Default broadhead sharpening

I don't feel competent enough to get a perfect edge with a mill file. What are you using to sharpen fixed blade broadheads that is easy to use and doesn't require the skill of a brain surgeon?

Look in some archery catalogs.They sell angled hones and stones made for sharpening fixed heads.Also a lansky knife sharpener works good.They have clamps with preset angles for sharpening.

I'd try a cheap sharpener (5 bucks) but if that doesn't get them how you want them (and I prefer them scary to handle) just replace the blades. If your heads don't take replaceable insert blades then you might want to invest in a nice broadhead sharpener. Try a lansky style sharpener, maybe a friend has one you could borrow to try or something, I've had some luck with mine. I guess I'm basically saying you'll have to spend some money but it's definitely worth it

Good luck!

Best tool ever invented is the "AccuSharp". Get one at Wally world. It will put a shaving sharp edge on your broadheads, and knives. It's also a no brainer to use. Hope this helps. Be safe.

P.S.

Edersbow also sells them.

Try a fish hook file sharpener with a slot in the middle. Works great on my Muzzys. Even use it to sharpen the tip edges.
