You might want to try Two Guys And A Hog near Perry if you just want to shoot a pig. It's not a hunt though, that's pretty clear

Positive or negative tiller represents the relation of the top limb to the lower limb.

Positive tiller - Top limb distance is greater than the lower limb measured distance

Negative tiller - Top Limb distance is less than the lower limb measured distance

 Just ordered a wood A riser for hunting as I prefer the wood riser for cold weather.
Have the newer mag riser in A and B and really enjoy shooting them  as well for target
etc and when its warmer weather hunting.

Quote from: Friend on January 23, 2026, 08:06:35 PMTiller for three-under to better allow you to significantly enhance vertical stability ranges from even tiller to approximately negative 1/4" tiller. The positive tiller has you pushing towards the bottom limb. One quarter inch negative tiller is typically reserved for string walkers. I am not a string walker and 1/8-3/16" negative tiller is best for me.

By the term you use "negative tiller" where are your shorter  measurements from string to limb? top or bottom limb? i see folks get this interpretation ass backwards a lot.

To quote the late John Schulz, when ask how he sharpened his broadheads, he said; "with a file, I want to kill it not shave it".

If you are challenged and can't get it sharp, then start with a quality 10" single cut bastard file, then lay the point straight into the file  and push lightly, rotating the blade to get a flat bevel on each side. Do the same with with a two blade, three blade, and single cut two blade including the flat side. When you are satisfied you maintained the manufacturer's original bevel and all imperfections along the blade are gone and you are ready for the second step with a small 6 or 8 inch SC file. This time while holding the head on a short piece of shaft, point the two blade flat across the file and the sweep the blade slowly into the file. Never push the file into the blade, because you won't keep it flat and you'll end up rounding the bevel.  With a 3 blade, point the blade to one side, or the other 11:00 or 01:00 on each side. If you are doing it correctly, you will have a head that will slice paper.

The last two steps depend on whether you want a serrated blade, like a fluted obsidian arrowhead, or sharks tooth. Using the shorter file, push or pull the leading edge of the file from the center of the broadhead and perpendicular to flat blade and edge. Two to three times on each side will provide an edge that will cut through rather than push aside muscle, tissue and blood veins. Next, use a diamond sharpener to touch up a blade. There are a variety of pen style blade and fish hook sharpeners, the one I like is flat on one side, 1/2 rounded and pointed one end. It has a groove for fish hooks. You can use it to touch up broadheads, using the same stroke from the center of the blade out over the flat surface. Again, never into the blade. See the link below for one. Good luck and hunt sharp.

I have been using that method for years.  I have never had an issue.  Only drawback is it predetermines which will be the top and bottom limb.
