I shoot mine in practice? They hit a lot of foam before they go after fur and blood? So it doesn't matter how they come from the package really.

I do hate when they advertise "razor sharp out the package" and they won't even shave hair. To think folks just take those hunting?

I like sharpening my own broadheads, and would prefer to get them a little less expensive (rather than paying more for pre-sharpened heads).  Granted, it took me awhile to get it down.

Have never used any other brand other than the old Bear razorheads since the late 1960's....so I guess I have to like sharpening my own.

I don't know, but I wonder if shipping razor sharp broadheads is a good idea. Would it create the need for a more secure (more expensive) packaging and perhaps increased shipping costs? What about insurance? Although not as good at it as some, for me, sharpening the heads is the final task in preparing for hunting season. Fortunately, I am getting better at it.
