I know a sharp edge is needed. But just how long will a sharp edge stay extra sharp? The quiver will take off some of the fine edge as soon as you put the broadhead in some type of quiver. Then there is the other factor that will take off the razor sharp edge.

I always think about the ribs in the way of the heart and lungs. There is only one way in with the broadhead that the fine edge is not dulled by the ribs. There is no way to keep the broadhead edges parallel with the ribs.

So the fine scaple sharp edge is more then likely to be dulled a little as it goes in toward the heart and lungs. So, the extra work that is put in never reaches the heart.

I pose this because I want to know just how much of a sharp edge is really needed. Not trying to start anything but to get some info on how long should I work on the broadhead. Sharp or razor, scary sharp.

I get my broadheads sharp and sometimes leave the feather edge on the blade so the ribs will take it off as the arrow goes thru. Then what is left should still be sharp. No I have not tried this on myself to see what happens. Just want others opinions and thoughts on this.
