Tusker broadheads

Some metal has a longer grain in it, as it was explained to me by an engineer at an area parts maker for the military, and some metal has short grain that acts more like glass. I like metal that gets almost a soap feel under the file when the edge is flat. To my surprise those those cheap sell off Ribtecs have that kind of metal and they hold a sharp edge as well as anything.

I've been bowhunting almost 40 tears now. Then, broadhead sharpening was part of the whole experience. Seems like now opening a package, for most, has taken it's place. It's really pretty sad.

I admire people who get satisfaction from sharpening, arrow making, etc. for me spending 2 hours sharpening (or I should say grinding down to a sharpenable edge) on a new package of broadheads in mid-November is not fun!

Different strokes for different generations, why would you wait till November to be sharpening broadheads?
I'm building arrows and sharpening broadheads in January and February getting ready for October.
I'm not judging or knocking I'm just saying.

This is getting a little ridiculous. I can sharpen my broadheads just fine, but to act like there is an advantage to a broadhead being more difficult to sharpen is a little silly.

I had some Astecs, and killed a couple of hogs with them....I also had some Concords that I got REALLY sharp...so sharp I wouldn't sleep in the same house with them....fraid they would get up in the middle of the night and kill me.

I gave those Concords to a fiend of mine as he has surgery and had to drop down in weight.

Did my bevel leveling on a belt sander....and normal sharpening from their with a Jewel Stic.

Have you ever killed 4 deer, one hog, and two coyotes in a week? The same week I missed 3 coyotes in a day, all hit rocks Lol I had to buy new ones

Michael,
That's some serious shooting, I'm not in that target rich an environment....

MikeNova · March 16, 2017, 07:41:00 PM

I failed to put a sharp edge on the Concords instead I put a scimitar tip on it. I'm just bad at sharpening. But each model has a bloody sharp version. pre sharpened. Hey Terry those heads will do to a hog what those Clemson tigers did to the sec right!?!?
