VPA two blades?

[Jayrod]

anyone have expierence on the two blade vpa heads as far as sharpening and reviews on them I am interested ..thxs

[L82HUNT]

I have used them and killed a few deer with them.  I sharpened them with med grit stone and paper wheel.   The bevel is very good and require little work to get them very sharp
  They are very very solid, only downside to me was how short they are made for a steep angle of attack.

Jerrod,

Contact "Whip" on Trad Gang, he shot his bison in ID last year with a two blade VPA and had great results.

thanks a bunch kris it seems like one heckuva head I might have to try!!

Great head, I've had zero complaints with them. Have only shot 2 deer with them and had 2 pass throughs with a short recovery. They sharpen up quick and keep a good edge. They are built like a tank. I think Guru posted a video of Cade shooting them a while back and he put one right in the wheelhouse and watched the deer fall if I'm not mistaken.

sounds good josh any input on sharpening??

Jerrod,  I recall that Andy Ivy had some real good comments on  them having used them on his hunts as did some of his safari clients.  He particularly said the shorter blades fared better than the longer ones and held up much better on the heavy boned  game.  I think that if you check in some of his threads you should be able to find it.  If not, drop him a line.  If I remember correctly, it was in POWOW but I might be mistaken.

I sharpen mine on a stone, similar to how I sharpen my knives. Been working well for me so far…  But, my friend uses a KME, his are way sharper than mine!       :D    

I'm wanting to try the KME but had a few questions.  Waiting on a return call…
 
I've got the 200gr and redesigned 300gr screw in two blades.

All my VPAs fly well for me and they are definitely tough!

The toughest head I've used, bar none.

Never shot game with them, but they fly well and certainly sharpen easily.

My sharpen easily with the kme broadhead jig. They get pretty darn sharp. They fly great as well. I have the 175 grain heads. One thing that really stood out to me is how well they hold an edge. The 3 blades are great as well but I can not get them quite as sharp as the 2 blades. They will easily shave no problem with the kme and then I finish them up with a piece of card board.

I know a few bowhunters that have used them and they all rate them very well. The biggest hurdle for me is price. A bit pricey to buy a lot of them and very cosltly on hunts that will result in a lot of shots/game taken.

If that hunt of a life time is near then why not splurdge out a get some. We are lucky we have a lot of options these days but I go through way too many arrows and BHs to use them.

THXS for all your input guys I appreciate it!

[jjwaldman]

Fabulous head.  I used my KME and they shave no problem.  The bevel is already nice, so it doesn't take as much work as other heads that I have tried (and bent).  I shot the same head through two deer and a turkey last year (the turkey went right through into dirt and rock.  It will be the first broadhead shot this year as well.

I killed a few deer and a couple coyotes with the 200gr and 300gr 2 blades last year.  Lovem.  I sharpen mine with a file.

Sent you a PM.

I am sure they are a great head my thing with them is that they have a 5/16" ferrule which does limit your shaft choices some.

James, What do you mean by this?

These heads are excellent just like everything else VPA has on the market!

Built like tank killers, sharpen easy(I use a file and jewel stick), and fly just like a field point.

And yes, Cade did use them last fall and drilled a doe with one that went down in site on video

Have a 250 grain one that has been thru 4 deer and 2 hogs. Still looks new. Great heads.
