I've used 125-grain Ace Standards since 2004 and have yet to damage one. How do they hold up to bone? I regretably put one through an elk vertebrae. The tip wasn't even dubbed. A year later I put one through the knuckle that attaches the upper leg bone to the shoulder blade on the off side of a whitetail buck. Again, the tip wasn't even dubbed. I've put them through big game up to and including bull moose and they've always held up perfectly.
For strength and durability, I'd put them against any other glue-on head of the same grain weight.

I echo Jason's sediments.....plus they are easy enough to charpen.

Triple thick point, spot welded and copper brazed. It will stand up to most anything. The 160 gr is the thickest. :thumbsup: I've shot the Ace Express 165 for several years and have total confidence in it.
Bone is not what you want to hit, but the Ace Std is as up to the task as any.
-
Been shooting them for nearly eight years now. Can't say I've had the experience of connecting with one yet; but, for flight characteristics, durability, and ease of sharpening, I'd put them up against anything out there. Really like the 160's too!

The price is good also!!!

Priced right, easy to get sharp and tough as He--. Ace Standards are my favorite. Bob

Excellent head for all the reasons stated above. I've used them for the past several years, and although I've never killed anything bigger than whitetail with them, I have put the same 145 grain standard through three different deer. Only reason it didn't see a fourth is because I lost it shooting at squirrel!

Pretty much the best bang for the buck out there is for glue ons ... I dropped this hog with a 160 gn Ace , the arrow travelling through the heart and completely penetrating the off side scapula. After removing my arrow , a quick touch up with a file and she was good to go again ... repeating this on another hog a couple of hours later ....

I put Ace 160's on my heavier woods this year to max out around 730 grains. Easy to sharpen, tough to hurt, & 2-blade for max penetration.

I have shot the Ace 160 for several years,no problems at all and like others said,very easy to sharpen. Bob is great to deal with to boot.

Bob and Jan are top notch folks and I have shot the standards and now the big express for a long time. Never damaged one on a critter,easy to sharpen and fly great.

I have killed deer with the Ace Super Express 200gr. It is for sure a bad cat.
God Bless,

I have used the Ace Super Express on several deer. I think it is the best 2 blade head available. VERY easy to sharpen, and they make a hole like a hatchet wound.
-
I love 'em too. I do find that I have to work at it some to get it really sharp...but I'm sure it's user error. The factory burr is easy to take off and once I get them sharp look out!
-
The Ace Standard is one tough, old style head. Everythig else has already been said. :deadhorse:
-
The 160 Standards are as good as they get in a 2 bladed head!

:biglaugh:

This fall I put a 160 through the backbone of a bear into the off lung, retrieved it, remounted it on another woodie, touched it up and took a deer. One tough head.
-
Just to be another voice: love em and SOOOO easy to sharpen.
-
I have used them for many years now. If they were not a great head I would not carry them in my store. Bob and Jan are super people to work with and are a storehouse of info.
