Maineac...
If I shoot the 165's they would be either glued to the aluminum or steel broadhead adapter then screwed into a standard Gold tip aluminum insert. 190's just screwed in.

I use the the Chris Spikes method of sharpening...  you can find it on youtube...  ace broadhead holder and a 3 sided jewel stik.

Yea, I'm thinking about switching as well and had sharpening questions. Can't wait to see how you do  it Daniel. I remember you used a Rada sharpener for some of it.

I'm going to use the 165 glue on tree shark with steel adapter next year but have not killed anything with them yet. I have been shooting them at targets a lot and also torture tested them by shooting though things to test durability and penetration. Sometimes they went through targets into the ground and sometimes I miss and hit the ground. So they have been dulled! But it's easy to sharpen them... I have been sharpening broadheads for a while with a 1"x30" belt sander from Harbor Freight and a series of sharpening belts. The final belt is leather with stropping compound. It takes just a little finesse to cover the contour but it's learned on the first try. You can put marker on the edge to keep the factory bevel. In minutes you have a mirror edge that will pop hair. Touch up later only needs the leather belt.
I'm really looking forward to using them for deer. They quickly do a lot of damage to targets.

I do all my sharpening with a set of sharpening wheels on my grinder. Simple and easy once you get the touch.

Chris. That is one unbelievable entry hole. How far did it go? I'm guessing not far.

[maineac]

Got it.  I just didn't understand the overhang you were talking about.  I ave set that have yet to meet flesh I glued on 100 grain adapters.  Have some on some surewood shafts as well.  Someday I'll get to see what they can do.

Awesome bud I appreciate the video. I got the Rada and the paper wheel sharpening system. Ordered 3 centaur big game heads as well as 3 treesharks. Gonna try em both.

Highlow, you would be surprised. That doe actually went 220 yards! angled back and only got one lung. not exactly hard to follow though,...

One devasting wound channel.

In my experience the glue-on's are the way to go.  When I shot game with the screw-in's the rear portion that overhangs the arrow shaft would pick up a slight bend, even on rib hits that were a pass through. The only downside to the Glue-on's was it took some time to get them glued on to an adapter straight.  The Centaur's have way better tolerances.  No problems getting them to spin straight.  Keep in mind all of the simmons I had were purchased before Dave took over the business.
