I am getting ready to decide which head I will shoot for next fall. I want to get them soon and start shooting them every so often to see how they fly. I really see a lot of heads out there. With my arrow at 466 gr and 47# recurve I am leaning towards the 2 blade VPA penetrator , it looks solid. anyone care to share their experience with VPA heads, especially the 150 gr 2 blade?

Never shot the 2 blade. But I've shot the 3 blade 175's. They are bad news. I love them. Easy to sharpen. And fly great. You can't beat them. God bless.

Shot some 200gr VPA 2 blade thru hogs, the 150 is shorter but a tough head. Stuck in the dirt and heads where still pretty sharp.

they look tough. you guys just run them on a file to sharpen. i hear they are really easy to sharpen, and I like that!

I use the 175 grain 3-blade 1-1/8" cut & 250 grain 3-blade 1-1/4" cut and they are great broad heads. I have great confidence in VPA so the 2-blades I'm sure would be solid as well...

I use the 200 grain 3 blade and honing stone to sharpen them. I've never needed a file.

I shoot the 175s and love them

I shot a 2blade 250gr penetrator through a hog 2 weeks ago. They are sturdy. I bought a kme sharpener with the roller on it to use on a wet stone. Ibought it from 3river. Its one of the best ivestments Ive bought. It gets them so sharp we I check for sharpness shaving hair on my arm you can hear the blade slicing through the hair.

Shot my buck with a vpa 200 gr two blade. I can't sharpen two blades worth a damn other than single bevels so I switched to the vpa 3 blade 200s. These fly perfectly! And I just run them down a 12" file to sharpen which is almost idiot proof.

I shoot the 160 grain glue ons 3 blade. They are my favorite broadhead.

I love the 250 three blade. Deer and elk hate them.

VPAs fly even better than field tips!
I did replenish my stock of broadhead for the coming season!

I am a fan of the 300grs 3 blades

I don't have experiences with the 2 blade but my 3 blade Terminator 250 1-1/4" are very though almost indistructible,easy to sharpen. No hog is ever been lost with them and they shattered through all the bones in their way.
For your set up I would go with the 2 blade.

How do you recommend sharpening the 2 blades

ChuckC · « **Reply #14 on:** March 04, 2015, 10:33:00 AM »

Spend the money and buy a sharpening jig. Several on the market, one in particular (KME) is very adjustable. THEN, after getting it awesome sharp, buff it out on a cloth wheel ( drill or grinder based). O M G. . . just be careful.

KME for sharpening hard to beat.

VA Elite · « **Reply #16 on:** March 04, 2015, 02:54:00 PM »

katman, should I go 2 or 3 blade? 466 gr arrow from a 47# recurve

Cwilder · « **Reply #17 on:** March 04, 2015, 04:30:00 PM »

I use the 150 3 blades and love them. I just ordered some 175 3 blades also

drewsbow · « **Reply #18 on:** March 04, 2015, 06:55:00 PM »

love the three blade

katman · « **Reply #19 on:** March 04, 2015, 09:06:00 PM »

Either should work if SHARP and I would not go higher than the 1 1/8" 3 blade with your setup. The two blade will be easier to get 2 holes so if you hunt from high tree stands I would go with the 2 blade with 47# IMO. I shoot a little more poundage and agree with Drew, the three blades are very good. The whitetail in my avatar did not appreciate the 3 blade VPA.
