I was just talking to Jeff about these....

I love the the 160 glue-on's, but, would like the option to shoot a bigger version if I choose to at lighter skinned stuff like deer.

Anyway, Jeff said if there was enough interest in these 1 1/4" 250 gr., screw-in, non-vented bh's that they would make a run of 100 packs.

But since the cost of tool grade steel has risen, they'd be priced higher than the smaller versions...about $49 per 3 pk.

So lets hear it fellas...who else is like me and likes to shoot the big boys!!

Heck I'd like to see an even bigger version sold by VPA, I luv the silence of a non-vented head    

Curt... I'd love a 1 1/4" VPA. I've recently switched back to aluminum and would only need 160gr.

Charlie, Don't think different weights would be an option.

I think it would just be 250gr. screw-in's...and non-vented I hope!!

What's up with the switch bud?

I shoot the 160 grain glue ons non vented. Absolutely love them!

Have been experiencing some strange misses with the carbons since I switched to them. My shooting has really settled down now that I'm back to beer can shafts.

I had the carbons tuned extremely well so that shouldn't have been it. Maybe I had just gotten stale.

Curt,

I'd be in on that one for 250 gr screw in (1 1/4).

Did you get anything in the mail yet?

Larry

Curt, I would commit to 1 Dozen.    

I use to get requests for them quite regular.That was before the word realy got out about them not being available any more.

Big Jim does a 1 1/2" VPA glue on in 250gr

as an option

I'd be interested in the 1 1/4" heads if they are priced like the other VPA's.

I really like the Big Jim heads, but the cost keeps me away.

Morning star hit it right there,,, would these be the same price,,,, but doesn't VPA make the big jim heads?  and if they did go to 1 1/4 then its only fair that Big Jim then goes to 1 3/4" or 2" wide 300gr 3-blades...

I say bring back the biggies!

Com'on fellas, lets show them that there's a lot of us that like to shoot big'uns            

I remember a thread not to long ago about VPA's and there were bunches beggin' for the older 1 1/4" heads    

There are a fair amount of guys who like the big heads but are not willing to pay extra for them.

These are American made quality construction and that's not cheap. I don't see many guys buying the 1 1/4 at $50 bucks but I'm shure there would be a few. I would purchase the 100 packs for resale, but I'm shure sales would be a little sluggish.
I have experienced a moderate response to the Big Jim Heads and I'm shure that is because of price and being new. I will continure to stock those because I love them and if I have to shoot every last one it's worth it me because they are devastating. I have taken 4 deer and 3 pigs so far this year with them and the increased blood trail is so obvious that I'm extatic.
I'm also a firm believer that the guys experiencing success with the 1 1/8" heads would continue to have success with the 1 1/2" heads.

Morning Star- As long as you don't loose them, they should last you an incredibly long time.
I have taken four deer, 1 big Hog, two smaller hogs and missed two coon and have shot many into the dirt before leaving the stand. All from a 82# bow and most with the same head. Still sharpen up great and spin perfect! ( not going to tell you how many more times I missed with them this year too)
Weather you buy the 1 1/8" heads or find some 1 1/4" heads or my BigJim 1 1/2" heads, they all spin true and are tougher than woodpecker lips. No vents to whistle, sharpen easy and fly like field tips---- yes, even the big ones fly like field tips.
Tajue17, the original design for the BigJim was 1 5/8" but couldn't keep them at 300g without venting. When I first started talking with VPA, I told them I wanted a 2" head but quickly realized it wasn't possible and keep the grains down to 300.

Bigjim

I bought one pack when they were available new.  I liked them so much that I have horse traded for a few more.  I would be interested in some more, since they are all I plan to shoot for a very long time.  

I would be interested in some 1 1/4's

I second BigJim's as being incredibly tough, and easy to re-sharpen even after a head on shot on a granite slab that totally destroyed the carbon shaft

I've wanted some of the 1 1/4" in glue-on, but haven't found any.  I talked to Jeff about them last summer, but even then, cost was an issue.  Thought about doing it as a business move, but not too keen on sitting on a few grand worth of broadheads.  It's only 1/16" of blade height.

Do they have the same factory angle as Suffers? Im gonna give 2 blades a rest for the rest of the year and on the hunt for a new 3 or 4 blade.

I would be a lot more willing with a glue on head. I've bent a few ferrules on the screw in version and would rather just have to replace the ferrule rather than throw away the head.
