Not lucky enough to have done it yet but I have their 200gr ready to take action!! If I do succeed I'll gladly post up.
Two deer and a turkey so far this fall. I'll try to post a photo or two tonight.
I love Ace! Here's my 2011. I hope to add a big buck pic ASAP.

I gotta take more pics!
Only Ace kill was with a 145 grain. Perfect pass through. Never found the arrow. Mulie doe ran 40 yards without a blood trail. Might not have been so slick if bones had been hit.
I got 3 this year with ACE standard 160s. Longest trail was 70 yards and that was the heart shot. Heavy and short blood trails. Pass throughs and heads undamaged. I can't figure out how to post pics.
That brown phase Black Bear is gorgeous, wapiti792. Congrats on all your harvests ACE shooters.
Here's a few from the last couple of season's. Notice the coon only has three legs, didn't have a clue when I shot him. Love my Ace broadheads and once in a while some Pearson Deadheads when the mood strikes me.

Had to throw one picture in there from 16 years ago when I first discovered Ace and still had hair. All were shot with 52# except when I was younger. Back then I thought it took 70# to put an arrow thru a deer.
i dont have pics, but ace is my fav, been using them along time
Hopefully these are all sized correctly. Having trouble navigating Photobucket with my phone. All these critters was killed with a Ace 160 with a 75gr insert.

Any more?
So far this season I've killed a bear and a turkey with the Ace 200 grain Super Express broadheads. The pics have already been posted on this site somewhere.
These photos are of a doe I killed a few years ago with the 175 grain Super Express heads. Man, do they do some damage!

2012 Spring Gobbler. 175 ACE mounted on a cedar shaft.
(http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w266/MGERARDI_2007/f708c945.jpg)
Pretty much everything I've killed since 2004 has been with 125-grain Ace Standards -- deer, elk, moose, hogs, turkeys. They've never let me down.
My favorite broadhead over the years has been Ribteks. Since they're getting harder to find I'm going to try some Ace Standards. Looks like they have a good following and have done the job pretty well over the years.
I have both a new laptop and new phone, so I don't still have the pictures from last year or the year before. During that time I killed a coyote and two nice does with Ace 200s. Beautiful, big, gaping cuts. Fine blood trails on the coyote and one doe. The other doe never ran. Just took few steps, looked confused, and flopped. All head were in fine shape after, and that's after clanging into our Ozark rocks following passthrough. Fine heads. I don't have them on my shafts right now, as I am trying the new Grizz (which did real well in a decent 8 pointer last evening. He's aging in the fridge now.), but I'll put them back on with no hesitation if I break/lose/don't like these others. Also, the Ace is AFFORDABLE!!
Boy's, several of you guys are DEADLY! I really like them and have yet to put an ACE thru anything but a target but they sure sharpen really well and are plain tough. I have been trying to get some 175 grain ones but they don't have any currently. Be looking to put a 125 on some surewoods and 175 with a 42 grain adaptor on some GT Trads thru something this fall. God Bless
I worked for ACE for a little while when I got out of college. Some of the heads you guys are using may have been ones I made! I like that! They are great heads.
I am really a Zwicky man, but have killed some critters with Ace Super Express 200s. I like em. I will get a new bow in the mail this week and think that I will shoot them with it. They are killers for sure.
God Bless,
Nathan
Here's a few from this spring...I love my ACE heads!

Last Feb in Texas I sent this 160grn ACE head at a thick, old, weathered cow scapula. It split at 15 yds. The head was undamaged. I did how ever take the factory point down with a file prior to the shot. One tough head. For what it's worth.

Great last pic Mike.
And how did that cow bone taste? :p :archer:

I have some 200 grain heads that I plan to use this year that are on 100 grain steel adapters.
These are a couple Ace Express 165 kills. One of my all time favorite heads.

Don't have any pics yet, but all my hunting arrows are equipped with 160gr. Ace Standards. Hope to be able to post a few here in the next few weeks.
Don't know how to post a picture and I'm scared to try. Just got my 'puter back from the shop where I locked it up trying to send my buddy a picture from a trail cam. Anyhow, Ace Standard broadheads are one fine 2 blade! Many, many kills. Easy to sharpen, fly great, comes in a bunch of different weights, good bloodtrails and tuff as nails. What's not to like? :dunno:
Here are a few more recent ones...I love Ace heads! Bob and Jan are super folks.

Congrats to all of you! All nice animals here.
My puter broke too. I killed to big does last week with single bevel 200gr super express BH. They left a huge hole thru the ribs. Way bigger than a Zwickey. They are the easiest head to sharpen too. 3min each with a file and they will roll the hair off yer arm! The price is good too!!!
I just switched to ACE 160gr. because my bow seems to shoot much better with the heavier heads . Haven't had a shot yet but this thread gives me confidence in them .

Any more?

Good thread, I haven't killed anything yet with them, but my turkey missiles are sportin' some Standards ready for spring...
This was on election day last year. Ace 145 grain. It was also the first time I ever used them but certainly not the last. I shot the buck first and the doe 20 minutes later. Neither went very far and both left good blood. Great results that day...at least the hunting.

165 Ace express
Something I like about Ace broadheads if you call you can get them without a bevel at all I shot 200grain super express single bevels loved them
Yes they are great I've shot single bevel 200's and they will sharpen the trailing edge too. And you get a fancy aluminum ink pen with LED light too!
Just killed this nice hog with my Rob Green selfbow last month. I did not have any glue on broadheads, so Rob fixed me up with a couple Ace 125gr heads. It is the only critter I have shot with an Ace broadhead, and it performed flawlessly!

Do they not have a screw in broad head or at least a screw in adapter that can screw into current insert? Already have 100 grain inserts and didn't want to have to remove then use their adapters to try these heads. Thanks.
Dang Mr. Bisch you kill some critters! Congrats

They do not make a screw in head but easy to glue them to threaded adapters. What are you looking for in total weight?

TTT-There was a current thread about broadhead choice, Zwickey or Ace. Both are great proven broadheads. Here are some Ace broadhead harvest. It's a great thread that someone can maybe add some current Ace harvest.
