lets see your trophies bagged with simmons sharks, Ive got a few on the way for this fall...

Entrance



Exit

Exit in vee of the leg

I think this is one as well.

The big bear I'm kneeling beside in my little avatar photo (3/4 mount) was taken with a 190 grain Interceptor.  Jerry Simmons is an old friend and has showed me some unbelievable photos of massive bloodtrails and huge critters taken with his original designs!  Did I mention those gigantic wound channels?? Wow.

Just a few.RC

I've shot 1 buck and a yearling doe with the Simmons 160 gr.
I used it as a 2 blade on the buck and used the bleeder blade on the doe.  Which way do y'all get the best results ?  They fly the best for me as a 2 blade.

I've got some 150 grain that I would love to send through a hog if I can ever find a place.

I have killed 13 deer with Simmons heads and a longbow I killed around 150 with a compound. It is the best head I have used. LCH

I just got a pack of 125g screw-in Landsharks in a trade and I am seriously thinking about using them this year. Ordering some 50g brass inserts to add some weight.

Do you guys prefer bleeder or no bleeder?

I have killed a lot of critters with my interceptors , just not very good at posting pics , but the buck in my avatar was dropped in his tracks in Georgia. I have several Africa pics on 3 rivers trophy pages but don't know how to move them over here . Great heads .

Fred, Do you use bleeders on the interceptors?

Are you guys using the bleeder blades or not ???

My first Trad deer, 3days into hunting with trad gear. !25 geain Razor shark from a 55# super Kodiak at 17yds



125 grain Razor shark from a 49# shrew pass through at 18yds  

I don't use the bleeders. When I tried them I shot low. The holes I get are as big as the ones in the top photos or bigger. The more the angle of entrance or exit the bigger the hole. I have had holes over 6" with the landsharks. When the hole is that big the blood trails are continuous and a foot wide.LCH

How do you guys prefer to sharpen them? Jewel sticks as recommended? Accusharps?

I use the wheelie sharpener on mine.  Makes pretty quick work of getting them sharp.

I'll try to post a few photos of some critters taken with 190 grain Interceptors.  One is of my buddy Jerry Simmons himself kneeling with me and a "wet" bear I took one fall.  Another photo shows Byron Ferguson and myself before he, Jerry, Fred Pape, and I began dragging the bruiser out of the bush. The final bear photo is of a pretty decent bear I took with a 190 gr..  The big bear in my avatar was also taken with a 190 gr. 2 blade Interceptor.  I'm including a photo of a blood trail produced by a 2 blader and Douglas Fir shaft.  If you look on the left side of the picture you can see my broken arrow.  All-in-all, I have taken around 50 or so deer, bear, hogs, antelope, and eastern turkeys using 190 gr. Simmons Interceptors.  They're TOUGH; I took 7 deer using the same head.

Thanks for the input on the bleeders.

Are there other good methods of sharpening these besides the wheelie thingy?
