Darren 200 grainers are wide, called Ace Express. Bob the owner is a friend of mine. I have killed everything from coyotes to elk with my Ace standards which weigh 160gr. They are bombproof!
Prices are good, too. I can having sharp fast in a few minutes. Search "Ace Kill Thread" on here. Lots of good pics there. Good luck!

Ace are awesome heads. Extremely easy to sharpen and tough as nails. They will also cater to special orders....single bevel for example.
I wish they made a 4 blade version of the Standards.

I really like the 160 grain Ace Standard. "Wapiti792" is dead on about the Ace head being bomb proof. If you want a wider head, the Ace Express should do the trick, but I have never personally shot them. Good luck with your quest.

I shot the Ace Express this spring for hog in Texas. Put one through a big boar, complete penetration. Head looked brand new and still shaving sharp afterwards. No tip curl either. Found them simple to sharpen and they do get razor sharp quickly. Only issue I had was getting mounted on long broadhead adaptor perfectly straight. Took multiple tries with each head but I did get them to spin perfect.

Thanks guys ! Guess I need to decide which weight I want to go with. Shooting benman centershot 400 right now. Don't know what weight adapter to get either. Guess I can get different weights and see which one flys the best .

DW, I just purchased some 200s maybe a month ago and posted on them. Will use them this year to hunt with. Sharpen fast and are huge, what's not to like about that!

The 200 gr Ace is the Super Express. It is big, tough and like all Ace, good steel. The Express is 165 gr and has straight edges; all other Ace have Convex shape. The 165 Express is on my all time favorites list.

I am with Fletcher on this. I like ALL the Ace Heads. But that 165 is my favorite. I have taken most of my animals with that head. Hard to beat. Great people Bob and Jan.

As said before the ACE broad heads are tough.

As said before they are cost effective. I do not like shooting an expensive broad head, that gives me target panic when I am afraid to loose them.

In my 60 years of bowhunting I've tried just about every broadhead that came down the pike. I've been using the Ace Super Express for a number of years and I see no need to use anything else. This head does it all for me.

I have killed a bunch of deer with Ace heads, that pic Ron shows is one of them (I think). Quality is perfect, and they are easier to sharpen than any other head for me. Also....great history behind them.
