Since I shoot fixed I would have to sharpen them.

I generally just spend the $7 for blades, but I don't mind sharpening them either. I just figure that sometimes the blades aren't able to be sharpened and the cash is worth my time. :D

A very successful bowhunter once told me, he prefers less than razor sharp broadheads. not dull, but not brand new, believing a surgical cut from a sharp broadhead can cause less bleeding or the wound to seal up better since its a perfect slice, rather have a jagged cut/ or one forced through than cutting through. Something to consider, Now i dont worry about having a brand new broadhead thats razor sharp, usually keep a few for ongoing practice, then switch over to soem new ones and take a few shots, then use, so theyre not brand new after hitting the target a few times, but not worn either.
The guy that told you that is <<edited>>.... sorry ... to blunt ... he is incorrect


The sharper, the better ..... this is a pet peeve of mine ...... if the blade is not super sharp, it can actually push an artery away instead of slicing it ...... it will ALWAYS promote MORE blood flow ... not less

I buy replacement blades. If the money is a problem, I figure I got bigger problems at that point:)
