I've been known to shoot the tree sharks and tigersharks as well. You can't go wrong.I can't imagine ever shooting anything else.
