Default do you re-use...

lets say you miss a deer/coyote/or anything else and you brand new broadhead just goes into the ground. Do you reuse the broadhead on a deer?, or do you think it would be too dull. I shoot thunderhead 100 grains.

I would tend to think it would be fine to use them on a deer.

I wouldn't, thats why I carry four arrows two the stand with me. I would wait till I got home then replace the blades and sharpen the tip. Just my .02

If the blades are still sharp, why not..if there is any hint of dullness, I would not re-use and would sharpen/replace the head.

Ifit can still shave your arm hair, fire away! If not, quiver it up until you get home.

If it can be sharpened again or if its still plenty sharp you sure could! If your broadhead is damaged bad from just dirt, time to get a different brand of heads.

Usually I will re use it if it is still sharp.

NEVER reuse a broadhead after a single shot UNLESS you resharpen or change the blades.
