RE: Broadhead Sharpener?
 

LittleChief they will sharpen any small blade you have from razors to box knife blade to (what I use them for) Thunderhead blade.

I bought 28 160 gr 3 blade old style Thunderheads off EBAY that had like 100 extra blades.

I can't get them quite NAP sharp - but scary enough you won't touch one :)

White Crock Sticks for the finishing touch. Nothing better In my opinion so far from what I've used.

Here's how you do It...

RE: Broadhead Sharpener?
 

This brings me too a discussion I had with a friend... A little off topic, but something to consider???

For what it's worth, I shoot Thunderheads that have replaceable blades and so does my friend.
Here's MY theory and I'll start form the beginning...

1) Once I've deemed my practice arrow(s), a straight, consistent shooter, it graduates to the next level.
I then take my selected (4-6) arrows and place an old broad head with dull blades on it.
2) Then once again I'll shoot at a target and then deem it good for a "hunting", from there
it graduates again! (yeah - good broad head!!!:))
3) I then put a new broad head on it and shoot it only once into my target, to re-qualify for the end result,
an accurate "hunting arrow".
From this point on, these arrows are quarantined for hunting only and never re-used, except to kill something.
Note: During my bow season I use a few of my dull practice (broad head) arrows for practice,
as not to ruin my virgin (ha-ha, I said "virgin") arrows.

Theory ~ The blades are cheap enough and most likely sharper than anything you or I could do, in my opinion??!!

Reason for theory...
I was at a seminar about 10 years back and they did a test to prove how important a sharp broad head is...
The instructor shot a tight, 4" diameter wad of elastics (simulating the heart) with a factory sharpened broad head,
and the second 4" ball with a "amateur/duller" sharpened broad head.
The results of the actual number of elastics that where cut/nicked, when unraveled,
from both of the broad heads amazed me!
The factory broad head cut 78 elastics, while the duller broad head cut 46 elastics - Wow..!!
This exercise was to show that the elastics are supposed to be arteries
and veins and as we all know cutting more veins should equate to a cleaner faster kill.

So the moral to my (boring) story is, don't be such a tight wad:D!
You can salvage/retire the old broad heads for practice.

Lastly, I only used 1 arrow last year, so how expensive can that be, to be able to sleep peacefully at night?!!

SchultzyI stop with leather

Edcyclopediacan you find me some new, in the box blades for those old 160 gr 3 blade Thunderheads (same blades they used on the big 150 gr 2 blade Thunderheads) ?

if not ...... i'll have to resharpen the ones I have :D

RE: Broadhead Sharpener?
 

I own a machine shop, so for a fee I could make you some, maybe engrave your name into them too![&:]
Wow 160 gr. I didn't know they made them that fat!;)

RE: Broadhead Sharpener?
 

The top is the 160 gr, the bottom a 125 gr

Big old broadheads they are - like Big Snuffer big!

RE: Broadhead Sharpener?
 

The little one (125gr.) looks like it was on the Jenny Craig diet, cute!:)

RE: Broadhead Sharpener?
 

thing is, that 125 gr isn't small ......... the 160 is just BIG !
