Had a lot of requests over the last few weeks about how I sharpen the 3 blade VPA Broadheads.

So i put together a short video showing how i get them sharp. I like to keep things "simple" and effective. There are lots of other ways to do it but this is the best for me.  

I use a 12" Swiss Single Cut file and a Diamond Jewl Stick.

I like to Run the Broadhead over the file rather then the file over the head as it is easier to keep things flat and flush by elimination a bit of human error. If you have a steady hand then you can run the file across the head, but its just more simple this way.

The Quality of the steel really allows you to get an amazing sharp edge on these heads.

So simple Anyone can get them Sharp.

Always nice to see another hunter's way of doing things, no matter how similar.

Thanks, great video!
May your next adventure lighten your heart, test your spirit, and nourish your soul.

I use the same process just instead of a file, I use a 360 grit diamond stone.
