Default Anybody ever worry about this?

Whenever I put on my muzzy broadheads i use that little wrench but I also use a broadhead wrench on the blade part of it. I always worry about this dulling/chipping/bending the blade. I don' t like reef on it but I make sure it is tight and it makes clicking noises when it gets tight. Do you guys ever think this hurts it?

Little Nuge15...no, I don' t think your harming the broadhead in any way unless you really reef on it as you say you don' t....I' ve used Muzzy' s for more than 10 years and have never harmed one installing them on my arrows.

10 to 1 he was shooting one with an O ring that had broke, this is one of the reasons I use spitfires, no O ring and I have never had one open prematurely.

Using the wrench and risking a nick in the blades (which is unlikely) is far preferable to not using the wrench and risking a trip to the emergency room to get your fingers stitched up.

I' m on your side about the mechanicals. After experimenting with the things, I decided I can live without them too.

Taz I was seriously looking at the spitfires for some time but I just couldn' t convince my self that if i got a shoulder shot that the mechanical would penetrate. Any input on that factor?

2 seasons ago an arrow fell out of my quiver with a 100g thunderhead on it. Out of reflex or stupidity i automatically grabbed at the arrow shaft. I grabbed to high and the broadhead slid right thru my fingers. I picked up the arrow and put it back in the quiver when i relized my new red sleeve. I sliced thru that flap of skin between my thumb and index finger. As soon as i saw it, it hurt like heck, funny how that works.... anyways.... i dont think the wrench will mess up a broadhead
by the way, ive used mechanicals ever since
