I shoot VPA 200 grain 3 blades , 1-1/8" cut , awesome blood trails. Also have a few 1 -1/4  200s they penetrate just as well and bleed just as well. I just like the longer ones.

As said you can make them really sharp. I black the edges and (now no gasping) mounted on an arrow, pull them from back to point lightly on my 6" fine wheel bench grinder . Watch the blackened edge and go slow. when you have it cleaned up, I have a handifile by Nicholson I think , use the single cut side, 3 light strokes,then 2 then one  barely touching the broadhead.

Shave in about a minute and shoots thru deer into the dirt (usually)with 42-46 lbs

YMMV
Stay sharp, Kenny.

I ended up putting course to finer grit sandpaper on a 6" pvc pipe & sharpening that way. Just waiting on a piece of leather to come in the mail so I can finish stropping.

Tried out a new method of testing sharpness just with a piece of paper & I'm satisfied!

I know as a fact that the sharper I can get my heads the more animals will bleed. I wanted full confidence that the arrows I send @ animals are as sharp as I can possibly make them, mission accomplished.

Merry Christmas!

THE L T R HUNTS. We're mostly from 2:00 to 250 grains.

If anybody doesn't think that three blades work once again, here's a picture so that you will know that you have no standing on your claims.

Such a cool hunt, incredible animals!

Excited to put these VPA's to good use now that i've figured out how to get them as sharp as possible!

For what it is worth.......I am 100% convinced that the rubber band test is more applicable to what we do than the hair shaving test.
