Default Successful braoadhead tuning...now what?

Thanks to the information available here and on members' websites I have been able to get fixed blade broadheads to fly well for the first time in too many years. I dont want to bore you all with the details but starting with a paper tuned bow and properly spined arrows I made very small adjustments to my rest, nocking point and peep sight until I finally got my broadheads grouping with my field tips. Then I played around a bit with fletching options until I achieved my best groups. Using Blazer vanes with a fraction of a right offset I can get Nitrons, Crossfires and Wasp Boss to group inside 4" at 30 yards, but the G5 Montec groups were insane!!! Call me crazy, but I think they might actually group better than my target tips. I gave up on shooting for groups to save my arrows and wasconsistentlyhittingthe 3" spots on my target. My only problem with the Montecs is that they seem way to dull to get the job done efficiently. The nitons are scary sharp, the crossfires and the wasps are a close second, but the Montecs were just plain dull. I have always used replaceable bleades and have never sharpened broadheads before. Obviously I want to use the broadhead that groups the best for me, but I think blade sharpness is at least as important as broadhead flight. Can any of you folks give me some practical advice on getting the Montecs "shaving sharp". Thanks

do a search , this has been discused many times , useing wet sandpaper and a block going up in grit size from say 600 to 1000 seems to be what most have had best results with , g5 makes a sharpener especialy for their heads allso
