eflanders.... Mike has not, I repeat, NOT, walked away from the broadhead side of the business.
He has sold the Original Snuffer and MA series heads but retained the Stainless Snuffers, Stinger and Buzzcut, Bullhead and has gotten into a camo clothing line as well.

You heard wrong, bud!

Do you have any more info on the low poundage benefits? I'm curious. I'm shooting mid 40s

i just sharpened up a very dull buzzcut. used my kme knife sharpener and its shaving hair right off and popping rubber bands.  sharpen it like any other head. the serrations are not like a knive or saw.   also penetration wise i doubt you will see a difference in penetration. i had both and they penetrated the same.

I use both the buzz's and the plains and I sharpen both on a simmons clamp sharpener which is done exactly the same as the plain blade,, the serrateds do feel sharper to thr touch though..

I also agree with the wound channel theory advice some have mentioned,,,I think every single broadhead from every brand needs to be touched up to get to the proper sharpness and I don't care how sharp they think it is..     Also I do believe there is alot more blood that will bleed out alot longer with a fine cut from a smooth razor sharp blade,,,, even non lethal flesh wounds bleed forever it seems..
