How often do you touch up broadheads after the season starts

[Js slow bow]

How do y'all sharpen heads on stand without getting busted? Where I hunt the deer look up. Just this morning 18 foot up a tree with cover behind me, I decided to stand up and stretch my legs. Looking around real slowly and not seeing anything so I stood up slowly. Bam busted I never did see it but it saw me.

Not a heckuva lot of motion slowly running a file over a broadhead edge. Also...90% of my treestands are in thick pines. I could do a disco dance in those branches and not get busted.

Everything I do in a stand is at molasses speed, while keeping my head on a slow swivel. To my knowledge, sharpening a broadhead has never caused me to spook a deer.

I do see guys running climbers up naked trees, with no cover at all. I'm sure they could spook a deer with an eye blink.

I touch up the edges about once per week using a leather strop with stropping compound.

In deer camp at ShrewHaven I'm showing Tim Cosgrove how to make an Ace broadhead into a "LaClair Lacerator"




I told Tim the "Lacerator" would stay cutting sharp longer than a regular straight edge


Roger also gets advice in camp...sometimes he listens

I listen AT LEAST twice a week
