Did they come pre-sharpened, or dull like the Zwickeys do?

They are better than the zwickeys out the box but not shaving sharp. A little work with 400 800 and 1000 grit did the trick and I have the bare spots on my calf to prove it. Once you see how easy it is to sharpen a 3 blade head you'll never go back.

Little bit of practice with the new arrows and started hitting a little better. Then I put up a leaf on the target I think I'm good.
