I'm looking at a 3000/10000 grit Whet/oil stone to sharpen my 3 blade cast broadheads
What do you use to sharpen your broadheads
I am new to the stick throwing game I got myself a crossbow for Xmas but looking at a bow this year
Cheers for any ideas

Mate uses a Scary sharp and treats them like knives basically.
Gosh, I bet that’s fiddly with a scary sharp.Quote:

To be fair the mate uses a rough cheap Chinese stone in the guide clamp as it's not something that really worth using the expensive stones on with the danger of ridging them. A Lansky setup would probably do just as well I guess and you'd be able to better see what's going on while stoning...
If the OP means fixed blade broadheads, fine wet and dry stuck down on a piece of thick glass works good as another cost effective option.
Jump on YouTube, there’s heaps of good options and best seen rather than explained.Quote:

I've gone over to a three blade, easy to tune and easy to sharpen. A small diamond stone and a couple quick swipes on three sides, job done. No shagging around on fiddly blades.
Can't help you with 3-blades, don't use them. Only 2 blade and preferably solid.
For my BH's with the spring steel, like the Tuskers, I use a steel file, quick run on a stone and strop. For all others including my single bevels I do it all on a stone. My favourite broadheads (that are pretty much the same as the Ozcuts but cost 1/4 the price - TY Aliexpress) come a bit blunt from the factory, so I work them on a diamondback DC4, whetstone and leather strop to finish. I can shave with them within a few minutes from factory dull edge. I don't mess with the pull through sharpeners any more. Waste of time.
I use em until their blunt or stuck in a tree then change them never had to sharpen one
