Title: VPA Terminator...and Bob Morrison
Post by: elkbreath on August 21, 2010, 12:52:00 AM
Just wanted to throw in some praise where its due.  Ordered some terminators from Bob, they got here real quick and he answered fast when I emailed a question, GREAT service.     :clapper:

The Terminators are AWESOME.  Anyone mulling this purchase over should pull the trigger, IMO. I'll give updates later during the season, the build quality is exceptional.  

But, the thing that impresses me most to this point is how easy they are to sharpen! Compared to anything else I've tried, and it seems like I try a new head or two every year, these are ridiculous.  Out of the box razor sharp in less than a minute and a half.  The factory established bevel is already close to sharp, and perfect for taking a diamond across two blades at a time with light pressure, then strop on some leather or cardboard.  VIOLA!  deadly sharp.   And they fly very well too, with no noise.  MY snuffers are deafening comparatively.  The tip is cut perfect, and they all spin true first time.  Love em.   I hope they do me as well on my elk tags this year as they have in the shop and back yard.  No joke, I could see this being the ultimate North American hunting head.  Anyway, I am thoroughly impressed to say the least!  My search may be over.  we'll see how dead they kill my elk this year.

  :pray:  

PS, they look like a ready to kill stealth bomber on the end of my arrows.  Make me shiver just thinking about em.

I agree, those Terminators are a wonderful broadhead!

I wouldn't hesitate to use them on anything with a heartbeat   :archer2:

Well I just received some non-vented Woodsman Elite 160 gn.  I am assuming they are the same head because I heard they were identical to the VPA Terms.  Made by VPA???
Anyway if they are the same then I agree with you Elk breath.  They are precicely ground and look fabulous.  I'm pretty psyched about them although this year is the year of the single bevel 160 gn Grizzly head for me and hopefully a nice shot on a Bull with them (dang those single bevels get rediculous sharp). Wouldnt hesitate to shoot the VPA/Elites one bit however.

Good service from Bob Morrison? If you looked up good service in the dictionary Bob's picture would be there.

Bob's not only a hell of a bowyer, businessman and hunter, he's a great guy as well.

Great guy, super bowyer, hunter, he is on the cutting edge of bow development - I agree with all that.   Just don't let him touch your computer.  He might break it!  :laughing:

You are correct in that VPA makes the "Woodsman Elite" however, there are some differances.. Primarily that the Terminator is a "solid" head without the vents in the blades.. A very "solid and quiet" design !!    :wavey:

Cool, thanks Gene.  I do have the NON-Vented Elites.  I think I remember reading your bear story too.    :thumbsup:

I will be shooting the 175gr Woodsman Elite this season. It seems to be a very solid BH and I think they fly better than my 150gr Snuffers. Either way, I hope to give some lethal feedback this year!   :thumbsup:    :D

you can't be wrong with this BH...shot in 300gr with a compound, they are accurate enough for grouping 3 arrows in a coin at 40 meters...easy to sharpen if you use the good way and rock solid whatever the situation...one of the best 3 blades BH I have tested...
