1-1/8" single bevel is not what I'm looking for. Like about 95% of us, I'm hunting whitetail, not large tough game that requires max penetration. If penetration is an issue for anyone hunting whitetail, you've got bigger problems than broadhead selection.

Never heard of these before. 1-1/2" cut main blade with 1-1/8" bleeder would be NASTY.Originally posted by Phorizt View PostLeave a comment:

I'm testing out some of the Variable Blade System broadheads from Vector Custom Shop. I'm shooting the 1 1/4" 150gr version w 7/8" bleaders but they also have a 1.5" version. I'm not real fond of the steeper blade angles on the 1.5" version though but that's just my personal preference.

I’m liking them so far! The come decently sharp out of the package but I used a stay sharp jig and it worked well. They fly good and are quiet. I’m interested to see how they do on a deer.Leave a comment:

I’m shooting the alien Matrix 150 gr single bevel out of my compound set up this year. I got them shaving sharp. Also got the 175 gr single bevels for the recurve shaving sharp. Those are a different model of alien and not as wide thoughLeave a comment:

I dig the Simmons, I’ve had great success with them on two different trips to Africa and they have worked great for me on NA game as well. The cut is nothing short of devastating and they have resulted in a lot of short tracks over the years.

I'm cheap. I can't pay $30/head, especially when the GS version of SF is said to be of lesser quality.Originally posted by dphillips62 View PostLeave a comment:

The Ace would be a contender, but I want a screw in. I guess I forgot to mention that part.Originally posted by Trumpkin View PostThat's not a wide two blade!
OP, Simmons heads are nice, but a pain to sharpen, and keep sharp. The RC is too low, and they dull easily in the quiver.
Regarding other options, you can get a 1 3/8" Zwickey Delta, or 1 7/16" Ace Super Express
Also worth considering the Magnus Black Hornet 4 blade. It's a mean head, and it will cut a big hole for a good price.
Or... you could switch to a three blade like VPA.
Personally, I prefer 3 and 4 blade heads. And I love the IW wides because they get scary sharp, and STAY scary sharp. All the cheaper heads I've used require touch ups frequently.
I like the black hornet, shoot them out of my compound.
I don't mind sharpening heads that lose their edge after a few shots, so that's not an issue for me, as long as I can sharpen them. That's why I'm leery about Simmons. After looking at the Alien archery stuff a bit more, the price is higher than I want to go, but it is a 6 pack, and the blade shape is similar to IW, though the steel is not. Maybe they are an option.Leave a comment:
