Ive been looking for a broadhead sharpener but most of the ones I found have bad reviews, how does everyone sharpen their blades? stone steel ? |

For my Montecs I use a carbon steel sharpener. I tried the dimond ones, but wasn't happy with the resualts. I've also found that a small fine file works real well too. |

See ya in the woods, whtbear |

I use an extremely hard whetstone with a little oil. It takes a little while and they get dull faster after you do it but it beats paying for new blades!!! |

I only buy replacements , they're cheaper than most of the head sharpeners on the market and alot easier to do in my opinion. I've tried to sharpen blades before only to have duller less penetrating blades that makes tracking your game alot harder. Remember you can never get the blades as sharp as when they are new so if you're an ethical hunter you'll replace instead of resharpen your blades. Just my opinion |

Personally, I keep a set of broadheads for practice and a set for hunting only. If your broadheads going into your target are not as sharp as you like, you really don't need to worry about them but don't hunt with them. |

This is the exact same method I use. And the same goes for Lumenoks. They go onto my practice arrows after the batteries die. |

Unless you're GOOD at it don't sharpen, use replacable blade broadheads. Broadhead sharpness is key to making a clean, quick kill. |
