SINGLE vs DOUBLE Bevel Broadheads w/Ranch Fairy!!! (Sharpening Tips)

The point made by Troy to strop the edge to eliminate meat and fat particles that clog the cut edge turned me around and back to stroping. Thanks!

I killed 7pt buck at 10 yards sitting in chair on ground no blind with crossbow entered right behind right shoulder and came out by back left leg ran 15 yards and died coughing blood bad was dead in less than 5 minutes

Do I think that everything these gentlemen are saying is 100% accurate and applicable to bow hunting? Yes I do. I believe that the information they’re sharing will make your arrows more lethal. With that being said! The trail Blazers in this industry, like Fred bear, Howard Hill, and dare, I say, even current hunters like Chuck Adams would sharpen their broad heads in the field with a handheld file and kill what they shot.

Have you ever heard the saying? Dull knife is more dangerous than a sharp one.🤔🤔🤣

Great information

Bought the sharpening kit for Iron Will broadheads from Innovative Outdoorsman. Stay sharp jig with diamond plates and buffing compound. Works fantastic once you get the hang of it.

Should we lubricate the broadheads and arrow shafts prior to hunting , to reduce friction which might help it cut better ? If oil helps then which oil ? I'm thinking of olive oil but if there is another nontoxic , like coconut oil or maybe if mineral oil is edible then I'll try those out if lubricating an arrow is beneficial .

People back days sharpening a stick hardening it with fire and still killing deer what they were doing? Tons of technology and topics jut to find out what is the best I think we go so overall about these topics .

In one part of the video, you talk about hitting bone and the broadhead stays sharp but in another part of the video you say it your arrow drops out of your quiver and hits the ground you should touch up your broadhead because it evidently got dull when it fell to the ground. What?

One thing to consider is to use the flattest surface to sharpen from, the easiest is to use a mirror since glass is usually flat

Hey Guys. Maybe ive missed it but do you guys have any experience or potential concerns with the DRT single bevel broadheads. They look like good heads and were at a compareable price.

Just use a double bevel, I ruined several cutthroat, I can sharpen a double bevel but single bevels I can't figure out. Literally ruined a pack of cutthroat and was using the prescion sharp machine. I could get it with the 320 grit but I was I went up in grit to smoother to try and hone it I lost the edge.

KME has great sharpeners and they have jigs and methods for ANY KIND of BH and knives.

They are a great company

Why are all y'alls inserts so long? I'm new to the cut on contact world. Help I wanna be humane and I'm really interested in the old school

what about arrow flight and how to sight them

GO OVER SURATED APOSED TO FULL BLADE

Hi Aaron, sounds like your pretty pleased with the cutthroat heads.
Are you shooting the standard steel or the S7 steel?

So what are your thoughts on survivabilitly on the low angle blades? The guy who makes the jigs in the other video recommends dual beveling cutthroats to 30 degrees because the 25 they come at is very susceptible to taking damage on a pass through

What seems to be contrary to this demonstration /discussion is the Serrated edge broadheads, which to me probably impede penetration a lot especially coz its difficult to sharpen those too. I have had good success with 3 blade heads on 120 to 180 grit..

Throw the sandpaper away. Buy a couple diamond sharpening stones, 200 and 600 grit. Hold the broad heads bevel flat on the stone and sharpen away. Knock the burr off. Finish on the strop with compound.

Knives come in steels that are way harder then any broad head comes in, it should not take more then 30min per head

Just a tip
If you want to use a hard steel broadhead that needs sharpened but dont want to sharpen it then take them to bass pro. They will sharpen them for a couple bucks each.

Broad heads are not single use items.
If they cant be reused without serious repair then you need another type

Also wanted to mention that im a knife collector so sharpening is something ive seriously been working hard on for a long stinkin time ive gotten pretty damn good at it, so when i was watching this video i had to smile when you talked about the strop and rubbing compound or what i call jewlers rouge. I use the stuff on my Bark River knives and a few others with convex blades, they have no bevels but with the strop and compound they get sharper than anything you have ever touched, especially my favorite steel Elmax. I think with my background with knives and sharpening ill do fine with the single bevel deal, hshs. Yall take care and again good luck brothers.

Yep i started bowhunting in 94,, id been gun hunting since 1980 so i knew a little about hunting but i really didnt know shit. I wanna say up front that i learned more about hunting in one season of bowhunting than in all my previous years of hunting put together. Now fast forward nearly 30 years of experience with the Bow and oh what ive seen and learned. Mechanical heads were all the rage haha and yeah they do work but so many inconsistencies are there and when your a semi perfectionist like me it will drive you nuts. Well i always liked to paper tune and even bare shaft tune but shooting a fixed blade head would never work for me because I expected to much out of it, way to much. Now when i started getting serious and wanted to start shooting to kill and not for a blood trail, really i was just tired of being scared of the shoulder, i wanted to hit what was under the shoulder and no i dont go trying to shoot sn elk in the shoulder. Anyway I wanted to shoot single bevel and move up in arrow weight so i watched a bunch of shit on them, a bunch of your videos and now im getting there, its something i should have been doing long ago, it just works better. And im still shooting 100 grain heads, i moved up in arrow weight so now im around 500 grains total instead of almost 400. I put some brass in the front so i can still shoot all my 100 grainers , i have so many you see. I went a little stiffer on my arrows and made sure my vanes were right offset to match my Helix single right bevel broadheads and they fly wonderful out to 80 and beyond and its amazing how much damage a single bevel broadhead does to soft tissue, but its unreal how much damage they do to bone. Keep talking, ill keep listening guys, thanks, good luck this coming season.

Aaron made way too much a of fuss over the difficultly of getting a burr. Sandpaper is garbage. Diamond stones make short work of even the hardest steels

These table top videos are hard to watch because they’re so redundant. You don’t have to REALLY emphasize EVERY detail MULTIPLE times. That makes it feel like I’m listening to salesman OR someone that is underestimating my intelligence.

Not to be too critical though I’m obviously watching your vids. Love the knowledge

Love the channel ! You guys ever thought about cutting an 6inch peace of an old arrow, to put your broadhead in, will give you something to hold on to without having either the whole arrow dangling or nothing to hold on to. thank me later.

Dont use sand paper but sharpening fine stone that is much better . Look how Carpenter sharpen wood chisel or better Japanese sword maker

Been using MA-3s and Montec M3s for years gotta sharpen them out the box but either are tanks and drive through anything but rock

Great content from THP & RF. Both great channels. Being a traditional archery hunter myself I find these channels to be very helpful.

If you hit the 2x4 your screwed 😂

Ok just asking are you guys getting these broadheads threw reps because price is a killer. An how accurate are they you know planing flight fletching helical an such. Thanks guys great video making me look at a different route for broadheads.

"It's better to be a little high" ☺️

Learning to sharpen knives on a diamond hone and finishing on a ceramic stone or japanese water stone gives you a LOT of insight into sharpening anything. Especially single bevel edges. The mistake folks make with any single bevel, knife or broadhead, is getting an angle on the back side instead of dead flat to the stone. Don't Cheat with that burr!

For what you pay for them they should be razors!!

The Work sharp sharpener would prob do well. Will go try it out on some cut on contacts soon.

Getting broad heads really sharp is very satisfying when you finally get a hunt ready edge

I meeean, they are never as sharp as they started. Ever. You shoot at a target or animal... they are dull and likely showing damage. I can attest to what you guys are saying though. I shoot grim reaper razortip 1 3/8in cut 100gr. I decided to shoot their 2in whitetail addition and drilled a buck. Perfect shot thank goodness. The blades were destroyed and stuck in the rips on entry. The smaller cut version have been very solid. I have been considering switching to fixed blade for a couple years. Not sure I will switch to ancient native american style arrow heads... but something.

What type of arrows do you use? Aluminum or carbon??

Steele Force is another Single Bevel. The Phat Head is a thick blade. Yes, that is how an arrow/ broad head kills. It is by hemorrhage. which includes cutting veins & arteries. Great info!!! Oh, FYI- Magnus will sharpen the blades for you.

Just my .02, I’ve worked in the steel industry as a machinist for almost 10 years and we sand steel daily. On harder steels that don’t want to sand we have really good luck with putting cutting oil on the sand paper and it will usually sand faster. Maybe that will help speed the process up some

For burr removal, you can run the edge across the end grain of a piece of lumber. Takes the burr off and saves the flat side of the edge. Learned that when I was taught how to sharpen scissors.

I don't know what has happened to fixed broadheads over the years, but those look like something from the stone age. I realize the irony in seeing a stone age tip being used with a stone age weapon, but we've come too far to back slide like this. I'll stick with more modern designs, if for no other reason than to not have to feel like I should drag my kill back to the cave upon conclusion of the hunt.

Im a guy and im staying away from the
Fairy Ranch
Like a bunch of guys playing around at the Fairly Ranch Lmfao
No thx

M390 single left hand bevel 3-1 taper 300gr broad head please.

🤣 this like listening to joe rogan overthink all of life. GD-it you people get on my nerves

Use diamond stones. Much quicker than sandpaper

Best hunting show I’ve seen on teaching what people truly NEED to know .
I’ve used my palm and even that newspaper to strop.
I sharpen until the weight of the head can shave your arm .
