i along with most every one like to shoot the toughest bh available, but i dont use 300 up front,  these new all steel screw in woodsmans seem like a good option but i wonder how a all steel non vented 3 blade screw in weighing 175 could posibly be up to snuff on thickness. right now to get a 175 i either have to use aluminum adapers in a 125 or 145, or say a razor cap with lots of venting and not much steel.

I would love to hear about any thoughts on the 175 woodsman screw in.

Solid, made in America, 100% MACHINED, hard hitting, easy to sharpen broadhead that you can bet any hunt on.

I started out with 200gr and had to drop to 175gr to spine right.  I have only shot these VPA heads twice while hunting and both times the head performed flawlessly and was back in the quiver after a quick touch up (one javelina and one muley doe).

I put a 200gr into a solid wood door with 3/4 penetration, pulled the head out and after a touch up killed that doe with the same head a few weeks later.  Now that head is on my dads arrows as I shoot the 175.

I will never shoot a different head, period...

what is the difference between the vpa and woodsman elite? besides the vpa being solid in all weights?

Same thing, different name.

Yep, 3rivers calls them the woodsman elite but is the same head.

got the vpa terminator in 300 grain screw-in .... oooo, what a nasty good broadhead!  

thats good to hear i was just thinking that with only 175 grains and having steel ferrulle and screw the blade thicknes would have to take a big hit

1/2 of a 300 xtreem for 1/2 of the price.

All around great heads...everyone I have has mounted and spun true out of the package and does its intended job is on animals.

I shot a little 75 pound meat hog about a weeks ago with one. Thought she did not see me but at the release she spun. The arrow enter in front of the right shoulder through her neck, cutting the bottom spinal cord, and then exited out the left eye socket.

Luckily in this situation everything worked out for me but what most impressed me was the penetration of the VPA. The head is now resharpened and back in my quiver.
