I will buy new, but then again I am sponsered by G-5 so thats not fair. In my younger days I would still buy new, I don't think you can get the laser sharpness that the factor gives you.

I never sharpen my broadheads. I buy new for hunting and use the dull ones for practice.

Depends on the broadhead. If using replaceable blades just buy new. They are not expensive and you can't get them as sharp as they come from the factory.

Fixed blade, like a Montec, Magnus, etc. You can resharpen.

I've never seen a person be able to get G5 Striker or Thunderhead sharp heads doing them themselves.

I know they SAY they're are sharp, but I've never once seen it. Maybe the back of the blacde is, or the tip ...... but front to back, consitat ultra sharpness like a replaceable head ?

I've never seen it
