I did a search and found nothing on how to re-shape the Woodsman tips. Can anyone point me in the direction I need to go? Thanks in advance for any info!!

All you need to do is raise the heel of the broadhead a little at the end of the stroke when sharpening. Two or three times and the needle tip is gone. You don't need to get radical with it for it to increase the strength a lot.

What Charlie said.  A few light strokes with a file will also do it.

After you have sharpened them, raise the heal and drag it along a file a few times and you will be ready.  Like Charley said, it doesn't take much

Why?  I believe theory, as often happens, its over riding Real world hunting results.

Every post I have reads something like: I shot the critter, he died quick with a great blood trial, which really was not needed because it died so fast.  However, looking at the tip of the Woodsman after picking it up from the ground after a complete pass thru, it had a slight bend in it.  This might affect penetration.  What should I do?

My advise is: NOTHING!  When I used them (switched to Eclipse 4 blades), I used both types of tips and had 80% complete pass thru's on deer with both type tips using a selfbow.  It its my belief that a properly tuned arrow has much more effect on penetration, and therefore lethality, then rather it has a "tanto" tip.

Being able to place the arrow where it should go is more important then

As Tim Ott once told me, "Walt, quit worrying about it,  dead its dead!
The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.
