    Default Sharpeners?

    What does everyone use to sharpen broadheads? Anyone have any experience with the G5 sportman stick sharpener?

    I use a 2-file system for my heads and a small sharpener for touch-ups

    G5 diamond sharpening stone here.
    I've also used 400 grit and 600 grit wet/dry sandpaper to sharpen blades, and it worked great. I stretch the sandpaper over a nice flat piece of coco-bola wood, so I have a nice hard flat surface underneath to work with.

    I use a cheap sharpener I got from Cabela's. It shaves the hair off my arm, sharp enough for me!

    I use the G5 sharpener and the stone. Works pretty good for me.
