Molson, I have had the 125 grain Snuffer "give out" but I always figured the 160 was built sturdy enough to never do that.

I won't tell you this is typical but this is the exit of a 190 Grizzly,KME sharpened.The arrow broke the humerus on entry and the broadhead was sticking out of the skin where this hole was.The shaft had snapped off,just behind the broadhead but still it created this much damage.The antelope had run 40 yds-hard.

Thanks for the pictures everyone.
I have been a fan of a wide two edge for decades.
The hide must stretch just a bit, because the holes always exceed the width of the head.
Those Simmons heads are ones I have yet to try.

He filmed this hunt along with 7 others that season. Most on public land and all with treesharks. He shot an 8pt through the spine under him and the treeshark came out the brisket..on film.

[QB] A few more TreeShark victims. One thing to note is the absence of the "narrow slit" you are supposed to get with 2-blade heads. The TreeShark consistently produces sagging, football-shaped holes.

Anybody know if a tree shark will screw onto an AD trad hammerhead? Will the gap in blades fit over the collar?

A wide two blade will NOT let you down...but those Simmons "hatchets" OBVIOUSLY stretch the hide a bit as they pass thru.
If you lean close to the screen, you can smell the fresh meat.

Basically you break razor blades (the heavy kind used in box cutters) from nothing at one end of the edge to 3/8" at the other end.
Clean surface of the razor and the side of the broadhead blade with acetone. Coat with Plio-Bond contact cement. (you'll find as I did that this is THE adhesive to use)
Let the pieces dry and then put them together so leading end of the razor (small end) is below the broadhead edge and the wide end is above the edge about 1/8".
Clamp in place until glue is set.
Very effective and surprisingly tough.

Jack claimed that no animal shot in the body cavity with a razor equipped broadhead would be lost and claimed to have never lost an animal he shot in a long career of bowhunting.
I only had short and profuse blood trails but was impressed by the difference in nature/consistency of the blood produced by lung hits.
In the second picture the bubbly blood was standing a good 6" high above the wound when I first approached the animal... I'd never seen that before.

Sometimes I catch myself worrying about what others are going to say to me when I tell them I hunt..ie..'should I post this pic of my first trad deer on facebook?".
In the end, I did post it.
because deep down and through and through, I agree with RC.
Hunting is legal, I'm not going to criminalize it just to be PC.
I hunt, I kill, I eat.... That's me.
There are 1000's of others like me.
And as twisted as it sounds..there is WAAAAYY too much $$$$ spent ( and made) on hunting in this country for it to become illegal.
if we're going to worry about our hunting rights we should focus on being ethical. And not hide it.
I believe one thing we should worry about is gun rights.
That is where it will start....if it ever does.

She ran 5-6 yards and was done. If she ran farther a blind man could have followed the blood trail.

I assume you're using carbon..so you're looking at screw ins.
a 1 1/8 cut 3 blade head has 1 11/16" of blade cutting surface.
There have been lots of deer taken with them out of similar weight bows.
The wide sharks are either 1 9/16" or the really big one is 2"
If you have an average draw length you're most likely using a 175 grain or lighter head.
All of the sharks of that weight are 1 9/16" or less.
So I'd say if you have an average draw you'd be fine.

And this shot was quartering away and hit a branch about 10 foot Infront of the deer and deflected and grazed her back she ran about 40 yards and fell down. I went to her right away and she was still very much alive so to end the suffering I shot her again.

Shortly thereafter, we were watching an old kung fu movie. My friend commented on the ridiculous sound effects. I....at 50 years of age...jumped up to emulate my fellow martial artists (complete with sound effects). Jump Left...Jump Right...RIGHT onto the leaning broadhead.
The quiver was less than six inches from the arrow. Why I didn't replace the arrow, I do not know. But I DO know what I will do next time

Opening day in WI with a Grizzly 190, passthrough, and about a 50yd weak blood trail.
Just curious how many of those Simmons shots are passing through,maybe I will give them a try. For me thats huge, two medium size holes are better than one big IMHO. Maybe I am wrong. To each their own, what ever flies straight and gives you confidence. I switched from woodsmans to grizzlys and am not looking back.

That said, if you switched away from woodsmans to get better penetration you should probably stay away from the Simmons. I do know that Charlie Lamb swears broadhead sharpness will add pounds to your bow, if that makes sense. I tend to agree that razor sharp broadheads will penetrate far better than dull ones. All that to say, if you are confident in your sharpening skills(the grizzlies and woodsmans both razor sharp), and you still want the Grizzlies over the woodsmans, the Simmons may not suit you.

Nothing against the simmons, I just like the single bevel concept. That being said. Using a heavy bow 60+ and a 800+ arrow lets you use whatever you want. as long as its sharp. To your point about bones, I think both Grizzlys and the Simmons have the quality of steel to bust well. One I had a bad experience with is muzzy phatoms, it broke in half on a quarter in shot on a small doe. They come sharp as heck but they are so thin they dont hold well on certain shots.

Hybridbow Hunter, are those "Big Jim" bh a VPA? You compare them to a "regular" VPA. How much do they weight?
I shoot a heavy set up and arrow penetration had never been an issue.

It wasn't a pass through, but I hit the humerus and it glanced back into the rib cage. It clipped the back lobe off of both lungs. The blood trail was impressive! It made kind of a funny scraping noise when I hit her.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v612/30coupe/Deer%20hunting%202013/IMG_20131012_100627_zpsb9d9d303.jpg) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/30coupe/media/Deer%20hunting%202013/IMG_20131012_100627_zpsb9d9d303.jpg.html)
Notice the triceps muscle sliced off the bone. You can see the entry hole in the rib cage is back farther than I would have thought based on where the arrow hit. There was only one hole, but it was large and low, so the trail was bright red and pretty short.
I sharpen with a jewel stick and finish with a few strokes on a set of crock sticks. They are scary sharp! This is the first year I've used them. So far, I'm impressed.

Magnus Stinger 125g 4 blade, Easton axis trad with 3/4" aluminum footing, 150g brass insert for a total arrow weight of ~615g, shot from a Javaman Inferno 56", 51# @ my 28" draw. About 17yard pass thru.

We need to add some 2014 Kill pics to this. After reading all the way through, I have realized that there are more broadheads out there than a man will ever need.
I also feel that the simmons land sharks may be slight over kill. As a hunter, my first desire is to eat my prey(after killing of coarse). If you miss your spot and hit the front shoulder or spine the deer, you will lose a good bit of meat from what I saw in the pictures.
Anyone else feel the same way?

The cutting of tissue that results in a quick and as humane death as possible? This should be our goal and using a broad head that is effective in recovery is a win win situation :thumbsup:
Now some of the angle of the shot with those Simmons contributed to massive elongated holes, but again it is hard to anticipate the quick and unexpected moves of deer.

This was a small pig and the arrow went in sharp quartering away cutting 2 ribs, taking the heart going through the throat and logging in the lower jaw. I was using a 60" Centaur 51# and a total weight arrow of 776 grains.

I do agree that you want to find the deer, but indians at one time used stone points. I hope I didn't degrade the heads in any manner, as that was not my intent.
With the big holes you see from the Simmons heads it is all from a cut no different really then if the meat is cut while being butchered. It's not the same as a big hole with a rifle or shotgun. Believe me I shoot a larger caliber rifle (.300 win mag) with ballistic tips and my grandpa shoots an elephant gun for whitetails. There are times we do lose part of the shoulder meat or lower leg meat, That doesn't mean some meat with the simmons may not be lost or not I don't know yet but hope to find out this fall. It's always better though to lose even one hole shoulder of an animal and still recover the rest to eat than not recover the animal at all.
Thanks for the reply.

30Coupe - I am guessing with great certainty the leg is in a much different spot in the top pic than it was when the arrow struck giving the illusion of a "far forward" hit. Perfect shot BTW.
As far as blood in meat and salvaging what has been cut. If you soak the meat in a bowl of salt water over night it will be just fine. I even soak hearts that have been shot through and they are good to go and yummy the next day.

The bigger pig in the link above was shot with a Treeshark. “Oreo” was perfectly broadside and the gash didn't look any different than anything I've shot with a Magnus 1.

At 6:10 pm I took a shot at a quartering away doe shooting on her right side from 11 yards. At the shot she moved and my arrow appeared to hit her way back and in the ham about middle ways up, and with very little penetration.
She took off as shot out of a cannon, and I watched my arrow fall to the ground about 15 feet away from where she stood. Upon investigating the area I found found white belly hair and stomach materials, instead of brown hair from the hip.
I backed out for 3 hours and upon returning prepared for a long night of tracking. I set out to look for a gut shot deer that I originally would have said was hit in the ham.
After 50 yards of nothing but gut materials and no blood I find a pile of intestines, the large, small, and the colon all piled together :dunno:
(http://i795.photobucket.com/albums/yy235/jalmay5th/Bow%20season%202014/34c60317-7091-4acb-b6a8-658f838c8358.jpg) (http://s795.photobucket.com/user/jalmay5th/media/Bow%20season%202014/34c60317-7091-4acb-b6a8-658f838c8358.jpg.html)
From there I begin to fine small droplets of blood for the next 61 yards and a dead deer that stiff as a board from being dead for 3 hours.
In my case the Simmons Tiger shark had unzipped the lower paunch of the doe and totally disemboweled her by the first 50 yards.
(http://i795.photobucket.com/albums/yy235/jalmay5th/Bow%20season%202014/f1af8447-f483-4371-bd0b-9c5efa8f78dd.jpg) (http://s795.photobucket.com/user/jalmay5th/media/Bow%20season%202014/f1af8447-f483-4371-bd0b-9c5efa8f78dd.jpg.html)
That's why I was able to get a deer that otherwise would have gotten a close shave and a lesson in survival. The Simmons turn a bad shot into tenderloins.

When you see guys shoot deer in that kinda high shoulder shot n they drop in there tracks. It's because they hit the spine. Most hunters don't realize how low the spine is above the lungs and shoulders..

You can't really see exit wound, but you can tell by the amount of blood that it is quite devastating. First blood was immediate and he made it about 50 yards.

Must not have been much of an angle.
That being said, if you hit a deer where that hole is, no matter the angle, there is a great likelyhood that you will not find the deer. It would most likely be no lung, or a one lung hit, and even if the deer was to die, it could go a very long ways before that happened.

Compare the typical single bevel hole here:

To the typical double bevel hole of the same outside diameter broadhead specs (this was a proven name brand broadhead which shall go unamed but has been around for decades):
Entrance:

Are you playing where's Waldo? ...me too and you can bet the blood trail was a where's Waldo trip too. Single bevels offer a slight penetration advantage but they also open a bigger whole for recovery.
Of course they all kill just as humanely and all these animals died with so little pain that all not one of them stopped and began resuming activity before succumbing within seconds...that is a good feeling for any avid bowhunter!

I've used the popular 2 blades and 3 blade heads and they all gotten the job done, but the Simmons heads in my opinion have turned marginal shots into recovery. And for that alone they have become my favorite head at the moment.

One is on this page above and the other is posted on page 21.
The one on page 21 died from her paunch being unzipped and her bowels spilling out. I honestly thought when I came to track (left for 3 hours) that upon finding her gut pile that someone had stolen my deer!
The one above died from what appeared to me only a muscle wound, but the blood was a bright red showing possibly an artery was cut, although none was apparent.

Exited rib cage, hit off side leg bone, and broke the arrow. The broadhead and front half of arrow turned down and travelled along inside of leg bone, then exited the back of the leg below the elbow.

51# Pronghorn Longbow.
I think the 175 grain is a little shorter than the original Wensel Woodsman, but these broadheads shoot so good and sharpen really easy. They have always left a good blood trail.

I used to think file sharp w burr removal was good enough. In the last 7 years since using single bevels and getting them mirror smooth and super sharp I see the vast majority of my kills fall in sight.
I stand by my statements above. Carry on.

Can you explain why you added the serrations/dips along the blade edge? Thanks

Texas Whitetail doe vs 150 grain Grizzly single bevel.
I was just curious. I had seen variations of the design done by other guys/companies. There is a thought that it assists in "grabbing" and slicing more. I don't know if that's the case, but it sure worked well. I also have a Bonehead 1-1/4" head that I've done it to as well. Haven't ran it through anything yet, but I think I will prefer it over the narrower Cutthroat.

Gordon, not sure why you think your post would me removed, that's about as Trad as it gets Sir!
Also, that looks to be a bird point. Nice find!!!
Read an article once about a museum that had some bird points with blood still on them. They had it analyzed and it turned out to be deer blood. They may not leave the hole Simmons heads do, but they appear to have gotten the same results…dinner!
