Wood Arrow Question...

[Mud_Slide_Slim]

Ok...so I have no firsthand experience shooting wood arrows, but I REALLY want to start.  I have been doing research , but have a somewhat trivial question...What do you do after shooting broadhead tipped arrows and need to resharpen?  

I know some guys use a file to resharpen, so the head stays on the arrow.  But for those that use a KME or some other sharpening device, do you take the head off the arrow, sharpen, then re-glue and align the broadhead back on the arrow?  This can be done over and over again on the same arrow? It seems silly to ask such a question, but I don't see how you could sharpen a head on a mechanism such as a KME while attached...or am I wrong?  Thanks!

No need to take the heads off. You can sharpen the broadhead on a KME, both the knife and broad head sharpeners, with the head still attached to the arrow.  I also use a 2-4 True Angle hone. Of course, filing works as well.  

Arrows I'm going to hunt with, I only shoot once or twice to make sure they fly right.  If you shoot them a lot, the points will need a lot of work, filing, stones, etc.  If you shoot them only once or twice, it's just a matter of a little touch-up on the honing jig, regardless of what kind it is.  For practice with broad heads, I just designate a few arrows for practice exclusively.

Yeah don't remove the heads on woodies-do what Orion does.
