I don't know what broadhead was used. My butcher gave the skin to me. The holes were hardly visible when the skin was green. After I tanned it and it dried, The holes opened up from shrinkage. I thinned the skin pretty well but the wire wheel really took it to the next level. I bet your Dad could really improve his that way. Run it on the skin one direction, then switch direction and keep going. Get rather aggressive with it. It will get VERY fuzzy at first and fly in the air. Do it outside, it makes a hell of a mess. When the fuzzy look starts to go away and the skin gets smooth, you are done. The skin will get a whole lot more flexible then. If you see black spots, you are burning through and seeing the hair folicles. I'll warn you though...it takes a long time, but it is worth it in the end. It takes a skin that is hard and yellow and makes it soft and white.
