RE: how do I get my broadheads flying

With a properly tuned bow you CAN have any quality broadhead hitting the same point of impact (POI) as a field point. I do not agree with moving the sight for your broadheads. A broadhead that is...

RE: How do you sharpen your broadheads?

It depends on what broadhead you are using. Some can be sharpened on flat stones and others on lansky style sharpeners. Although most can be sharpened with an all-sharp or G5's broadhead sharpener.

You can remove the pins by loosening off the two set screws for the pin you want to remove. With the screws loose point the sight with the pin pointing down and tap on the sight.

RE: Magnus Stinger and poor blood trails?
