Fellow bow brothers- I’m not online for a couple of days and a revolution occurs- to use our real boring names instead of the fruits of our imaginations and inspiration. So be it, I accede, but I think we should sign our posts with our assumed names- I mean, no more StandingBear or Greattreearcher or snuffernot- God forbid!
As to broadhead names I guess I’ll have to favor the “Bert” now- the deadliest bh of the planet, able to blow through bone and cut flesh like s@&* thru a short dog!- just kidding, Patrick’s the Attila or perhaps the “Hun” for it’s simplicity would be appropiate.
About sharpening, the straight edge is certainly easier but the elliptical or convex head is no harder than your knife which unless you have a Wharncliffe has a pronounced curve towards the point- get a KME and forget about it. Personally I rarely shoot my hunting broadheads because I dedicate one head and arrow for practice only, and since they are all built matching as close as possible, wear and tear on the “real” heads is minimized.
We’re just going to have to get Dr. Ed Ashby back so he can test both heads in the real world- You’re going down Dave!!
Thanks Daniel!- we had some ideas but he is the craftsman putting it all together and all kudos to him.
