The key to bleeding is the time that it takes for the wound to recover. A keen edge will cause the would to bleed out quickly as if the body itself didn't know it were compromised.

Constantly you hear, "Which broadhead" this, or "which broadhead" that? Any broadhead will be effective providing it causes bleeding. A magnus is as effective as a zwickey, a zwickey an eclipse, a zephyr and so on. Providing the edge is sharp.

I generally use a 6" mill b* (name supressed for PC reasons) file to remove any nicks in the edge then true hone it with an Arkansas stone, using honing oil to keep the filings raised from the stone and the blade cooled. Generally come October 1 my left forearm is somewhat bare of hair where normally I can compete with the chimpanzees.
