What is the best test to determine whether a broadhead is ready to go hunting?  Shaving, paper, rubberbands, etc?  Have heard many different ideas, and wondering which ones you guys use.

I usually have bald arms when I am ready to use my heads...

My wife says you can always tell when hunting season is close, cause my legs have bald spots.  It grows back, right Griz?

Jake, my forearms look the same!!

i got a few cuts by accident......my parents thought i was emo!!!!
lol

When it works like a cabinet scraper on my thumbnail.

Cut a rubber band effortlessly. Like an artery.

My wife gripes about my hairless legs but she won't let me use hers.

Ah, Mark, to be a fly on the wall in your house. That right there was funny, man!  

When I drop it on the second floor and have to go to the basement to get it, it's sharp enough.

Rubberbands and shaving. I have bald spots on my forearms right now after sharpening broadheads for Africa.

Curveman is right, use a rubberband but don't stretch it too tight.

I think cutting a rubber band easy is plenty sharp enough for hunting.I am like most of you however and not really satisfied untill I have bald spots on my arms and legs.  

Accidentally fall on it. If you feel it going in it isn't sharp enough.  
Ok in all seriousness, If they cleanly shave dry hair(the hair should either "pop" off or ball up) they are sharp enough to hunt with; but touch them up after testing by stroping them.
