Gang,
Does anybody have any experience or input on these heads. I am eyeballing the 175 gr model but it appears that it might be a bit less "tough" than the 200 grain version. So interested int strength, durability, flight, sharpening, just all those normal things. Have really become a big fan of wide and heavy 2 blades for Whitetails in the last couple years and the Ace Super Express looks like a winner, at least online.

I've used the 200s for several years and have no immediate plans to change. They've killed several deer, a coyote, and a couple of other critters, some of them more than one. They've been banged into rocks and stumps all over the Ozarks. They sharpen (and resharpen) well. The only ones I don't still use are on the arrows I couldn't find and have contributed to the archeological record. I like them a lot.
Almost any broadhead you see discussed here will work if put in the right place, so it ultimately comes down to a matter of preference while balancing all the considerations one needs to balance. I like Ace and I like fairly heavy heads. Hence, the Super Express 200s.
I have used about all of the ACE heads.
they all work just great. I would noy be concerned with anything when shooting an Ace.
For the same price are there any advantages or disadvantages compared to Tuskers. Do the ferrules hold up to abuse and remain true? Looks to me they are both great bang for the buck and I think I will try one or the other also. Lots of great heads are getting very expensive and hate losing them.
I've used to use nothing but the 175's but decided to go up in weight a few years ago to the 200's. Both are great broadheads that hold up well, are easy to sharpen and do a lot of damage when they hit something.

I am shooting the 175 super express this year.I have shoot 2 deer with them this season,a spike white tail and a spike sika deer.Was shooting a 52# bigjim buffalo and a 500 gr arrow.Both shots less than 15 yds broad side with pass thru and sticking 3" in the dirt.One was a 60 yard recovery the other was about 80 yards.The arrow that I shot the white tail would still shave hair on one side and the other would only grab the hair on my arm.Easy to sharpen and seem plenty tough.I think the ace heads are the best bang for your buck.And the blood trails were great!
