Anyone using Simmons Sharks?
« on: December 17, 2003, 01:06:41 AM »
This broadhead appears to be a good one. Tough by design, cut-on-contact, easy to resharpen, not very expensive and they fly good. www.simmonssharks.com

Has anyone used these 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.

I hunt with Simmons 160 Land Sharks and have killed several deer with them. In fact I always get pass throughs and they do shoot like field tips. Another thing I like is I have killed serveral deer with the same head. I have never lost one or destroyed one hunting. They are very tough... I was just looking around over here and saw this topic and thought I would throw my 2 cents in... I shoot the heads out of a crossbow and I have never used the bleeder blades. If I put the arrow in the right place the Simmons will do a great job. Book
