Thought you guys might want to see some Treeshark results shot from a Hill Country Cree. Keep in mind this isn't the largest deer in the world but I was impressed.
I was worried about my shot on a deer that jumped the string. I also thought my poor penetration was due to short drawing after holding back for what seemed forever. I was wrong.
It seems the first shot entered through the back leg muscle and cut through the femur just before the joint. Completly shattering the leg as it stuck in and pulled out. The marrow completly cut through is the joint attached to the pelvic bone.

I then used that same arrow and head for a finishing shot at the end of the track. I didn't think about grabbing a fresh arrow in the heat of the moment. This shot was a hard quartered bedded deer and entered back cut 2 ribs on the far side and penetrated the far shoulder.

After removing the head I used it to slice a section of hide during field dressing. Still plenty sharp! Did I say I was impressed? :archer:
Very interesting!!! What was the bow specs again?
They are some impressive broadheads for sure! Just curious. How much weight are you pulling?
64# @ 28" Hill Country Bows "Cree"
Simmons glue-on Treeshark 100gr. steel adapter
30" CE heritage 350 standard insert 660gr. total
I believe I'm convinced!! Thanks for the pics Rob!

This was a head given to me by Owlbait so no telling how much action it saw before me.
I have been using Interceptor Safari's with my 53# Longwalker but haven't connected with those yet.
Nice pix... Congrats!!
Very thorough review. Thank you, I'm looking forward to some testing if my own on some hogs in Texas in one month. :archer2: :)
Great heads. Congrats on filling your freezer.
I use 190 grain treesharks and love them! Shot a button buck couple weeks ago and they were very impressive.... :archer: :clapper:
Nice Rob!
Interceptor Safaris is what I'm using too. Anxious to bloody one.
That's great! I shoot Inteceptors and they are nasty!
I talked to Owlbait Tonight Rob, He said he killed 2 doe with it before passing it on to you.
He says Congrats and so do I. Well done man and way to go with the CSI photos. Thats some serious damage.
Happy New Year My man,
CTT

good luck David.
Impressive!
Com'on... no way...everyone know you can only have that kind of damage and penetration with a single bevel :biglaugh:
Sorry, couldn't help myself ;)
Good stuff Rob....congrats again!!
Guru I was fixing to say the same thing. I have been using Simmons heads for years. They are head and shoulders above the rest.LCH
Wow! :thumbsup:
I've been using Simmons heads since Jerry owned the company; great heads.
However, maybe a follow up shot would not have been required with single bevel.
Sorry, couldn't help myself.
That's cool! :scared: :scared: :eek: God bless.
New arrows and Simmons heads are on my list for next year. Great pics of what a good head and heavy arrow will do.
