Broadhead sharpening

The pro's are they are bullet proof, razor sharp, penetrate, and can be reused.

I tried them a few years back, shot one doe and then switched back to rages. It's only one data point, but the iron will passed through like butter, but left a small clean wound channel that did not leave much of a blood trail. I prefer a 1.75"+ gaping wound channel over penetration.

Again, it's just my experience with one whitetail, but I think they are better suited to larger/tougher game where penetration is more of a priority. I do still carry one in the quiver for an opportune shot on a hog.

Also they are kind of loud, but I went with the slotted design. The solid may be a little more quiet.

Looks like Ashby's way of broadheads.

I use a KME sharpener and would highly recommend it to anyone. You can adjust the bevel angle by just adding/removing a little painters tape to the rolling wheel. I have sharpened both cutthroats and VPAs on it and they are scary sharp. I use diamond stones - I forget the actual grits but it is about 4-5 different grits then finish by stropping on cardboard with a little compound on it. The twist rate of the single bevels with a 4 fletch helical is crazy. I shoot into a Rhinehardt BH target, and the arrow makes about 4 revolutions once it impacts the target. Bareshaft tune first and the BH should fly good. Just my 2 cents
