This ranch I am hooked up with to help them thin out a lot of does and management bucks told me he still has a lot of does that has to go. Last night I got a doe with a rage hypodermic and she didn't go far at all seen her fall and that makes the 3rd deer I have shot with them but the blades are always nicked up and bent so I can't keep buying more and buying the replacement blades are not cheap. So what fixed blade broadhead should I get that will be easy to sharpen. Thinking slick trick razor tricks but what dose the green screen say.

Easiest broadhead to sharpen

If you get a smith's knife sharpener you can take the nicks out of the blades and put a fresh edge on them. As far as bent blades idk as long as they open and close with ease they will be fine. This is a solution I have found help with the Hypos and Reapers. If you wanted to give that a try before leaving the mechanicals.

Look at the Woodsman Elite 3 blades. I now shoot them from my longbow, but I used to shoot them from my compound. Got great penetration on some very large pigs with the wheelbow. I've found broadheads of this type are easy to sharpen - just a few strokes on a file then strop. Or, like I do now, glue three different grits of wet/dry sandpaper to a piece of plate glass or a cutting board. It's quick and easy because you just hold them flat and stroke away. I then finish on a piece of cardboard or leather.

The easiest to sharpen and reuse will be any fixed, two blade head. Stingers are great for the price. I used the old black Magnus for years and they were great. The vpa 3 blades are tough and not too hard to sharpen. Problem with nonreplaceable three blade heads is they sharpen to 30 degrees. Sharp enough to kill but never feel real sharp. That would be heads like vpa, snuffer ss, hellrazor, etc. I have resharpend slick truck blades with a lansky. It's a bit of a pain but can be done.

The plain, old, boring Magnus 2 blade vented broadheads and a Smith's Industries sharpener.
The best part is the Magnus broadheads have a lifetime warranty. Pass through an animal, bury it in the dirt, hit a tree, bend it on a rock? Masking tape them to a piece of cardboard, write you name and address on the back and mail to Magnus. No need for sending a letter if you don't want to. New broadheads come back to you in the mail. Great deal.
Downside: I've never gotten a great blood trail with them. The wound closes up.
Upside: No animal I've every killed with them ran more than 30 yards and died, so I didn't need a blood trail. Same story for 2 hunting buddies who shoot them too, and I've seen the same for them.
I tuned my compound for elk with Thunderheads and practiced out to 60 yards and screwed on of them into an arrow, and it grouped right with the Thunderheads. I think the venting makes them spin nicely and not plane in flight.
