Are they a solid one piece or is the screw in adaptor glued in?

Also how sharp are they from the pack? Do they take much work to get up to razor sharp?

Need just a little touch up.  I hit mine with a fine diamond stone and stropped....just a few minutes on each head and they're scary sharp!  Heck of a head these guys have!

You could hunt with them right out of the pack, Not shaving sharp but sharp. I did take one head over a diamond stone 5 strokes per side and they were popping hair and skin at that point. They spin perfect and are very tough. I shot and hit  flat rock on a hillside, it went about 50' almost straight up and 50' down range, feathers all over the ground. BH showed no damage at all, It spun perfect and not bent at all. IMHO this is the perfect 3 blade Broadhead. We may offer it in Stainless Steel later.

The screw ons have the machined adapter...they are not a glue on after the fact. The glue ons accept the standard adapter and you can play with the weights...160's and 190's can range from their base weight all the way to 315gr. How's that for some heavy foc!!  :thumbsup:

Actually Dave, they do not have the private label on these as the manufacturer has allowed us to sell them too under the VPA Terminator brand...same broadhead, different name.

Title: Re: New 3 Blade on the Market!!
Post by: Lefty on September 02, 2009, 06:48:00 PM
So if I understand correctly, these are the very same broadhead as the new 3R woodsman, made by the very same company for both 3R and VPA only VPA is selling them for $5.00 cheaper and without the lifetime warranty?  Is that correct, or are there other diffences in the two heads?
Title: Re: New 3 Blade on the Market!!
Post by: Bob Morrison on September 02, 2009, 07:33:00 PM
The VPA Terminator looks more like the 300 Xtreem than a WW. Take a look, heavy weight, What everyone was wanting more weight more choices than just 300 gr.It has solid blades, it is one solid piece threaded to fit arrow inserts. Tanto tip which you can called somthing  different its still a tanto tip. The 300 Xtreem has been for sales for over the last 2 years.      (http://morrisonarchery.com/assets/images/BH300-Xstreem-proto.jpg)
Title: Re: New 3 Blade on the Market!!
Post by: manyletters on September 02, 2009, 07:53:00 PM
Lefty, VPA is the company that makes the solid broadhead...if I am correct, the WW vented is made by someone else.

Here are  some pics to look at for comparison, first the VPA terminator

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v197/manyletters/VPA-Screw-on.jpg)

And second, the 300 Xtreme

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v197/manyletters/3blade.jpg)

Same basic design but the VPA comes in a variety of weights...the design is pretty much the same just made out of different materials.

Regarding the warranty...it would be addressed on a case by case basis, etc. by VPA!!

There are a few available, I don't have any. If you want any I'll have to make a couple calls. In the mean time a VPA 200 Terminator with a 100 brass insert will work. Might try to get a 300 terminator upto 300 gr????

I said earlier that I'd get back with a critique after I had an opportunity to look over a couple of the new Terminators, so here goes:  First, I am VERY impressed.  The words SOLID and aerodynamic immediately come to mind.  Plus, they are easy to sharpen (a key selling point for me)and also sharp looking:^) All I had to do was drag the heads backward a few times on my little DMT credit card size diamond hone.  At that point they peeled the hair off my forearm!  Mounting on my Axis N-Fused 340s produced perfect alignment; they spin like a top.  I just test shot my first Terminator tipped arrow at various distances and it flew true and silent.  The broadhead's tip comes beveled so curling should not be an issue.  These new heads are definitely keepers.  Let me see if I can post a photo.

Bob (or others!),

I shot clean through three deer last year with WW weighted up to 250g (47#@29" Cheyenne).

I am interested in the 250 grain heads, but wonder whether 1 1/8" or 1 1/4" would be a smarter choice at that poundage.  Any thoughts??  Love the idea of the biggest hole I can put ALL the way through!

They have put me at a loss for words.    :eek:    :help:    
Killdeer   :thumbsup:

Got 3 of the 200 grain screw ins from 3rivers.

EASY to sharpen.  Had them all shaving within 20 minutes.

NEVER could do that with snuffers.

The 200 VPA terminator is the same as the 200gr WW elite, available on the 3rivers website.

Mine look like awesome heads.

According the 3rivers website the WW elite is 1" wide, the VPA is listed here as 1 1/18 in the 200 gr screw in.

So I ask the retailers is it the SAME head or not?

The extra width, 200gr and one piece screw in was the selling point for me over the WW. Hopefully I will receive mine from Bob shortly and try them out on some piggies.

Thanks James, 3 rivers need to change there site, the woodsman site you linked does say 1 1/18. So the only difference is for $5 per 3 pack more you get a lifetime guarantee from 3 rivers?

I saw these heads for the first time this weekend up in Erie, PA.  All I can say is WOW.  I may be trying them out on some hogs next year.

Good going, James..

What kind of penetration did you get ?
Title: Re: New 3 Blade on the Market!!
Post by: James Wrenn on September 16, 2009, 05:47:00 AM
Pat the arrow never slowed down.Just blew through and stuck in the dirt like it usually does from my bows.The deer hardly reacted at the shot and never knew he was dead untill he took the last nap.  ;)  I love it when they never leave sight after the shot.

Very nice James, congrats. How did the broadhead edge hold up?
Title: Re: New 3 Blade on the Market!!
Post by: James Wrenn on September 16, 2009, 09:54:00 AM
It was still sharp enough to cut a rubber band easy.I could have used it just like it was when I pulled it out of the ground.They are good broadheads.

QuoteThe deer hardly reacted at the shot and never knew he was dead untill he took the last nap.  I love it when they never leave sight after the shot.  
I believe a lot of that has to do with penetration.  If you can put an arrow  completely  through an animal, it's been my experience the results are much more favorable as far as distance and recovery.  Always felt that's why the Woodsman was tops, good penetration and a good drain hole.  Got two weeks before I can give'm a run myself.....

Nice work James!

James, that is a Ruby Creek trophy where I hunt! How did you sharpen the head? Are you still shooting the Treesharks or have you switched for good? How do you compare the 2?
Title: Re: New 3 Blade on the Market!!
Post by: James Wrenn on September 16, 2009, 06:30:00 PM
I shoot several heads.Running low on treesharks so am saving them for hogs and special places.I have always used the Woodsman heads too so this is just a welcome upgrade for me.For 3 blades I will stick with these but I still like the big two blades at times.Nothing drips like a hog shot with the treeshark from my weight bows.  :)

Great job james...I haven't had a chance to let the air out of one yet...it has been 85F here for a week and the animals are hiding but I have a 250gr VPA Terminator razor sharp and waiting!!

Got mine while I was gone and just got to play with them.  I will be needing three more 190's.

Dang,  I already OWN a bunch of broadheads.  These look really good.

Excellent job on that buck, James.

I take it those are some kind of carbon shafts to get that weight?

Love seeing light bows doing this kind of work.

thanks
Title: Re: New 3 Blade on the Market!!
Post by: James Wrenn on September 22, 2009, 07:02:00 PM
Yeah I mostly use carbon Steve.I pretty much shoot wood only at 3ds that require it and hunt with carbon.

I do have some bamboo arrows made up for a selfbow I plan on hunting with some that come out about the same weight.Got a special stand in an old cottonwood tree just for it and waiting on the right wind now.Still might wind up shooting carbons however.   :D

I picked up some 200 and 250 gr from Dennis last week at camp. So far they have been easy to sharpen , spin true and fly great. {I even hit a small branch at almost 20 yards}.LOL The Muley still lives.
A 250 let the air out of a Coyote the other night , but that head is lost somewhere in a nasty thicket after whizing thru him.

With luck they will taste moose or deer in the near future.
I like them a lot.

Talking with VPA this morning and the 250  1 1/4" I have all there is for this year and they are marked as a proto type head. After fulling the orders for them I only have 3 pks. left and that is all for this year and the MSRP will be higher also. On all the VPA broadheads, Thanks ?

I went back and found the arrow burried in the dirt.It is  still hunting sharp and ready for more shooting this weekend. With luck the moose will be calling.

I broke a good bit of the tip off a 200 grain screw on this weekend. Missed my target at 25 yards and it stuck in a half rotten log. Worked it back and forth and when it came loose the top 1/6 to 1/4 inch was broken off.

I still like these heads and they're pretty easy to sharpen with a file and a diamond stone but I was surprised it broke.
