Being a broadhead junkie I like to try out different heads from time to time. After reading some posts on the Simmons broadheads I placed an order for some Tree Sharks. Well they arrived today and all I can say is Oh My God. I have never seen a broadhead so big. If I can get them to fly well out of my set-up the deer population is in BIG trouble.
Do not follow where the path may lead.  Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.

Same here, I'm waiting for half a dozen from Big Jims.  The wounds in the post about broadhead performance were unreal.

I will have to try the Tree Sharks. I have not worked up the nerve yet, but I do not know why. I have shot the rest of the Simmons and every one that I have ever put on the end of a shaft has has had perfect flight. I have settled on the Interceptor for some time now and absolutely could not be happier with a broadhead. Excellent flight and incredible blood trails, even if they are a little short, LOL. Lots of opinions on broadheads. But I can say I have never shot one that I was more in love with.

I have some tree and land sharks, and they both look absolutely deadly, now if I can only get to take a shot at a deer lol.

They will fly awesome.  They have much better flight characteristics than heads a fraction of their size.  Oh yeah and they leave massive holes too!

Tree Sharks perform as advertised and fly great. Just make sure you get them shaving sharp, there are resourses available to help you learn how to do that.
Lefties are the only ones who hold the bow in the right hand.

I ordered a half dozen a couple days ago.  Working up an arrow to stick them on. Can't wait for turkey season!

I love Tree Sharks, they fly great easy to sharpen (paper wheel) and leave the best blood trails I have ever seen,every time.   :thumbsup:

I put one of the Tree Sharks on an arrow this morning and headed out back to see how they flew. It bogles my mind how something so big can fly so great. Now to get them sharp!! Anyone use the Steel Master sharpener that Simmons sells. I found one among some of my old stuff and was wondering if I should give it a try or one of the methods in the How-To section here on TG.

The Steel Master is the best for me, I've been using one for 12 years.

I sharpen mine with a chainsaw file and the wheelie. Mostly just the wheelie after the initial sharpening.

It is a neat design for sure.Those wound pics on the other thread prove them out too.I think the way they are shaped with the wide part flaring out on the rear instead oh straight back like a zwicky delta may be why they fly good with being so wide.Now if they made a 3 blade like that it would really be deadly!Or maybe a removable bleeder blade but as wide as they are they may not need anything extra to help stop arrow shaft pinch or to keep fat from closeing up the wound on fatty animals like bear and hogs.They look like they would need a heavy poundage bow to penetrate good but i havnt heard anyone say anything about that being a problem.

I just got some also.  Can't wait to test them out on game.

I just got some Tiger Sharks. I went with them because they are the same weight at my Deltas, so I shouldn't have to retune to use them. They are VERY impressive. I used a jewel stick and finished with an EZE-Lap M diamond hone that I carry on my belt. It works great on knives and seems to do the trick on Sharks as well.

My understanding from the research I did before ordering these is that Simmons broadheads work very well on lower poundage bows, with several reports of complete passthroughs with low 40s bows. I know I can blow through deer with my Kanati and Delta combo, so I don't see any reason to believe the Sharks won't do as well in terms of penetration.

The huge holes and short, gory blood trails are what enticed me to give them a try. The price is also reasonable as well.

They used to make a Tree Shark w/bleeders. It was just for screw in.

AMB, PM sent.

Anyone use the method that landshark posted on the How-To forum? It's my understanding that the current Simmons heads only require the second half of Chris' process ( File & redi-edge)
