I dont hear people going crazy about sharpening them like the Grizzlys... are they easier than a Griz? Looks like they ought to be about the same...

I use the same methods as a Grizzly but find they sharpen up much quicker for me.

my quiver will be full of them and 1 judo come this fall.

Ernie,
I recently set some No Mercy's Single Bevels & Grizzlies up for a customer. They sharpened up easily.  Definately easier than the Grizzlies.   After doing some side by side shooting of the No Mercy's and Grizzlies here is what he reported back to me.
He is shooting carbons so both heads were fitted with screw in adapters.  The 135 gn No mercy's have 75 gn steel inserts and the 160 gn Grizzlies have 35gn adapters.  So the No Mercy set up is 15 grains heavier. We used weight tubes on both set ups and used a heavier tube on the grizzly set up to make them equal. They are with in 2 grains of each other now.
As far as penetration into a broadhead target he is getting about an inch more with the No Mercy's.  Flight is great with both.  He has decided to go with the No Mercy's.   He likes the wider cutting path and the fact he is getting better penetration.

The short time that I got to play with them is this The No Mercy that I bought were left wing the Grizzly that I have is right wing. Both flew great the No Mercy had 100 grain steal insert the Grizzly had regular 30 grain insert Penetration was a little better with the No Mercy. Sharpening was easer with the No Mercy because it was left wing might be the reason I always had trouble with Grizzly they were ass backwards......stabow

There is a tutorial thread in the "How-To/Resources section with photos showing how to sharpen Zwicky's, I used the process with my Lansky on the single bevel No Mercy, they are super sharp.
No experience hunting yet, but they do fly nice!
Much easier than sharpening Grizzlys
