I found two packs of NOS Delta Sniper broadheads and two packs of the Delta Nubbins. Both are glue-one configurations and two blades.
I understand the Nubbins are 100 grains. What do the Snipers weigh?
Are they worth picking up for hunting? Leaning more towards the Snipers as they look sturdier, but harder to sharpen due to the curved edge. How well do they sharpen?

Follow up question....
Does anyone use the glue in/glue on broadhead adapters sold by Three Rivers?

I am thinking this is the way to go with these heads.

The glue in adapters would work fine.You just don't have the convenience of being able to remove the head to change out to a field point or blunt.The KME broadhead sharpener will take the fight out of sharpening any of them but it is far easier to use with the head removed from the arrow.

I use the low temp blue stick Ferr-L-Tite for all of my points and inserts so a bit of heat to the point and it loosens the glue enough to easily remove any inserts.

Do the curved blades make them harder to sharpen than a straight edge two blade?

I personally don't think it does but it may just depend on what you are used to.

IMO, there are far better BHs on the market. Both designs are very likely to have failures when impacting bone, any bone!
As for adapters. The smaller 35gr and 25gr screw ins worked OK for me. The ferrule on both heads aren't as true in roundness as other BHs and can be a challenge to get them to spin true.

Why do you say that? What makes them "very likely to have failures when impacting bone, any bone!".
Thanks.

They are designed off a Snuffer which w/ 3 blades the tip becomes pyramid in shape and is a lot stronger. I shot the Sniper and had less than desirable results w/ tip strength. IMO, if the made the tip portion of the BH solid all the way back to the tip of the ferrule, it would've improved the strength considerably.
They will do the job and I can attest to that but I have found better options IMO.
