Who buys these limited release things? You have to be outside your mind.

‍Well…maybe

I've always wanted some Iron Wills but just can't bring myself to do it. If I were good at sharpening I may be more inclined to purchase them, but as it stands I would make them more dull than a butter knife if I tried to sharpen one.

You cannot get dumber than me sharpening something. The KME jig gets them lightsaber sharp effortlessly

This’ll put me at 15 of them. You need 3. They aren’t easy to sharpen but if you enjoy that craft they aren’t difficult either. Just takes time. Frankly I’ve only put a slightly better edge on 2 and they were probably fine but it calms me a bit to be forced to sit down and do a menial task. Based on your posts you may be in the same boat. Not encouraging you to buy anything, just saying sharpening stuff isn’t as bad as you think.

Yup. I love doing stuff like that, calms my OCD, or feeds it I guess. I can get the knack on most things but I guess I gotta spend more time on it to learn. I bought a nice 3 piece whetstone set that came with 3 different grits, a polishing compound, and a leather strop but I never could get the hang of it.

If I ever get around to getting any, I'll probably buy one of those jig things that holds it at the perfect angle, and practice on these cheap old NAP heads I have.

I couldn’t do it that way either. Got the Workshop thing. Did every knife I kept and still had since I was like 13-14 years old, all the hunting and kitchen knives in my house, and my parents kitchen knives. Then I did broadheads. That kit works great for me but there are others I’m sure.

So do you use their whole HIT system with the shock collars, or just their broadheads? I've been looking at them quite a bit today and mulling it over.

Just the broadheads thus far, may add the HIT system this year just because but haven’t felt the need. I was shooting $40 muzzy 3 blades and had all pass throughs. Normal people wouldn’t even have switched.

I like the testing I’ve seen from a what if this not ideal shot happens perspective and like what they are doing as a company. Some say they don’t create as much blood trail, I did the bleeder option, you can read 47 threads on here about blood trails and I think once we get past are you going to shoot an expandable it’s been shown time and time over that weird things just happen there (shot angle, .25 inches down would’ve hit x, etc).

I saw them at the GAOS, they were good looking head and sharpening them should be pretty easy. I'm thinking of getting a few because I'm horrible at sharpening 2 blades in general.

THATS THE PRICE FOR ONE broadhead?

I don't want their broadheads but I'd love some of whatever they're smoking.
