Title: Wasp Sharpshooter
Post by: doubleo on June 23, 2022, 08:13:40 AM
I see there making them in 200 gr. They also make them in 100 and 150 gr. Wish they would make them in 175 gr. Have used the 150 gr. with great results.

If you have a scale buy the 200gr BH and file 25gr off.

Considering trying them out myself, I like the idea of 4 blades and have had good luck with Wasp heads in the past.

I have a couple new bows in process of being built.  I am hoping to get the 150 grains to shoot.  I like 4 blade heads.  I like the z deltas 4 but I can't find any.  I've looked at other 4 blade heads but the wasp seems a little stouter built.  The other 4 blade option was iron will wides, I just can't get my self to pay $33 dollars a broadheads. 

I guess it took all that to say , I think they are a decent broadhead that I hope to use this year.

You can also take off the bleeder blades if you like a 2 blade. I have used these heads on a broadhead corse and they are a tough little head.

Wow, I have to say those look pretty decent. Back when I was a young man(80s) wasp broadheads were pure junk. I didn't even know they were still around. Nice improvements from my last memories of them.

I like the 200 grain,but do they only make it in single bevel? I like the fact that they are made here in Connecticut.

Yeah Rick, kinda funny that its a single bevel and a double bevel at the same time.  :knothead:

That's what I was thinking Terry. I shot them an email.

I was looking at the 200 grain heads earlier today and from what I could tell from the pictures they were a single bevel?  Kind of intrigues me with them being a 4 blade with the bleeder blades, curious how they would preform.

Just like any other normal 4 blade.  I might even order some for a half dozen arrows for javies next LTR as I think I'm gonna need 200 grains.

I was wondering about a single bevel on a 4 blade head. The purpose of the single bevel is to get the broadhead to twist during penetration...wouldn't the third and fourth blades prevent the head from twisting and negating the purpose of the single bevel?????

I hear you Dale. The 100 and 150 gr. heads are double bevel. Don't know why they would make the 200 gr. in a single bevel.

The look like they will work but that $54 for 3 price tag I'll pass not saying anything bad about them but the price.

I sent them an email,and they got back with me,and said for now it's just the single bevel.
