Broadhead Sharpeners
 
Does anyone have any good recommendations for how to sharpen fix blade broadheads. I've been using a cheap little tool from bass pro, but i was just wondering if there was something better? What does everyone use?

I use a brand new broadhead (Muzzy 3 blade) for every deer I shoot, it's just the way I am.

I use new blades on each deer too, muzzy.

Three blade heads are pretty easy to sharpen, because the angle is already set acrosstwo of the blades. There are some diamond stones made by DMTwith whichI have had very good results - they come in coarse, medium, fine and extra fine. I think G5 also makes a diamond stone for broadhead sharpening. I woud highly recommend these over a regular arkansas type whetstone.

Good info I was wondering this myself. How about a two blade stinger? Any double type stones or do you have to do one edge at a time?
And "whetstone". You are good. Spelling.

Accusharps are inexpensive(about 10 bucks) and work really well...especially for 2 blade heads.

For my knives and broadheads I use the Lansky Sharpenr and I follow it up with a leather strop and stropping compound. This gets them scary sharp.

Good point, almost forgot that...I put mine to a leather strop afterwards as well.

For thetips on the muzzy headsthat holdin the blades, how do you sharpen those. They are twisted and I think they would be difficult to sharpen??
