re: 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.
