I would visually check the broadhead, and all components for any damage and check and the arrow in a spin tester with the broadhead attached. If it passed the visual and spin test I would then shoot it at varies hunting ranges to determine accuracy.

If it does not pass any one of the test, I would discard it. If it passes all the test I would sharpen it as the final step after it has been shot in any target.

This is what I do before each hunting season:

I weigh all my broadheads and all components and assemble the ones which are the closest in weight.
Then I weight the final arrow with all components in place to assure I have at least 6 arrows within 3 grains.
Next I number the them for idenification and test them on the spin tester to assure each broadhead is seated properly, thus no wobble.

Finally I take them to the range to shoot, Shoot a few arrows for sight adjustments and make a chart for each numbered arrow and record the result of each arrow individually.

At this point I replace the blades with new blades and put the arrows which perform best in my quiver and store the remainder in a safe place.

Good Luck
