Mark Hicks has given us six clever tips for keeping our broadhead arrows sharp. The article is printed in the September, 2008 Field & Stream magazine, on page 45. After reading his article, I learned that the sharpening process begins with a carbide sharpener, then color the edges with a black marker. To develop a keen edge, we use a 600-grit stone, and then finish the sharpening with a 1200-grit stone or automotive sandpaper. The broadhead arrow should be sharp enough to instantly cut through a 1/4 inch stretched rubber band on the blade’s edge.
Interesting . . . how far technology has developed since the Native Americans sharpened their arrows and spears to bring home their wildlife decor . . . for their wig-wams and lodges!
