"Guys kill 2-3 deer with the same head. They shoot them into the dirt, clean them off, and put them back in the quiver. It happens."

Sorry Quick, but this falls into the category of two wrongs don't make a right. If you shoot an animal with a non-replacement blade broadhead, it needs to be re-sharpened. If you shoot an animal with a replacement blade head, the blades should be replaced in most cases. If you shoot a broadhead into the dirt, see either step 1 or 2 above. Not saying it doesn't happen...but it justifies nothing. It is all about being responsible. Really the same argument for taking only high percentage shots...can you kill a deer with a hard quartering to angle? Maybe, sometimes, possibly, hope so...not good answers. Shooting a sharp broadhead is like waiting for the correct shot angle...it expotentially increases the probability for a quick, clean kill. Don't know how to say it any better. At any rate, good luck this season.


Okay I have to put my input into this post. Do I believe you need sharp broadheads~YES! Do I believe people fall into the trap of needing to buy new blades everytime they shoot through a deer or into the ground~YES THEY DO!!

Its a money gimmick guys, if a broadhead is not made durable and sharp enough to stay sharp after a pass thru shot or even into the dirt then they are JUNK JUNK JUNK!!! I do buy b-heads about every year but if I shoot a deer I am damned if I am going to spend the money on new blades after I have shot through a deer, the blades are not gonna dull out that much!

Heres the way I look at it, do you sharpen your knife every time you gut a deer~ Probably? but if you happen to forget is it going to be sharp enough to do it again?~ Probably?
A broadhead blade is thinner I know generally a razor blade and realistically how long can you you use your razor knife without having to wory about cutting yourself?? A long time!!!!

Sorry had to vent a lil' Good luck guys!!!
