Q: How well have these heads performed in hunting situations? Do they get good or poor penetration, do they handle hitting bone well? I've read about how well they fly and how hard they are to sharpen. But I have not seen anything on how well they work on animals. If anyone has any information I'd appreciate it. Thank you, Richard Asked on 10/17/2012 by Richard from San Antonio, Tx Know the answer? Answer this question 6 answers A: Have taken a few deer with them and they did great I don't find them hard to sharpen I use a diamond type stick that I got from 3 rivers Sent from my iPhone Answered on 10/22/2012 by Mad Dog mahoney from detroit lakes Minnesota A: These heads penetrate very, very well. Test one out on your block target or similar dense backing and take a look. With a wood shaft providing the weight, you will probably get at least the point through a rhinehart if you're drawing a 70 pound bow. Its enough to pierce ribs easily. I can't speak for what will happen if you clip a shoulder, though. I hope this helps. Answered on 10/17/2012 by Dwimmerlak from California A: I killed a good sized pig with one early this year. The howard hill broadhead I sharpened with a file which left some fine "teeth" on the edge. I was shooting a 60 lb. draw longbow and the range to the pig was about seven yards. The pig was around 175 lbs. and trotting by. The arrow struck his left side behind the shoulder and penetrated completely through the thick hide on both sides (about 3/4" thick hide on the shoulders) and the point end of the arrow was sticking out about ten inches on his right side. We trailed the pig for about 150 yards and found him dead. Within about ten yards of the shot we started finding good drops of blood, which increased to a steady stream of blood flow shortly before we found him. I am happy so far with the performance of this broadhead, hopefully will have more experience with it soon. - Jason Cleveland, TX Answered on 10/17/2012 by Anonymous A: The long ratio gives these heads great penetration. The overall design helps to strengthen the tip and reduce curling. As long as you can sharpen them they are a great head. Answered on 10/17/2012 by Justin from 3Rivers Archery A: Sharpening can be a bit of a nuisance, but this long, narrow design penetrates incredibly well. It’s thick enough up front and supported strongly enough by the ferrule to keep bending or curling to a minimum. Not necessarily a bone splitter always, but it was okay for elephants.... Answered on 10/17/2012 by Anonymous A: I just switched to these heads and so far I love them once you get an edge on them they stay like a razor and the fly great. I haven't got a chance to hunt with ten yet but I have heard they are fantastic. Answered on 10/17/2012 by Anonymous
Q: I have some old 160 grn broadheads and have never been able to put a sharp edge on them. Is there a specific technique to sharpening these broadheads? Asked on 10/10/2012 by Gun from San Antonio, Tx Know the answer? Answer this question 6 answers A: I am going to give a nontraditional answer to this which some may find objectionable. These broadheads do not have to be razor sharp to do the job on hog or deer. Most of them will penetrate well right out of the box. It is the design and weight of this broadhead that gets the work done. I have taken large hogs out of a fifty pound bow at 20 yards with fir arrows, one with a shoulder shot that penetrated six inches out the far shoulder using heads much less than razor sharp. That said, I do work them lightly with a file maintaining the factory angle but they are far from shaving razors. You hit what you are supposed to hit, they work as well as any broadhead. Answered on 10/31/2012 by tracker from florida A: I use a narrow diamond hone, these days. (3/4” wide x 4”long, Medium grit) Sitting with the hone on my right thigh, (I’m right handed) I simply grip the arrow shaft and slowly pull the blade across the hone as I would sharpen a knife. I keep just enough angle on the broadhead to clear the ferrule. I sharpen one side pretty heavily, then use just a few light strokes to de-bur on the opposite side. Answered on 10/17/2012 by Anonymous A: I was thoroughly unimpressed with the factory edge that came on these broadheads. The blades had literal flat spots on the cutting edge. The instructions that were sent with the broadheads were of absolutely no help. I ended up taking a Dremel tool, and a coarse, and then fine sanding wheel to them. I got a serviceable edge, but not a super, razor sharp one. Again, I used a sanding drum attachment, not a grinding wheel. Probably would not buy these again, but they do look classic. Answered on 10/11/2012 by Anonymous A: If you are having difficulties with a file try the CC sharpener. That will allow you to get a pretty good edge on them. Just clean them up with a leather strop afterwards and you should be good to go. Answered on 10/11/2012 by Justin from 3Rivers Archery A: HH heads are tough to get razor sharp.... Best to use the traditional approach of filing to a smooth edge and then using the file edge to "rake" serrations. Serrated heads kill very effectively! Sent from my iPad Answered on 10/10/2012 by Anonymous A: You can take a china dinner plate that has a dry foot in the bottom. That's the part that touches the table. Then put the broad head on a shaft spin to make sure it's straight then stroke over the foot of the plate keeping the angle correct. Do both sides. After u feel it's fairly sharp give it one stroke on both sides. Be well. Maddog Sent from my iPhone Answered on 10/10/2012 by Mad Dog mahoney from detroit lakes Minnesota
