$15 each (counting shipping) is steep, but i bet they are awesome. still got my Stinger 150s as a tried and true backup.
You did well by buying them.  I use them on everything!  15/Rada is very steep.  I got 2 delivered for under 12. [/b]
sorry, for the confusion. it was the broadheads that are $15 a piece. the Radas were 2 for $12.

They are a deadly head!  A half round file and a round diamond hone, then a steel will make them scary sharp.

Oh man what a nasty wound! Nicely done.

I mentioned earlier I couldn't get them sharp with the radda, I realized I was pulling them through at too steep and angle and it wasn't grinding the blade evenly. Since lchanging angle steepness I have been able to get them shaving sharp in short order.

watched the video in preparation for getting my treesharks and a rada.

watched it again now that I have them. 20 minutes and they are duller now than when they came out of the pack.

AGAIN: I haven't hunted with my recurve this year and didn't hunt with it last year AT ALL cause I cant get ANY traditional style broadhead sharp.

steel, Arkansas stones, diamond stones, hand held sharpeners, grinders, belts, files. single bevel, double bevel, doesn't matter.

I can pick up my recurve and shoot tiny little groups with it past my comfortable hunting distance. But I will not hunt with a dull BH. this so FREAKING FRUSTRATING!
I am not the "give up" type, but this has been and ongoing 2 year issue, im literally at the point of giving up trad hunting because of this. its either that or continue to use a sharp out of the box head that I have NO confidence in

Caleb,

If you have an I-phone perhaps a face time with someone who knows how can show you realtime?

I do have an IPhone, and I would love someone to show me the error that I am inducing into the sharpening madness black hole that I am currently spiraling downward into.

Caleb,

Give me a little while.  We just went through Hurricane Nate and I need to help my parents clean up and then I'll try and Face Time with you.

Well, I gave her another shot today. spent an hour on 3 tree sharks and they are ready to hunt! I had to lighten up my hand pressure on them and just let the blade roll through the wheels. I am excited to say the least

Great Job Caleb!

It is a certain technique of correct blade angle (blade tilted in an upward angle) and starting with enough pressure to "remove enough metal" until it "feels" smooth and kinda like glides through the wheels.

From there lighten the pressure to just the weight of the broad head until it feels extremely smooth then stop and final strop on leather or cardboard, or I prefer my blue jeans.

Hair should pop off.
