I am humbled !!
With the help of JoeB and JC I gathered up the proper stuff to sharpen Snuffers with. I messed with WW's last year with a flat file and had limited luck. However with the Snuffer Tamer I was able to get a new Shuffer 160 sharp pretty quickly.. I mean sharp enough to hunt. That is it will shave hair off my arm in one pass. This is probably old stuff to most as I've not messed with 3 blade heads ever until last year and didn't hunt with them because I could not get them as sharp as I'd like. However, these Snuffers are going to the woods with me this fall. I love the great 2 blade heads that are available and have had great luck with them over the years. I am anxious to give these Snuffers a try, got to cut a BIG hole . Don't have a clue as to how they would work on heavy game but I'm betting the deer I hunt won't slow them down too much..
Thanks guys,
Pat
This has worked for me in the past, although everyone has their own method:
5 strokes per side with SHARP, BIG file
7 strokes per side on ROUGH diamond stone
7 strokes per side on FINE diamond stone
7 strokes per side on 325? Grit Auto Sand Paper
7 strokes per side on 650? Grit Auto Sand Paper
Glue the sandpaper flat on a piece of 2x4, and use it like a stone. With this method I got mine scary sharp.

Pat, get some of that buffing compound and paste Joey uses....you'll see what sharp is :eek:
Hope to see what them big 160's will do to game this year.
Here's an 160 Snuffer entry hole on a medium sized doe from a year or so back....

She didn't go far but it made for an ugly field dressing job. Not bad for a broadhead that won't penetrate according to the "new rules"!
