My dad is shooting the NAP hellrazor, He shot one in the dirt on a miss, and another went through his buck and stuck in the dirt so they're extremely dull. Do any of you guys know an easy way to sharpen these three bladed broadheads. We have been trying to us a flat stone but it doesnt seem to be helping. Any info would be great. Thanks

Several ways to do it, I like a file edge best.
How I sharpen Snuffers:
Use a 12 inch mill file and file back-to-tip, 2 edges at once until both edges appear same. Rotate and repeat times 2 on other sides.
Use an 8" med/fine file (Grizzly, Abe's, etc) and file back-to-tip with medium pressure, 1 stroke on 2 edges at once. Rotate and repeat until all edges have been stroked at least 4 or 5 times. Decreasing the pressure on the last rounds will help.
Take a juice glass or tumbler and set it on the table. Be sure the glass rim is rounded and smooth. Lightly draw the broadhead from back-to-tip across the rim of the glass. Rotate and repeat several times. The final strokes should have almost no downward pressure..just extremely light contact with the glass.
Verify that your broadheads are now nightmare sharp and put them safely in your quiver.
Then you can use the tumbler to celebrate!

16" mill bastard file 90 strokes.
then to a stone for 90 more.
then it's time for some leather... when it cuts my arm hair clean... it's sharp
Charlie Lamb has a great tutorial on the Trad Gang video on how to sharpen 3 blade heads.
