Nice RC, that sure proves the penetration of a 3 blade, and with a 47# bow.

I have both....they both fly GREAT for me. I believe the Woodsman Elites are easier for me to sharpen (I just use a flat file and in a couple minutes I can shave hair off my arm easily). The Simmons heads ( I have 190gr. Interceptor) do some MAJOR DAMAGE...do a search and you'll see there is plenty of pics or the Simmons' broadheads and the gash/bloodtrails they leave.

Of the two, the Woodsman is the much easier to sharpen broadhead.

I can't sharpen a concave broadhead. This is why I don't shoot Simmons broadheads or any concave broadhead.

I shot ww 150's and took four deer and all fell within 60yrds and blood was everywhere. This year I will have ww's in the quiver with some zwickeys and the new griz kodiaks to compare. My goal is to take a deer with each head.

Nite Wing I couldn't sharpen them either until I bought the sharpener Simmon's sells. Now I can put a razor edge on any 2 blade head quickly.LCH

Been shooting the WW since they have come out. LOVE the head. Last year, I decided to shoot Simmons. Few pix from last season.

Video of the what the BH went through.


WW Elite



These pictures show the WW buried just above the knee on the bucks back right leg. I shot him as he was trotting, took the liver, then angled back into the leg.

I was very impressed with the Simmons, but like others have stated it is more work to get "scary" sharp. I will keep shooting them, but my #1 head is the WW.

Simmons  for me over any of the regular vpa heads.   Have killed a lot of deer with both the 1 1/4 250vpa screw In also a great head.  But they are hard to find.  Prefer them and the big 3 over the normal vpas.    

Hey Friend.  Just out of curiosity what is the slash factor of the simmons 190 interceptor 1 9/16 with the bleeder at 1 1/8.  Thanks Will

If you by the tree shark purchase the sharpening
kit also or you may be disappointed.These heads can be sharpened in seconds with the sharperner.
Your best shot is only as good as your next one!

I haven't shot the Simmons, but I have had great luck with my Woodsman Elites. I have always had good pass-through and a short blood trail.
