DilmanTruAngle Broadhead Hone
I practice a lot with my broadheads and hate buying replacement blades to hunt with. I recently purchased the truangle R3 to sharpen my Thunderheads, but I can't seem to get them sharp at all. Any tips or advice appreciated. I used the oil as suggested and rotate the blades after each stroke, then use the leather strop. Still no luck!!!!!!!!

ncbomanI use thunderheads too and resharpen my blades fairly easily with just a smith diamond stone purchased from walmart.
No oil, just a bit of water or spit on the stone. I sharpen them right on the head, pushing the blade on the stone.
The angle is what's important. One of my stones came with a plastic angle guide which is fine for knives but doesn't work with bh blades. Still the guide will show the proper angle and with a little practice, like new sharpness isn't a problem for me.
I have used a file in the past with good results but the diamond stone seems better and easier.
here's a link to a stone similar to the ones I use;

ARTJR338WMA long time ago I bought a BH sharpener made by DMT. It featured two 3" angle adjustable diamond wet stones that would adjust to fit almost any style BH. I used it to re-sharpen my T-Heads as well as touch up my actual hunt with T-Heads that i would shoot once or twice to check their flight.
I worked excellent for me and was dirt simple to use. Cabelas sell sthem for $34.95
Item #JH-41-0761.
It realy does put a shaving sharp edge back on a BH blade.
Hope this helped.
