I agree with you there, TJ. 100% !!! The problem is.. we practice an art. Which is known largely to a select majority in the age group of 45 plus. I can't imagine using a broadhead I didn't hand file and sharpen myself. But.. different time, things change. I had a guy ask me one day, does that longbow have enough KE to actually kill a deer? It was not the first time, I got the usual, "you hunt with that"? Which only expresses to me how little most bowhunters today know. And they know nothing but the compound. I do however, go out on a limb in my hunter education classes, and I am very explicit about NOT to use mechnical heads. For the obvious reasons and experiences you describe. BTW... I hope the guy went out and bought a recurve!
