Haven't shoot lighter than the 160 grain 1 1/8" VPA, but they do well.  Currently, using the 190/200 grain 1 1/8" and 250 grain 1 1/4" heads and they don't stop for much.  VPA is hard to beat.

I got a pass through on this buck using a 175 grain VPA with a 50 grain insert on an Easton 500 out of a 46 LB Treadway Black Forest.

I have a few 150 VPA. They fly well on 50/55, 55/60 Surewoods that are around 29" out of 49-51# bows.

I do shoot some 2016's; and carbons w/ my 51# Widow, but for some reason mostly prefer woodies.

But recently I have been shooting 27" arrows and have not tried shooting them (150 VPA) yet. Kind of think I will go back to Zwickeys, but will have to see.

I have only taken 1 small doe with the 1-1/4 Vpa. Shot was almost straight down(about 5ft) just left of the spine straight through to the ground. Not a bit of trouble and still sharp.

I can't say anything about the VPA but I still have a bunch of original Snuffers in 100 and 125 grains, add 25 grains for inserts.  Easily sharpened and fly well.  I can't recall a negative post about the VPA, Snuffers, or Woodsman's.

Have taken groundhogs, turkey, 8 deer, hogs and a 500# stag with the 1 1/8" 3=blade VPA.


Harvested the red stag with a 250 gn 3-Blade 1 1/8" VPA backed by 100 gn insert....60 yard recovery

Note: Have taken twice as many critters utilizing the Tree Shark. Both are great choices however, I am quite fond of the super blood trails consistently experienced with the tree shark. I don't even require a heavy blood trail as my hound doesn't care.

I really like the 160 gr glue on—-I think VPA heads are nearly indestructible.
