Bought bullheads ,tuned to shooting out of my Slow nocam set at 55lbs. But these bullheads aren't very sharp, how do you gals/guys touch them up? I been using a RADA sharpener but they could still be better. Thanks for your help??

Creative use of greenery to hide the "lop"

I have never touched mine up and lopped turkey necks no problem. I seriously believe if you whacked a turkey neck with a completely unsharpened (flat) Bullhead blade it would still kill the bird instantly from the shock alone...

AS I said I shoot a slow like bow for turkeys and 55lbs you think it is enough to lop a head?

You just need to break the neck, not necessarily lop the head off. I have no direct experience with Bullheads but if ever there was a situation where I would be less concerned about a dull BH, this would be it.

Blades could be in backwards and would work fine.

Agree with others, better to be sharp, but Bullheads more often put the bird down by breaking it’s neck. That being said, I had a first for me with a Bullhead 100gr. head this weekend. I’ve killed probably 15-20 birds with them, and bounced a few less than perfect shots off their chests. I hit one of the birds I killed in Nebraska last week, above and to the right of his beard, and the bullhead exited in front of his right thigh. He was quartering hard to me at about 7-8 yards, and the arrow stayed in him, but was sticking out the exit hole about 2”. He went right down and died very quickly. It did break one blade off. I was shooting 70 lbs.

All of the above. I fine tune the edges with a diamond stick, and have killed multiple birds with the same blades after touch up.
