Amen on the broadhead sharpness issue. Even the replaceable blade heads get dull and need some attention also, especially if you practice with them. You would be amazed at the hunters that come to the ranch and shoot the practice bale, then put the same arrow in their quiver to go hunting with. Then they wonder why they don't have a good blood trail and have difficulty recovering their game. I harvested a black bear in Canada that was a very steep shot angle, upon entry of what looked like good arrow placement, the arrow glanced of a rib and went almost straight down, missing the lungs. However due to a razorsharp head cutting every blood vessel it encountered, the bear was down within about 500 yards even though it didn't pass through the vitals. Without the razorsharp blades, that bear would not have been recovered.
