Sharp???

[SELFBOW19953]

Which broadhead is better, shaving sharp with a file or shaving sharp with a stone (I can shave with me file sharpened Snuffers)?

whichever one is shot through the lungs!

file,stone,then strop.Then you can give a gnat a vasectomy.

When you are scared to touch the edge its sharp enough. Stropping withleather on a smooth stoned edge is the best. This micro fine edge will not close up as fast as a filed edge wound will. That said a double lung usually soes the trick with a file sharp edge buttttttttttttt. I have seen an elk bleed out with a briscut hit when the arrow never touched the vitals or major blood vessles. That was with a scaple sharp edge. It just never quit bleeding.

I like them edges to be as close to a mirror/micro fine finish as I can get. If you a scared of how sharp they are you are there.

Shaving sharp is shaving sharp doesn't matter how you got there.  Its like going to the store in a VW bug or on a bicycle you still end up at the store.

Danged if I didn't pay a lot of money for those dumb college credits I don't use, but every biology course I took made the point that a clean cut will continue to bleed longer than a ragged cut.

Stands to biological rationale that if you cut a critter with a raggedy edge file sharp blade that tears the edges of the veins, arteries and venules, it's going to "clot up" faster than ones cut with a polished edge, given they're both the same "sharpness" if that is possible.

Now having said that, I've seen near wars started over that question so I'm going to duck and cover!      :eek:

Thanks, Doc, that's the type info I was hoping for.  And yes, with a double lung hit, it doesn't matter.  Sometimes I don't quite make that shot.
