CD the Simmons LandShark is an excellent choice,made by Jerry Simmons over here in Alabama,he is one of the most experienced,under rated bowhunters in the country possibly the world.
That is because even tho he has his fortune since he started Simmons Outdoors,he has always been unassuming and humble,never went looking for fame,he just enjoyed hunting.
I think they come in 135(what I use) 160 and 190 grain weights,they make a huge cut and are high quality broadheads.
Should be able to find them there,if not I can send you a set.

The Bowtech are great bows! My wife shoots a Ladyhawk and she drives tacks with it!  |

I tried to save some money today by getting a bow off of e-bay and got beat out at the last minute on 2 different ones  . I know thats not the best way to do it but when you are talking about saving a couple hundred dollars it is. Jack I may have to take you up on that offer since no one around here seems to carry them. Have you tried the Safari 215 grain broadheads from them? |

Yeah me too CD,dont add up they got money to blow,spend 8-10 bux on a broadhed,use it once and chunk it.
Dont even make sense but they say its easier than spending time sharpening.
I say they are lazy.Heck sharpening knives,broadheds and cleaning guns is therapy for me.
Takes me 30 minutes to clean my rifle if I shoot it once.

Try using a Accusharp knife sharpener they are the best quick sharpening tools I have found.They work great on Zwickey and Magnus heads also. I sharpen the heads first with a file to get the correct angle then just touch them up with the accusharp after that. If the broadhead is sharp when you buy it then you would not have to file it to get correct angle just use the accusharp after each kill or mmmisss. I shot a deer with the new Stinger from Magnus yesterday ,very impressive ,very accurate,and lifetime garantee,i resharpened with accusharp ready for a hog now.
