I generally clean/do a quick resharp and use them when going after groundhogs and sometimes crows.

I break down the broadhead and clean it with an old toothbrush. If the tip is good I'll keep it on and I always replace the blades. I don't care how good they look, IMO it's the ethical thing to do. Once the ferul is clean and new blades are on, I screw on the tip or new tip depending on the situation and put it back on my GT. Then I have a "lucky" arrow for my next hunt.

For the record, Myzzy 125g 3 blade.

Happy hunting folks

I use 2-blade, cut on contact heads. So, I resharpen them and keep hunting. Even if they're bent, I'll try to straighten them out and reuse them. If they'll straighten, fine. If not, they get trashed.

Haven't used replaceable blade heads in ages. I'm a conservationist by nature, so I'm not much of a fan of stuff I can only use once and then throw it away. Except maybe toilet paper.[:-][8D]
