Getting Stingers crazy sharp?

I have an Accu Sharp and with time, can get my Stingers sharp after shooting at a target, but what can I do to get them crazy sharp? Right now, I can shave a little hair off my arm, but it is not popping off with just one swipe.

A leather strop will get anything nasty sharp after you have a good edge. You can even try some jewlers rouge on the leather if you need to.

I have a Gatco sharpening kit, could I use that to get them sharper than with the AccuSharp? I will look into a leather strop.

Start them on a big file. That really gives you that edge that rolls over.

I just sharpened mine yesterday for the upcoming season so very timely. I use that little hand held sharpener that 3-rivers sells. you just slide it through and good to go. I also use a similar style sharpener called a "razor rake". Both of these get them so sharp I just swipe my arm and all the hair comes off like I used a straight razor.

Does anyone sharpen them on a KME broadhead sharpener or will that not work.It looks like you could remove the blade from the ferrule and sharpen them that way.The KME comes with extra jaws for replaceable blades.

Stingers are one of the easiest heads to get just crazy sharp with the KME. take the bleeders out if you're shooting the four blade but, I sharpen the main blades right on the ferrule just like any other 2 blade. Finish up by stropping on a piece of cardboard but don't even glance at the cutting edge after that!
