Great penetration and super easy to sharpen. One of the best.

Fly great, spin true when you screw them in (I use the screw-in model), and I went to this style because I'm sharpening challenged.  I got the little BH sharpener from 3Rivers for the WW, and I use that and then stones.  There are several vids if you do a search on sharpening them, I think Charlie Lamb has a real good one.

I use a belt sander with a fine grit to just clean up the edges.  I then use a file, pull the broadhead across the file with file in a vise.  I then go to cardboard strop and final strop on leather.  My favorite BH.  File and strop flat.  Bh needs to cut hair off arm with ease.

I just found some original WWs in my box of gear stuff in the shop. Don't even know where I picked them up. Not elites but I always like the originals as well. I been using the VPAs as of late.
I just did some VPAs and WWs that I had been target practicing with. I put a file in the vice, mark my edges with a sharpie, then work them on the file pushing them forward til the edges are flat and back to sharp. Most of the time a jewel stick after that is fine but this time I went over three grades of Arkansas stones and then the jewel stick. They are scary and it was easy to get them there.

Whatever your doing DH you got it right!!!!

I haven't shot anything with them yet, but they fly great and are easy to sharpen with a file...and then leather strop if necessary. I've had lots of reports that they have great penetration and blood trails.
