Title: Woodsman Elite 175 Grain
Post by: Ron Vought on January 28, 2013, 11:47:00 AM: Just placed a Three Rivers Archery order for the Woodsman Elite 175 grain broadheads. Can anyone provide feedback on the 175 grain Woodsman Elite? Any tuning issues with carbon arrows?

Thanks,
Ron

It went almost all the way through i just touched it and it came out the other side. Best part was there wasn't a single nick on the blade sharpened it up and put it through the shoulder of another deer and still not a nick on it.
No tuning issues at all just screwed them on and they shot great for me.

Tough head with a great warranty.

Great flying head, easy to sharpen, and I really like the non-vented blades.
