Simmons Great White

[Tajue17]

I have several packs of treesharks and centaur heads and I just can't get them sharp enough to scare me..  someone here should offer a sharpening service..

Chris Spikes has a video that shows his method of sharpening.   It works pretty good!

Good luck,  shoot straight and God bless,

Ted;
I've seen some pictures of pretty impressive wounds from Simmons large heads.  I have Centaur Big Game heads, but have not hunted them yet.  Also, have seen impressive pictures with them.

I found this Simmons broadhead test by Lusk: It looks like the width and surface area slow it down in his test in ballistic gel, the same consistency used by the FBI to test ammo.

That is impressive, Gary. What draw weight are you shooting with those?

Thanks guys!
Joe, I was shooting a 61 lb. Black Widow PSRX.  I've had pass throughs on the three animals I've shot with them.  Deer, javi and now turkey.  Previously I was using the treeshark and had great success with them as well.  Shot a treeshark through a 320 lb. spring bear in Manitoba with a 70 lb. Howard Hill longbow.  When you look at the head though I don't blame guys for being skeptical.  I was too... until I tried them.  When I first switched to Simmons heads I had been shooting Magnus II two blades and snuffers.  Having been bitten by the Hill bug I also tried the Hill head but could never get the spring steel sharp.  I read that Howard and Byron Ferguson liked the concave cutting edge so I tried the Tigersharks and really liked them.  I'm not great at sharpening so I bought the Simmons Steelmaster sharpener with my first order and glad I did.  It doesn't look like they sell them anymore.  Probably more info than you wanted but that's been my journey.  Btw, it was great to meet you at LTR this year, and I look forward to seeing you again next year!

Haven't sharpened my Centaur heads but have a Rada and an old (90 years) kitchen knife sharpener that is like the Rada, but has five plates on each side.  Does great on knives.

Great results, Gary...

Will have to wait to this fall to test the Great White.

Absolutely no birds here...focusing on getting things in order for this fall....has been quite an endeavor, so far...
