Anyone have these heads? Do they tune easy, can you resharpen them? Been looking at trying them, just wondering how the fly out of 47 lb bow.

Ok, here is my take. I've killed Several with Land sharks and Tiger sharks. Let me say this, without a doubt either is my favorite 2 blade. I shoot 47-52# bows and 550 gr. Arrows. I like em both, but I give the slight edge to the Tiger Shark because of leghth and weight. They fly great and sharpen easily with a wheelie/rada type sharpener. I do hit with a crock stick. Can't go wrong in my opinion. Here is the last one I shot, I'm glad he is out the herd!

I've not used the Simmons, however I have used the head that Jim Neves makes that is almost a twin. I had no difficulty with them, fly excellent and sharpen well. Here is a Kudu cow I shot some years ago. You will also be amazed at the hole it makes! This is the entrance hole, was in a pit blind and the cow was higher than I

Ive used the Tiger Shark some we are very impressed with it . My son shot a big hog a really big hog up close with a Great White which is a huge head he got very little penetration only through the shield and into a rib and fell out he was shooting a 54 # recurve .

It's not the size of the cut, it's what you cut.

What is the Centaur version?

Papadeerhtr: Centaur is just a different manufacturer that makes the same style head. Kudo makes some as well that are a little lighter in weight but are single bevel. Centaur offers single bevel as well.

Landsharks are great. Easy to sharpen. Fly great. I use a 100 grain brass insert and 145 gn Landshark for some FOC.
