broadhead question
I bought a pack of broadheads (G5 Strikers) and i have shot all of them in the woods. Not at a deer yet, but at fox, yote, and groundhog. My question is should i buy some new broadheads sice they have all been shot through animals, or should they be fine to take a deer? One seems to have a little chip out of one of the blades, and they are not as sharp as they once where.

RE: broadhead question
The rule on broadheads as far as I'm concerned is they are done! You CANNOT shoot a once shot broadhead through a deer UNLESS you either sharpen them or change out the blades for new ones. There is no excuse not to use razor sharp blades.
I'm glad you asked this question before using them again. DO NOT use them unless you change the blades or resharpen them to factory or better than factory sharp.
A broadhead once shot be it through an animal or into even foam should NEVER be used for big game.

RE: broadhead question
You should never shoot a broadhead at any animal that isn't as sharp as it can possibly be. So if you like these heads i would suggest that you go buy new blades, then its time to kick the tires and light the fires!!

RE: broadhead question
This is along the lines of the originators question....if he decides to sharpen the blades, what is a good re-sharpener? I ask this because I have just thrown away the broadheads in the past and bought new. It would definitely be cheaper to re-sharpen a blade that isn't too damaged.
