Sharpening Broadheads: How to develop a consistent edge.

While performing a broadhead comparison I utilized push force instruments to compare edge quality to the amount of force to cut a standard test medium. While running this analysis I inadvertently also identified some best practices for sharpening Single Bevel, Double Bevel, 3 blade Broadheads as well as bleeder blades. In this video I share my sharpening processes and the tools I use to develop an optimal edge.
