Here's a link to a YouTube video that I made to show how I sharpen our new single bevel 3-blade broadhead. I had a heck of a time trying to get a good quality video to download, but I think this is pretty good as far as clarity. I have another that shows how to use a jig to sharpen these with a stone. Fire away with any questions.

I don't see the b/h on your website.
When are they gonna be here! LOL!!
Hi Kyle, I'll have them up for sale by the 15th. Wanted to post the video first so people could make an informed decision before buying.
Ryan, soon my man, soon. School is crazy for another week then I will have more time for getting these things sharpened and packaged.

Just kiddin ya buddy! Take care up there. I will look at the video to get a jump start. Love the video. They look real good Stan!
What are the weights being offered? I think I would like to try them on a piggy in Sept.
How can you tell a broadhead manufacturer? But the bald spots on his arm! haha
Great looking heads Stan. Looks like they'd leave a real nice blood trail.
Hi Kyle, for now we've got a 150 grain glue-on head and a 100 grain screw-in head.
Here's a link to how to build the jig. Bear with me guys, video is not my forte. I'll get a video showing how to use the jig and how they shoot later tonight after league.

Wow I am sure going to like the ones that I win.
A 150 on a 100 adapter sounds just about right for the FMJ's. I'm looking for a bh to shoot on my first wood arrows I'm building also. When they're ready, I'd like to try them next to a 160 Grizzly. Will they be rt's, lefts, or can you order both?
Kyle, the first ones we had done were in rights.
New video added in the first post showing the jig in use.
Nice job on the jig Stan! I like it.
Looks great Stan. Can't wait to try it!
Got your heads and a jig in the mail today, Ryan. Let me know when they arrive :D
Stan,
Those look great!!! Have you had a chance to test what kind of channel they make? Very curious!!!
Hey Arwin, thanks. I have a video that I'll try to put up tonight that shows how the heads spin as they penetrate.
Awesome! I'll keep a heads up. :thumbsup:
BTW the Talons are SWEEEET!! :cool:
Not the best video, but I think it'll show how the arrows spin when I pull them out of the target. You really have to twist to get them out, they don't come out with a straight pull.

That is what I was interested in, them spiraling as they pass through. That my friend will be devastating.

Your sharpening jig is ingeniously simple....now why didn't I think of that? I have some mahoganey (sp?) downstairs that I now know what I am going to with. It has also occurred to me that you could use threaded rods and drill several "post holes" to change the angle without having to adjust the washer assembly. Thanks for a neet thread.

Why will that be devastating? On a BS or 1/4 away critter how much do you think they'll actually rotate as they penetrate?
Stan, The head looks good bud. But I'm not sure I see the advantage over a double bevel 3 blade.
Never had any urge to try a single bevel 2 blade, but since these are 3 blades, they have me kinda intrigued....
Sorry for posting.

Hi Curt, in my broadhead target I see the arrow rotating about 180 degrees in 12 inches or so of penatration. Not sure how that will affect wound channels, planning on finding out on hogs in July :D
The main reason that I wanted to do a single bevel three blade is that it is sharper. When I sharpened three blades with a double bevel I always did them two blades at a time. That produces a 60 degree angle on each blade. By going with a single bevel we are able to get the blade angle down to 34 degrees, 26 degrees sharper.
Now, I understand that is only the angle that is sharper, and much depends on a persons ability to hone an edge. I have Woodsmans and Snuffers that I have gotten very sharp at 60 degrees and think they are both great heads. However, I have personally never gotten a 3-blade as sharp as I can make one of these Phoenix heads.
Having said that, I'm new to this ballgame and although I've done some research and some testing, I'm very eager to learn what others experiences are.
I will let you know when I get them Stan! Thanks!
Thanks Bill, I hope you post pics of your jig when you're finished. I'd like to see it. Here's another little video that shows a modification that you can do to make it work with two blades.

J-dog, Why are you "sorry for posting"? I was just responding to your statement with a legitimate question.
Thanx for the reply Stan....
I've watched your video's and that's awful impressive how easy it was for you to get the head shaving with just a file.
Like I said, I'm intrigued...
Good luck on the hogs, I'm sure looking forward to the field reports as these heads get more and more use.
Red feather Archery..... :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
I have to admit, I was pretty skeptical of the pro's to a single bevel 3-blade. However, your videos speak volumes Stan. I am thoroughly impressed. Can't wait to see the results of your hog hunt...

I got my new phoenix heads the other day. What a well made broadhead. I can get a real good edge on them, and with a little more practice, I think I will be able to get a scary sharp edge. Great broadhead Stan! Can't wait to put it through a critter.
