« on: September 30, 2007, 07:41:00 PM »
Well after trying every way possible to sharpen one of these heads  I tried a lansky sharpening system..

hormoan on here helped with all aspects of sharpening  we first tantoed the tips with a belt sander at his shop and he showed me how to use his lansky sharpener  well it worked and not a day to soon  tomorrow is opening day

special thanks to hormoan  for all of his help

I did'nt see Robs post first but I just posted the following on another tread (Grizzlys unimodifed or modifed)

My only comment on Grizzlys would be you better be good at surface grinders. To get them in shape to hunt with. Or you might as well shoot blunts. As out of the package thats about what they are like. Period

As they are the worst out of the package broadhead every beheld for sharpness. Pitty the uniformed thinking they are going to unpack them and shoot them.

However do your homework at sharpening them and they are awesome heads. Just don't think you won't have to give them some serious attention. Cause there excuse for a edge is poor. Let alone sharp.

And yes in the last two days I've belt sanded a dozen of them. With a better edge that was at least sharpenable by two other tradgang members in the last 3 days. With out a days file work.

Rob yours and a seldom seen member (iluvwud) was the other member.

And Gumby 30 degree was what matched up with Robs head best. I always run a felt marker over any edge. I have any douth about which angle to use with a lansky. Hope that helps.
