Simmons Land Shark or Interceptor broadheads

Anyone have experience with these Simmons broadheads? They look like a nice head and the wound channel seems to be very impressive based on the pictures I have seen. Any help thanks.

Cottonwood has. I just got 3 of the Landsharks off him in a trade and I’m SERIOUSLY thinking of hunting with them this year. My only concern is that they are a 125g screw in so I have some 50g brass adapters coming in to add some weight.

The concave edge is wicked sharp and easy to touch up.

Byron Ferguson uses the Interceptors. I would go with them due to the 3-1 ratio length to width.

I didn’t hunt with them, but just tested them in my “Other” modern bow when I had it. They flew fine, but if I could of used the 165 gr SB-20 Land Sharks, I would of bought those. They have a width of 1 9/16ths, and are Dave Oligee’s most sought after broadhead.

No Simmons Sharks are serrated period. Here is the link. http://www.simmonssharks.com/node/2

Also go to the Gallery and look at the game tested on, and notice the Water Buffalo in Africa taken with a 165 gr Land Shark.

Call Dave and he can tell you the story on her harvest with the 165 gr on that Water Buffalo.

I’m not defending here, but these are good heads.

But there are equally as good of broadheads on the market as well.

Hey first time to speak up bare with me!! I have used the 160gr. Sharks for awhile use them in the early days shooting them out of my traing wheels now out of my trad bows I have massive wound channels out my training wheels kills and trad the same about 3 to 4″ cut entrance and exit holes. I shoot axis 300 full length 100 gr. Insert gives me total of 640 gr arrow out of my 60# centaur longbow. Killed elk in New Mexico and whitetail and good sized hogs all with pass throughs watched go down in sight. Use the sharpener they recommend won’t go wrong!!!!!

Hey Bone, welcome to the forum. May I ask what sharpener do they recommend? I have a few centaur heads and seem to be sharpened challenged here so any tips would be a great help.

Thank you all for the welcome!!! 2blade go to their website I can not remember the exact name of it but bh is clamped in a holder then using two ceramic rods that you pull along both sides of blade this allows for the concaved part to be sharpened. Works well with any bh or knife. Again thank you all for the great tips and info. That I have read and gathered from you all!! God Bless and I’m going hog hunting this weekend it’s hot here in Texas but it makes for good times early and late hunts!

Bone, I see the one your talking about on the website. One more question tho, does it have a guide for the rods so you can get the same angle, or is that up to the guy doing the sharpening? thanks, and good luck on the hogs.

Steel Master sales for $39.95. I am going to give Jim a call and order some of his bh as well and some masi ashby bh too.

I looked through the gallery, and it seemed to me like there were more traditional bows in pictures than there were wheel-guns. This, of course, is a good thing. I’m just not sure I like the concave style of the blade. I prefer a straight blade, as the penetration speed would seem to be more consistent than that of the concave blade. Going from a narrow blade to a suddenly much wider blade width would, at least in my mind, slow the penetration speed down, therefore losing some of the energy carried by the arrow. Just my thoughts on it, though the heads obviously work, at least for the people that sent pictures in to Simmons.

Hi everyone, been a week as I have been gone to MT Youth Bowhunter Camp… another thread on that one. But my partner at the camp has simalar opinion of the land sharks as I do. He does not like a barbed BH and that is his feeling of the land sharks. The other factor was the bleeder blades, which of course you can use with or without. They just don’t seem to want to stay in place. Use what you want, ours are just opinions here.

Concave heads did not fare well in Ashby’s testing. I believe that report is very early, maybe even during the Natal study. It’s all in the Ashbly library here if anyone has the time and motivation to search it out.
