What broadhead sharpens easy?

Old Bear Razorheads are easy to sharpen and you have the option of using the bleeder for better blood trails . Lots of them for sale..

If you can't keep the Z's sharp, either the bevel is off, or they might be dulled in a quiver, handling etc.  To solve the bevel, try a wheel sharpener like a Rada. Soft touch, keeps a consistent bevel.

I think I'll bite the bullet and get some Stos.

What bigbadjon said. Quick to sharpen, quick to dull. And like Bill Carlsen, I prefer 3 blades partly because they sharpen easily for me. Then there's the big holes...

I've got to agree.  The angle that Bill has on these, makes them super easy..

Any 3 blade.   Bill

Once I was taught how to properly sharpen heads, I found Magnus was the easiest followed by Zwickey and Snuffer. 10 mil file, stropping leather does a great job. For touch up in the field, hard to beat the Rada Wheel sharpener.

For those who are having difficulties, I highly recommend Ronnie's KME. From single bevel to double bevel the edge is scary sharp.

Have to disagree with you, Zwickey's (& Magnus) are the EASIEST head to sharpen, in particular the Deltas because of their straight edge.  

They usually come slightly concave, some more than others, and that is dependent upon where the grinder was in its wear or adjustment schedule during the sharpening process.  I straighten the edge so it is perfectly straight or flat to a true surface.

Always use a NEW (or new-ish) Mill Bastard file, that makes a HUGE difference.  Maintain the integrity of your files and always cycle through older ones; retain those for shovels and axes.

I C-clamp the file on my bench with it sticking out into my shop, suspended. I run the head on a shaft, the length of the file pushing from tip to toe, parallel to the edge, maintaining the angle with just my hand.  This takes some practice & skill.  As others say, raise that burr, then remove it!  I also hone mine on wet/dry paper on a marble slab used for sharpening plane blades and a paper wheel w/rouge on my grinder.  

My arms are bare of hair right now...it blows off with the touch of a blade!

Zwickey and Magnus are all I've used for 25 years so I don't really know too much about other heads. I get them very sharp with Tru-Angle files and a leather strop.

How much weight do you need to add? One trick that works well is to take some bird shot out of a shotgun shell. Melt it down and drop it in the bottom of the ferrel. I do this all the time. You can add 20 grains or more this way. It works like a charm

Vpa 3 blades are so easy even I can do it. File, jewel stick- sharp as sharp can be. Andy ivy has a good video showing how on youtube.

I think the easiest for me so far is just about any two blade that's made from regular steel not stainless. I use a Magnus All-Sharp and a two sided leather strop with jewelers rouge of two different grits. A stainless head isn't much tougher though.
