damage to re-use a broadhead?
I use Grim Reaper 3 blade fixed broadheads. I put one through a doe last weekend and upon cleaning and inspection of it last evening, I noticed the tip is a little bit damaged from the impact. The blades themselves are fine and sharpened up nicely with the Sharpmaker.
What do you guys do - one deer and off to the practice squad with it or do you sharpen them up and straighten them out and put them back in service?
I'm confident the blades will cut, but I'm slightly worried about the tip in terms of both aerodynamics and penetration ability.
