I can easily see where both of y'all are coming from. Personally, I feel that if a company is going to advertise that their broadhead has replaceable blades... then they certainly ought to have replaceable blades available.... or if not available immediately... at LEAST in the works. These things are new and it can take some time to get everything out to the stores, but not making them at all??? Why tout that as a feature of the head then?

I was interested in these as well. So last week I went to the bow shop here and I picked some up after a demonstration. They shoot very well and appear to work just as advertised. The owner told me that you can sharpen them like you would a fixed blade and that NAP was going to make replacement blades available soon. I will let you know how they work on deer this fall but from what I saw I don't see any problems.

if you emailed them rick you might wanna check your spam. i made that mistake. waited for a response and the next thing i know i had new fletchings in the mail box. check my spam and they had contacted me in like 2 days but i didnt see it. lol
im with ya though rick. they should come out with the blades as soon as the head is released. they know people are gonna snatch them up at the beginning. oh well. live amd learn.

I was going to explain but I will just go back and delete it as bad choice of words. Sorry.

Honestly that is why I don't shoot Spitfires anymore. Sure they sell blades for them, but there is only so much blood and sanity I'm willing to lose repacing them. It got the point that they were a one and done broadhead and at $10 a pop I looked for other options.
From the looks of the Bloodrunner they look like they should be easy to resharpen, but I'm surprised that replacement blades aren't available. That is one thing NAP has always had going for them. Their blades are always scary sharp right out of the package.
