So gonna start hunting in the next couple of weeks. Been practicing and my shooting has come right around. So I have some footed arrows from Whispering Wind that are old but gonna use these with Ribteks.

Now I am sharpening them on a guide. Got two of them razor sharp with a bit of a serrated edge. Now my question is this, one has a flatter bevel to the edge as in wider and the other a steeper bevel to the edge, you know less meat gone off the edge cantle. The wider bevel has a thinner edge and the shallower steeper angle obviously not as thin. Any difference do you all think? Both seem equally as sharp but the narrower bevel sharpened at a steeper angle has more meat to the bh. thanks

PS I can't seem to get a good pic with my camera of the steeper angled edge. But reminds me of a good knife edge.

I wouldn't worry about it unless they don't weigh the same. If you have the broadheads impact where the field points impact, you're good to go!!!

By the way, shoot the BH first.

The steeper the angle, the "duller" the edge, but more durable. You just have to find a happy medium.

I use an eight inch file with them. Ribtecs have that really cool and really stronger right wing shape to them, but that does seem to get in the way when using the ferrule as a guide for me. I get them plenty sharp with a file, then some light action with a diamond jewel stick, to get them shaving sharp, then serrate with the corner of the file then some even lighter strokes with the jewel stick. I was putting them on the arrows that i give to my friends and teaching them my modified Tom Mussato edge. When i witnessed how good they worked on three of their deer, I decided to keep the rest for myself. Excellent broad heads.

People kill big game with knapped stone. I doubt you will have any issues if they are sharp and hitting where you want them to.

I get em scary sharp with some drags accross an acccu sharp

hot and heavy at first to get the edge in shape then taper off to light and and easy strokes

make sure you spin test them good and shoot them, i have had more than a couple come crooked out of the pack that I turn into neck knives.

Well going the mill bastard route and hitting them on a honing steel. Best sharp tin can edge I've dealt with. thanks

longbow, I use Ribteks. Good steel and sharpen easily. I use my s-24 files mounted on a angled wooden block, keeps edges the. They are as good as anything else.
