In my opinion, the sharpness of your broadhead is more important than the type/brand and maybe even the size of a broadhead. Broadheads are meant to cut and I want to be sure mine are going to do just that. That's why I want a sturdy sharp blade. My Magnus Stingers fit the bill and so do the Slick Trick Mags I got this week.

Hmm whatever you think admin. Im sure not matter what type of tip you shoot and if its sharpened or not. But I think if your bows pushing enough FPS and kinetic energy no matter if they are sharp or not. Its still gonna cause massive bleeding.

How dull are we talking? If dull enough, you could very well get a pass through but not of the diameter your bh is, because of such a blunt force your making the initial hole, and then stretching the rest of the blade through, thus leaving a smaller hole, Plus all of the internal matter your "pushing" through rather than cutting.

Im not saying butter knife dullness but i mean even after shooting a deer with one you can use it again.

I am not calling anyone an idiot for of all people I have as much if not more then anyone to learn about deer and bow hunting. I apologise if I offended you in anyway. I was just stating that this site is awesome in the factthat the users will teach you where you are lacking informationand help you anyway they can.

And jjlem, I hope you are not directing this to me:

"That is a good explanation. Thats why I like this site. not only do you get called an idiot but at least you get a reach around with an explantion of why your an idiot."

I AM exploring a concept so that I can benefit from others knowledge.

I 100% disagree with you. A dull head no matter how fast it's traveling can push arteries and other blood vessels out of the way resulting in a very poor blood trail and worst case scenerio, a puncture wound. The sharper the head, the more cutting it's going to do.

Not without some honing(sp) I hope? Usea arm hair shaving blade every time, if it dont cut the hair on your arm, dont use it... JMO and for the record.... the jagged edge thing?... what does a jagged edge do? it tears, leaving "flaps" of skin to bond and clot.

Your kidding right? With that logic why not shoot a completely dull blade. Hell for that matter why should the broadhead makers even bother sharpening blades at all.You absolutely need as sharp a blade as you can possibly get if you want a quick kill and a fast recovery of the animal...END OF STORY!!!

Also, I am not saying use dull blades at all. When I head out I won't even use the BH's I used to practice with, brand new MX3's will be on the end of my arrows.
