R Zwickey 4-blade bleeders sharpenable?
« on: January 03, 2008, 07:43:00 PM »
Gang:

Over the years I've bounced back and forth between shooting Magnus and Zwickey 2-blades. The past couple years I've been hunting with Woodsmans. This year I'm thinking of giving Zwickey 4-blades a try for a  fall bear hunt. Here's my question: Is it possible to re-sharpen the bleeder blades on Zwickeys? If so, is it difficult to get the bleeders hunting SHARP.

Also in the how section I have a how to using a lansky sharpener.  If you are shooting wood arrow you need to dismount them and mount onto a broadhead adapter, sharpen then remount on your woods.  The bleeders are much easier to sharpen then the main blades. Terry's how to works great also.  I use the lansky because I have a tuff time getting the main blade sharp with a file, but I can get the bleeders really sharp, really quick using a file.

Yes, the bleeders are easy to sharpen. Like SuperK said, Terry has a great tutorial on the How-To section.
