Does anyone want to do a group buy for Simmons Broadheads?

I'm looking to buy some Simmons broadheads and as far as i can tell i have to order them directly from Simmons out of the states. Shipping is a flat rate $34USD when I tried to do a checkout.

Just wondering if anybody who was looking to try the Simmons as well would want to go in on it and save some money on shipping. I'M in Airdrie.

Yeah shipping and the exchange rate is terrible now

What's a guy to do? I used to go to the states maybe 4 times a year but haven't been since my kids were born.

Just looked up their heads as I never heard of them. This single sentence on their page would have me looking at other broadheads.

* Simmons weight tolerance on all heads is +/- 15grs. of advertised weight.

I would never buy broadheads with that sloppy of tolerances

That’s is so unacceptably low weight tolerance.

Not sure if this matters - but this design looks very similar to the Kudu broadheads which are widely available in Canada.

I cannot speak for the Simmons - but I have had excellent luck with the Kudu's, both in accuracy and performance.
I prefer the Countour Plus with the extra bleeders myself.

Yikes! I’m with you on that.. 1-2 generally grains is ok 15gr is A LOT

Be that as it may, I can't see it being of much consequence on a 30 yard shot on the end of a 650 grain arrow?

Also from what I have heard from people who actually use them, is that the weight may deviate from the advertised weight by 15 grains but that all three heads in each package will be much closer than that to each other. Almost like they sort them before they send them out.
