I am pretty picky and have some weird superstitions etc. I will only use a broadhead once. If it goes into an animal it has done its job and i retire it for use in target shooting. I don't bother with sharpening, replacing blades, more of a confidence thing to me to have a brand spankin new broadhead on the shaft. It doesn't cost me much because i do not shoot that much. I take an elk and possibly one buck with the bow a year. Does i take with the rifle and save my other buck tag for the november rifle season.
