Broadheads ?

I’m using rf 200 single bevel sharpened to hair popping and then stropped.   Penetrated 3ft of deer this year and died in view.

What is that sharpener in the picture?

Here is a photo of my broadhead I mentioned

I've used shuttle T's for years and tested a ton of others in the past it held up the best going through a scapula bone . I will Say The Grim reapers  make a nasty wound channel but require maintenance  if they get dirty they will stick closed .

I bought GrizzlyStick samurai 125s a couple years ago.  Was really excited about them and just shot my first archery elk with them last week.  Well placed broadside double lung shot, he only ran 88 yards, but almost ZERO blood trail and my blade got pretty beat up. 

What do you experts think about my blade edges breaking/flaking into what now looks serrated?   Doesn’t seem like it should have done this and I’m thinking about switching to something with harder steel (ie Iron Will).  Thoughts?

Unless you're completely stuck on the whole single-bevel thing you might also look at D6 evo's. Bleeders available to help with blood trail and they are insanely sharp out of the box. I pounded a steel culvert at 50 yards with one and couldn't tell it apart from the brand new ones afterwards. So far very happy, but lots of good heads on the market these days.

Another Shuttle T fan here - been shooting them for quite a few years with zero issues

I’ve been looking into the iron will 125 S they get great reviews but are $$$

I picked up archery back in 2020 and decided to go with Iron Will solids.  I originally went with 125s but ended up trading a buddy for 100s because my arrows were a bit underspined for 125x with 50 grain inserts.  Anyway, I got my first shot at a critter this year and the Iron Will performed extremely well.  Shot was 35ish yards on a large spike elk.  I hit a bit high and caught the edge of the scapula as well as some rib on the way in.  Good double lung hit and the elk only went 30 yards before tipping over.  The broadhead stopped against the offside hide which was a bit discouraging, but I also didn't spend as much time resharpening the broadhead as I should have after shooting it into foam several times.  Broadhead was recovered from the animal and shows no signs of damage and will be resharped and put back in the quiver for late deer season.  Very small sample size, but I was impressed with the amount of damage inflicted and can't complain when the animal tips over in-sight from a double lung hit.

If looking for a more durable edge start with a double bevel and possibly a different brand. Iron will is an awesome head.

Slick Trick Magnums with my 70# bow and ST Viper Tricks with my 60# bow, killed elk with both. I just ordered G5 Striker X 125s to test on a whitetail this year. It has a 'lil more cutting diameter than the ST
