Broadhead Tip

I don't know if you can see this on the picture,but the tip is bent. These are new broadheads that I'm getting glued on for a hunt. I spun it and thought I had it on crooked,but the closer I looked at it I realized it was bent just a little. I went and shot it to see if it flew straight,and it flew great. It just bugs the heck out of me. Would any of you try to hammer it out? It would take just a tap. I'm thinking of leaving it alone and using it as a jack rabbit head since it seeems to fly good. The other five are really straight.

Yes I use a leatherman pliers every year to bend a broadhead tip back if it has a small bend in the tip - l won’t hunt with a broadhead unless it spins perfectly true - yours looks like an easy fix

The damage is so small it might go away during sharpening.
What the heck is that head? For the life of me I can't make it out.

The whole thing from the tip of the ferrule to the tip is bent to the right. I think if I layed it on a hard surface and tapped it I would be all right. It flies great so I'll use it for rabbits.
It's an Ace standard straight edge Charlie. I like it because of the sharpening ease of the straight edge,and it's an inch and 5/16 cut.

Yep, a
light tap or two with it laid on a flat surface should take care of it. Couldn't hurt!
It's a good head. I've used a ton of those... mostly a long time ago. I'd make em wicked sharp with a file.
