I love mine. I use the Rada sharpener they have on the Simmons website or an Accusharp sharpener. I have the 190gr and they sharpen up pretty easily.

Been using since 98
Jerry gave me a bunch of stuff when we hunted together in 02 or 03
I use a file - braced on my knee - then finish with a Steelmaster
Mostly use 160 grain sharks glued onto steel adapters for 250 grain headweight
I have shot most of the other sizes with different bows and have seen excellent bloodtrails from all weights
Tuning - spin to true
If you need a little weight add bird shot
If they are a little too heavy file off the trailing blades

Got my eye on those White Sharks but with 28 arrows ready to hunt I’m not needing any arrows. This combination of Carbons and Sharks are super durable. I am buying about two dozen Less arrows now on average every other year

Good Hunting <><

Yeah Cory, I also use a 3 grit sided jewel stick on them, harsh-medium-fine, like my Battle Axes and 3 blades.

I got lucky and got a couple of the ones that twisted apart and the sharpening end went into the handle.  Much easier to pack in the field.  Have no idea why they discontinued them.

This is a single grit that will work great after a file, but there are still 3 sided grit ones available

This one you can get at 3 Rivers...
