Ever since switching to the VPA broadheads I have had my best season by far. I have never been good at sharpening but in just a minute I can get a VPA 3 blade shaving sharp with a diamond file, so far I am 4 for 4 two turkeys earlier this year with the same head, 1 1/8" and I bought some 1 1/4" this year for deer, and I took my second doe sunday night with the same head, just dig it out of the dirt and hit it with a file and you are good to go. If you are undecided on a broadhead give them a shot.
