Nice. I'm actually starting my archery course today. Us in uk can't hunt big stock. And tbh I'm not against it if you're eating it, and 99.9 of hunters i watch fill up their freezer with good meat. I used to sharpen knives but i used stone, abit of oil. And yep i could shave with them. Just takes patience with knives. And there's a few ways that people do it. But that's buy the buy. Good luck catching some good eating. Much love from uk
I called VPA one morning to have them add some thumper heads to my order. The guy that answered the phone said he had no idea how to do that. Then he said I'm going to just throw them in your package and not charge you. 👍
I am going with a similar setup. Easton Axis, 100 grain HIT insert, 2 different Broadheads, Bearpaw Yeagers 200 grain Double bevel or Crimson Talon 200 grain Single bevel. Oh and Nocturnal Nocks.
VPA shop is just north of me in Ft Wayne, Indiana. Ive shot their single bevels and they did just like all other broadheads. Its the person pulling the bow that determines how well that broadhead works. A gut shot is a gut shot. I dont think they're the holy grail of broadheads but if youre getting them for free I'd speak highly of them too. Prices are getting ridiculous. Im guessing soft steel to get a sharp cutting edge that fast.
I dont know what the '''Sticker Shock $$''' is for just a clam pac of 3, but can only imagine that Id be thankfull I stocked up on what I consider to be the No.1 perfect BroadHead of all time that doesnt need improved several years ago.

Hey Jeff, I love you and i want to say something about your video on broadheads and Blood trails. No matter the broadhead, blood trails are just as unperditab
I'm using the vpa 200 grain single bevel 1 1/8th" cut s7 tool steel rh bevel there absolutely wicked and fly great so far out to 65 yards. Using them on a 200 spine easton axis 5mm arrow with 75 grain brass insert complete arrow is 650 grains shooting them out of a 81# hoyt vtm 28" draw moving at 260 fps.
I'm in California the required bow pull weight is 40 pounds or more and the broadhead must not pass through a 7/8 hole how wide is that broadhead at its widest part? I will be hunting next year with a 50+ pound bow your videos have helped me in my journey of learning traditional archery thank you.
Can you do a video on wooden arrows. I have an Osage Orange self bow at 48lbs with my 28” draw length. I’m having a hard time with wooden arrows. But that’s what I want to shoot.
Yes and premium tool grade steel isn’t cheap to use not to mention they’re not outsourced in China made right here with pride and that’s why they have to charge more.
All you people complaining about price….wth. The broadhead is the single most important piece of kit for a bow hunter. It’s all there is. I’d rather get a budget bow or arrows or camo or whatever else and spend top dollar to get the best broadhead. It’s not even gimmicky. It a quality, durable, reusable, American made product. What’s the problem?
My setup is 50 pound limbs in the Sanlida Royal X8 with a 29.5 inch draw. I assume actual pull weight is 55 pound range. I got 31 inch, 300 spine arrows with 300 grain heads. Should I get the VPA 3 blades for the blood trail or the single bevel 2 blades for the penetration?
The omega is 100% the most penetrating and easiest to sharpen head I’ve ever used just don’t leave a lot of blood on the ground like the Simmons however they’ll put them down quick and bone is not an issue!
I’m more worried about blood trail plus I don’t want to pay over a hundred dollars for them I love the penetration but not that much thanks for responding
@@MichaelHatten-ev1fj yes sir I completely understand that and for the cost of a pack of Simmons heads and their devastating performance you simply cannot go wrong!
@@MichaelHatten-ev1fj one other very good choice from VPA is the 3-1 design 3 blade because they’re easy to sharpen as well and offer everything you’d want in a broadhead at a much lower price point 👍🏻
I think I’ll stick with Simmons I have zero complaints and shoot through everything I shoot with amazing blood trails if I actually don’t see them fall again thanks for the response I appreciate your TH-cam channel and all the informative information you supply
The people at VPA broad heads must be using high quality steel a computer numeric cutting machine and a laser sharpening system because Phillips doesn’t brag like this about ANYTHING!
I definitely understand that but personally I’d rather buy cheaper arrows like warriors or something that still perform great and go with premium broadheads 💯
The sharper the head is the better it cuts that is common sense. To encourage frontal shots or quartering towards you shots is irresponsible. Plain and simple. For every time you can call a successful shot I have seen 2 or 3 that have failed. Yes with heavy arrows and sharp heads. They are low percentage shots that have always been ab bad idea with the bow. That will never change😊
I started using VPA this season and have been blown away by them so far. And owners are great people! Win Win here in my opinion

That sounds like them lol super cool people for sure!
Great video. I use the VPA 3 blade heads and yes I too sharpen them with sandpaper and they are scalpel sharp. Awesome heads.
I am going with a similar setup. Easton Axis, 100 grain HIT insert, 2 different Broadheads, Bearpaw Yeagers 200 grain Double bevel or Crimson Talon 200 grain Single bevel. Oh and Nocturnal Nocks.
At 42 lb I think sharp is better than a semi sharp wider broad head .it's all about penetration. Thanks 😊for heads up.

For $113 for 3 they should sharpen themselves, I’ll stick with my ACE that’s easy to sharpen and for $39 for 6
Just ordered some!
@@chickimac1 absolutely the easiest to sharpen and most penetrating broadhead I’ve ever seen!
unpredictable as the weather report.
Have you ever tried one of Abowyers broadheads in the left bevels?
I'm in California the required bow pull weight is 40 pounds or more and the broadhead must not pass through a 7/8 hole how wide is that broadhead at its widest part?
I will be hunting next year with a 50+ pound bow your videos have helped me in my journey of learning traditional archery thank you.
They’re 1 1/16”
@instinctiveaddictionarcher8998 thank you I will definitely be ordering some of these
Can you do a video on wooden arrows. I have an Osage Orange self bow at 48lbs with my 28” draw length. I’m having a hard time with wooden arrows. But that’s what I want to shoot.
People talking about price probably buy the tungsten ammo and avian x decoys for turkeys. 1000 dollar set up on that alone lol

Can you make a sharpening video on these broadheads?
Absolutely! Thanks 👍🏻
Out of my price range!!! But if you can reuse them probably worth it!! Everything going up in price!!!
@@kennylainhart7148 yeah I definitely agree brother!

@@llamawizard those 3blades are awesome especially with your draw weight!
What is ridiculous is the $113 price tag. Thanks, but no thanks.
So do you choose the vpa single bevel over the Simmons sharks

Thank you for your broadhead video, Jeff.
I would like to know, What steel is it made of?
Thank you.
S7 stool steel.
@@digitaldogs233
Thank you very much.
The people at VPA broad heads must be using high quality steel a computer numeric cutting machine and a laser sharpening system because Phillips doesn’t brag like this about ANYTHING!
$38 per broadhead and that all I need to hear - moving on...
Do you ever have a problem with the left bevel unscrewing the head? or is that just one of those internet myths floating around out there.
I actually bond mine with a touch of hot melt gorilla glue 👍🏻
$37.66 per head? No thanks
I definitely understand that but personally I’d rather buy cheaper arrows like warriors or something that still perform great and go with premium broadheads 💯
I would by them of I could afford them
Lol they’re definitely not cheap!

Hi Jeff, what is the thickness of this broadhead?
Thank you.
Not exactly sure but they’re definitely.040 or more 👍🏻
@@instinctiveaddictionarcher8998
Thank you very much.
May God bless you!
Whats the advantage of left wing helical over a right?
@@jeremietemple6851 no real advantage, the left wing feathers just come off the shelf a little better especially with shallow cut longbows 👍🏻
