Storing your sharpened broadheads
« on: June 28, 2010, 12:17:00 AM »
I got myself some Woodsman broadheads and realized I don't really have a good way of storing them once sharpened up.  I only have 1 quiver (tube type hangs on my side) that probably wouldn't be the best to keep them in anyway, but want to use it for shooting my practice tips.  How do you guys store your b.h.'s after you've gotten them hunting sharp?  Thanks

Honestly, I don't ever store hunting sharp heads. The only time any of my broadheads are Sharp Enough to Hunt, they're in my bowquiver.
The rest of the time, all my heads live in a gallon bucket in the basement. Come hunting time, I just grab the first 4 I lay my hand on & sharpen 'em up ready to go.

I've got a styrofoam block, but they need to be sharpened before hunting.

My bow case has an arrow holder, I coat them with a layer of vasoline and keep them on arrows in the case.

Randomly thrown into a tacklebox. I should do something about that.

Actually if it is pretty sharp, I keep it on an arrow and put it in an arrow case I have ready for the season.

I've got a bunch of Snuffer's just itching to pass through hide this year.

I bought a tupperware container (14" X 8" X 3")   and some foam padding from walmart; I cut the foam to fit the bottom and another piece to fit the top and put the broadheads in between. It works great!   :thumbsup:

I read somewhere about TRYING to pick out your best flying arrows and put the BH's on them. I have six set aside in a cardboard arrow box, but will be practicing with them in the last month before the season, so sharp now, but more sharpening to come. What about the hot wax dip method. nice protective coat. I haven't done it though, just sounds good to me. Until the wax has to come off, maybe. Just reheat, I guess.
My PLAN is to get 6 geared up as now, but have a better case. For some reason. Seems they always need a final touch up anyway. Unless that's just a paranoia I have.

I keep them in an arrow box but check them and touch them up before leaving to hunt.
May your next adventure lighten your heart, test your spirit, and nourish your soul.

I pretty much follow what Rob said above... just exchange the bucket with Tupperware...
