Are the woodsman elites hunting sharp out of the box? And how do they match up against vpa's?

Well at least it's not hunting season (not missing any deer time in the woods)

LBshooter2---The Woodsman Elites are sharp, but not SHARP out of the box.  That is, they recommend additional sharpening prior to hunting.  In this case, I had actually not even sharpened this one yet!  :eek:  

I can only image hat damage I would have done if truly sharpened.

And to everyone else, Yes . . . "Ouch!"    :knothead:

Ugh. I almost did that once when I was a kid. I just so happened to look down when I stepped saw it and jumped off my opposite foot. I got lucky.  I barely touched it. I always think of that for some reason 30 yrs later.
Heal up fast!

How far did you go and did you leave a good blood trail?  Can you step on a four blade with your other foot so we can make a comaparison?  Okay, okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...I couldn't resist.  Looks like something I would've done.  Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Dang Kingsnake!!!!.....  :scared:

I'm pretty sure I personally sharpened that BHD myself and I know it was shaving hair before it went into the pack. The edge may have degraded slightly but man...now I almost feel guilty. Very sorry buddy. I hope it heals up fast for you.

Thanks for all the get-well thoughts and the much-deserved ribbing.  I got out back and slung a few arrows this evening, but I wasn't quite in the zone to feel good about it.  I can probably get my shooting in shape between now and Sept 1, but I am concerned about my cardio and my hiking ability.  We shall see!

Oh, and Ron . . .the only reason I said the broadhead wasn't hunting sharp is because the info on the pack said I should add a little extra edge.  My foot and I thought it as PLENTY sharp.   ;)
