Going Schultzy style--anyone use these?
 

I ordered some Magnus Snuffers and am going to try them out...anyone else use or have used these heads?

RE: Going Schultzy style--anyone use these?
 

My best friend uses them with much success.

I've tracked a lot of animals he's shot with them, they are great heads. And have proven effective out of his bow.

RE: Going Schultzy style--anyone use these?
 

Thanks MN---I like the look of them and have heard they are tough and durable. Plus they don't cost $12-$15 a head...just like 4-5 bucks a head.

RE: Going Schultzy style--anyone use these?
 

I started using them this season out of my Longbow! I can't wait to send one thru a deer. It takes a bit to get them razor sharp but well worth it! Lifetime warranty, ya gotta love. Send the head in and they will send you new ones, no questions!!!!!!!

RE: Going Schultzy style--anyone use these?
 

I'll be shooting them from my Black widow recurve...the 150gr screw in model.

Like was mentioned they are a little touchy to sharpen but once you get the hang of it you can get them shaving sharp. I actually shot my very first buck with one of these 18 years ago so they hold a soft spot for me. :)

Thanks Matt...to me, there is something nostalgic about fixed blade heads and some of them have a certain look that just feels right to me....I am excited to shoot the Magnus Snuffers. I have been shooting the G5 Montecs the last week or so and like them, but not for $13 a head.

RE: Going Schultzy style--anyone use these?
 

the look like g5 montecs and those are very nice heads...i would have to imagine they are very nice.

I've shot the Magnus Snuffer SS's but not these. I'm sure they'll be great heads

That a boy Brett!!! Sharpening them can be a bit of a challenge If your not much Into sharpening stuff. I use white crock sticks when sharpening mine, It works very well. When using crock sticks you sharpen two edges at a time. Talk to Greg (Txjourneyman). I explained to him this morning on how to sharpen his Snuffers. It worked good for him from the sounds of It. Here's a few pics....

Here's the crock sticks that I use. The white crocks are the fine ones, the darker the crocks the more coarse they are.


Sharpening 2 blades at once.


The finished product. Your right, they do look mean and trust me they are tough!!!

RE: Going Schultzy style--anyone use these?
 

I shoot them out of the compound, recurve and longbow. Mainly because I like to find somthing that works and stick with it. I am sure once you get them sharp you will be happy with them.

Schultzy, you read my mind! I was gonna make a post on sharpening broadheads because I remember txjourneyman said you helped him.....THANK YOU>! Where do I buy those crock sticks?

RE: Going Schultzy style--anyone use these?
 

I'm not sure. I'll do a quick check on the net. Mine are older then the hills!![8D]

RE: Going Schultzy style--anyone use these?
 

Here's the one's you want Brett. I'm not sure where to get them though.

LOL!

RE: Going Schultzy style--anyone use these?
 

What I meant on not knowing where to get them was some where else other then online.[>:][8D]

Smart ass!!

When you get them If you have any troubles, let me know.:)

RE: Going Schultzy style--anyone use these?
 

No - the g5 resembles the Snuffer.

yeah me and Shultzy sent a few PMs back and forth on these things. He was a REALLY big help to me in getting these things shaving sharp. It takes a bit of effort but man its worth it. I was considering going with something else but not anymore. I hope to send one through a deer Saturday morning. Opening day! Thanks again Shultzy! people like you are why I love this place!

RE: Going Schultzy style--anyone use these?
 

Thanks again Schultzy---what angle of sharpness do I need to put on the Snuffers? I am asking because I may be able to pick up those sharpening sticks somewhere around here and need to know the info. THANK YOU.

RE: Going Schultzy style--anyone use these?
 

They're similar to the Wensel Woodsmans, which are also a good head. I'm going with a Magnus Stinger this year. Sharp out of the package.

RE: Going Schultzy style--anyone use these?
 

When you sharpen these Snuffers with crock sticks you sharpen 2 edges at the same time just like I showed you In that picture. I don't know what the angle actually Is, just run both edges at the same time on the crock sticks and your good to go. There's only one angle you can do It at. If your talking about the angle the sticks are positioned In It's holder It don't matter much. Just make sure If you can to get the longer crock sticks, just like the link I showed you. The longer the sticks, the longer the strokes you can make when sharpening. Crock sticks work excellent on sharpening your knives as well. They are by far my favorite sharpening tool. Start out using the white sticks 1st. If you still have no luck try the darker one's then being they will be a little more on the coarse side and after a while switch It on up to the white sticks to finish the job up.

RE: Going Schultzy style--anyone use these?
 

Fantastic, thank you. I need to re-sharpen a knife I made out of an antler years ago. It has gotten dull as heck.

RE: Going Schultzy style--anyone use these?
 

Steve-O you pull the head towards you and with a downward motion with the point towards you when sharpening the Snuffers, is this correct???

RE: Going Schultzy style--anyone use these?
 

There Is actually a big difference between the 2 although they look similar like you eluted to. The Wensels are longer and skinnier and there tip's tend to break on them all too often when they hit something hard such as bone. More people from the sounds of It shoot the Wensels instead of the Snuffers. That I can not figure out for the life of me. I guess some of the bow hunters that use them will intentionally break the tips on the Wensels and then redo the head to there liking. I've never seen It done though. To much trouble and work for me.

RE: Going Schultzy style--anyone use these?
 

1st of all find an old arrow and break It off so It's a foot long and then screw your BH In It and use this when sharpening. You get much better leverage and bite on your the sticks. It will get done much quicker then using just your hand.

Joe- Start close to the top with the BH tip pointing away from you and slowly go down the shaft of the stick pulling It towards you as well. Work on one side of the head for a good 15 to 20 strokes and then turn It and go to the next side of the head. Keep repeating until your happy with the edge. Some of the edges will sharpen quicker then the others. Some of the edge's may take a little more attention then the others.

RE: Going Schultzy style--anyone use these?
 

Thanks Steve. I might just look into this system! I use the old file and stone way to sharpen mine, sure was a chore but well worth the effort!

RE: Going Schultzy style--anyone use these?
 

I have used them since Rodger introduced them to the public with my Trad bows, and off and on with the compound.
Sharpen them with a standard flat Diamond, Ceramic, or Arkansas stone, and finish them up on a strap of leather to take any burs off.



Start.



Finish.



Take burs off with leather strap.

Always remember to hit each side of the broadhead the same amount of times so the point stays centered or they wont true to your arrows.

This takes longer than with ceramic sticks because the majorty of the blades are always in contact with the stone, but it is easy to take to much off of theback or tip of the broadhead with the sticks because of the very small surface area that is touching.

RE: Going Schultzy style--anyone use these?
 

My budddy shoots these and swears by them. They seem to be a great BH.

Just got some Crock Sticks, I'll let you know how I do shortly!!!!!!!!!

RE: Going Schultzy style--anyone use these?
 

Oh boy' I think I like them! I'll be back......

RE: Going Schultzy style--anyone use these?
 

Yep, I like them! It took me a second or two to find the right amount of pressure but they are sharper than when i started, which is a good thing. Good purchase, thanks Steve for the heads up, easier then my file and stone method!

John, what is the trick to the leather finishing????

RE: Going Schultzy style--anyone use these?
 

No problem Joe!! Anytime big guy!!:D

RE: Going Schultzy style--anyone use these?
 

You strap them on the leather same as the stone or crock sticks Joe, it takes off the burs and polishes the cutting edge.
They will actually feel sharperwith the burs on,but on contact with somthing like a deer hide these fine burs fold over or break off causing flat spots on your cutting edge.You will be able to seetiny flakes of the blade on the leather after you start.
