Default Those new Blood Runner Broadheads by NAP

Bought a pack of them last week. After shooting one I went to buy some replacement blades. OMG, they don't make any.
Now wouldn't you think after looking at them that they would have replacement blades? The site I bought them from called NAP and NAP said NOPE, we don't have them, and suggested that the customer resharpen them. What a crok of peeuuuu. Well NAP, you got my last $

Don't know if you have ever used Slick Tricks, but they sure fly just like your fieldtip, put animals down quickly, and have replaceable blades.

The things look like a golf ball with blades....The head looks way too thick to me. Looks like it would hurt with getting a pass through.

I believe sometimes we expect too much from outdoor companies. I mean how dare they ask someone to re-sharpen some blades? Why would that bother someone. When I buy new tires for my truck (and they cost a ton more than a broadhead), I don't believe that someone is responsible for pumping up my tires when they get low. We need to take some responsiblity and stop being so cheap and dependent on companies to handle problems unless our claims are valid.

Sure...but thats also like saying...I just bought a new Chevy truck...and Chevy doesn't make a starter for it...
In regards to putting out a BH without replacement blades....they should have known better.

Thats kinda weird that they dont make blades for them, but the broadheads do look crazy, i'd like to see how they work.

I like the Magnus 2 blades and never have to worry about replacing them. I shy away from blades you have to put together or replace from time to time.. So for me it is fixed blades anyways..
