Ron isnt making the heads but simply sharpening them, that being said I'm sure there are still some heads out there that where packaged before KME started sharpening them.  I know Ron has spent countless hours coaching people over the phone on sharpening both knives and broadheads, for sure one of the most selfless men I have ever met.  If Ron got me to get things sharp he is truley the man! Keep up the good work Ron, you got a great thing goin.

I'd call them about it and send them back if that's the case. 3Rivers has excellent customer service am sure they would make it right.

I haven't bought any yet. I would rather have the KME sharped heads, so I would know the bevels would be good and flat.

When I started reading this thread I thought "No Way" do we have old stock unless it is the "out there" weights. When 175gr and 200gr were listed I check the shelf just to make sure I was right.

Long behold, I found just a few 3-packs that were non-KME sharpened. Not many, and must have been mixed in the stock some how a while ago.

If you look at the back of the package, up by the pop out used to hang packs (the rounded corner triangle) can you tell me if it has any numbers stamped? If not, they are pre-KME. If they have numbers stamped, then they are KME sharpened.

mine has no numbers on the back of the back by the triangle that you use to hang it. it appears that mine were not sharpen by KME but i already knew that when i open the pack.

Why don 't you just learn how to sharpen the bh's yourself?

Lets say you got "pre-sharpened" heads, what were you going to do when you dulled one up and needed to re-sharpen??

i do know how to sharpen them. i killed a doe with one tonight. i am resharpening right now. i am not mad at 3 rivers or anyone . was just disappointed when they were not close to being shaving sharp out of the pack as advertised. seems i'm not the only one. may they can removed the old ones from stock and problem solved.

The pre sharpend heads would just be easier to work with. Before you would have to make alot of passes on a file just to get the bevels flat.
