So THAT'S why chisel tips are better...

I hear guys talking about paper tuning...  so I was just giving it a try...

I do mine like Rob's pic.....like I said, it doesn't take much as you still want a sharp point on your Bhead.

Terry, I see you took the back corners off of the blades, too.  Any specific reason why?

Archie I believe that picture is of a head Terry modified for bunnies. He took the back corners off to make the heads easier to pull out of a back quiver.

D, there is a huge difference in the points on a snuffer and woodsman.  I have shot snuffers into 4 by 4's, hickory trees, and a bunch of other things, mostly on purpose 8>), to try and see if I could bend them, and have yet to curl a tip.  If I were shoooting the Woodsman broadheads I would definately tanto tip it.  God Bless

Oh....I should have stated...those are my small gamers.....and angling off those corners make them come out of a back quiver very easy as compared to them being stock. If left stock, they drag pretty hard and also catch on any 'lip' at the top of the quiver.

I have been on a few hunts where we hunt hogs and javies AND bunnies....and I put my real Bheads in my bow quiver and my small game heads in my back quiver....that way I don't get my bheads for the larger animals mixed up....once the big critters are spotted, I drop the back quiver all together for the stalk.

I once shot an antelope using a 2 blade head with the factory,needle tip and the tip curled,drastically affecting penetration.I was very lucky to be able to stalk within range and get a second arrow in him.That was a hard lesson and I have never hunted with a tip like that again.

We used to clip the points off Bear Razorheads but I didn't like it because you couldn't spin the arrow to check alignment.I always like to check alignment after shooting any broadhead arrow.For that reason,I had stopped clipping them and it caused a situation with that antelope.A big mistake on my part and I want no repeats of that.

Anyway,these days I would use a tanto tip on any 2 or 4 blade and if I ever switch to 3 blades,I'm sure I would file a small pyramid,just to be safe.

I like to use a tip alignment jig to get my broadhead perfectly aligned before I do any tip filing.Then after filing on the tip,I check it again on the jig to make sure I didn't file it off center.

A curled tip not only can drastically affect arrow penetration,it can steer it off course.Either one of those things can cause serious issues and it is easily prevented.

Great demo/info guys! I have seen this before on my practice woodsman broadheads but thought I had hit a rock or something similar. Ive had my snuffers do it a little also.
