Anyone using Simmons Sharks broadheads?
« on: December 17, 2003, 12:56:33 AM »
This broadhead appears to be a tough one....flys good, easy to resharpen, not very expensive and a cut-on-contact design. www.simmonssharks.com

Has anyone used the Simmons Sharks for hunting?
What was your experiences?

Thank you, Bowhunter57

Oh yes! I've taken more deer with the Simmons heads than any other I have used. They are definitely well made heads, and it's no exaggeration to say that they fly like field points as I've never experienced windplaneing with them.

One piece of advice I would give is to buy one of Jerry's sharpeners that he sells on the site to make the sharpening process easy on yourself. The concave edge is great for penetration, but it can be more challenging to get a good hair popping/shaving edge than some other broadheads unless you have one of his sharpeners with are specially designed for his heads.

The Treeshark model is a full 2 inches wide on the main blade, and and inch wide on the bleeder. A lot of people might think that is too big for a broadhead, but like I stated before, even the big model flys like a field point. You shouldn't have any problems with flight unless you are shooting an extremely fast bow. In that case you might want to go with one of the 125 grain models.

Also, check out their Woodpecker Drill. It's the best method I have ever used to get up a tree and into a loc-on style stand. For ease of use and economy it just cannot be beat. I have one now that is almost 15 years old that is still going strong.

When you call ask to speak with Mike or Will. Jerry is kinda retired right now, and this time of year most likely up a tree.  :wink:
