I have read that thing a few times...then looked at the top of the page to see it was a BUCKMASTER article..........LOL[:-][

The same outfit that tried to sell me a vacume cleaner............now pushing bh sharpeners
YES sharp broadheads are important........but at what point is it overkill.....and has no effect on bh performance.
. I have been keeping records of how far my bow-shot game traveled after the shot. In the last 10 years the average has been about 30 yards
30 yrd average??? Unless he has many spine shots thrown in there I don’t buy it. Or is he so lucky that his 2 blade bh always misses ribs and they walk off for 30 yds. If they are walking is it his super sharp heads or the fact that he shoots 2 blades???
A deer running will cover 30 yds in about 4 seconds……….they don’t die that quick on average.
I call bull on the double lung, and center punched heart survivors……I call bull on the 30 yd average drop.
That’s 3 easy bulls in one article….IMO….he has an agenda…he is selling something.
Most double lung / heart shot deer die in about 20 seconds or less. That’s about 100yds or less travel time. Coagulation is not a major factor in this time frame – there just is not enough time for the cells to respond and release the proteins needed to start coagulation.
I also feel there is a ceiling effect when it comes to bh sharpness. There is a point where it just doesn’t make a difference.
Yes Rockets are the some of the least sharp blades on the market…..but IMO they will kill a deer just as dead and in the same time frame as the same head super sharpened.
Dull is bad….Sharp is good. But super sharp is not needed to the extent this guy states.
