I bought them in 200grn. They are a great looking head. Definitely look robust. But… they day after they came they released the Tuffhead RF200. I promptly exchanged them. I only shoot 53# and figured the blade angle of the RF would benefit me in penetration. I do have 1 major complaint about them and that’s that they don’t all have the threads oriented the same. 2 of three are the same and 1 is totally different. My iron wills are all exactly the same when threaded on an arrow. Maybe it’s because they are so new. I didn’t ever screw on the evos.
I just bought both to compare. I'm gunna go with the iron wills. The Tuffheads really ticked me off because of the piss poor machining and how they sharpened them. Every single TH has a different bevel angle. 1 head is probably as low as 25 degrees and the other is probably well into the 30s. That head I actually have to use the high angle spacer on my KME broadhead sharpener.
Then I'm assuming they use a buffing wheel on a bench grinder, because every heads bevel is concave. You can see on this head how the cutting edge and top is cut but not the middle. Then on bottom of the blades there's huge burrs left from when they machined the head. On top of that they put a coating on them that must be removed to properly sharpen anyway.
The Iron Wills have the same exact bevel angle. Every head. There's no burrs whatsoever. They came much sharper out of the box and the way they were ground or honed did not leave a concave bevel in anyway.
I was afraid the tanto tip was going to be difficult to sharpen, but the kme jig made it effortless.
Only thing I like more about the Tuffheads is they're all one piece and they have a good bit wider cut.
As for bleeders I don't use them. I think the entire point, goal, and purpose of SBs is maximum penetration above all else and all a bleeder does is help hinder that
