How often do you touch up your broadheads during the hunting season? I feel that I dull the head a bit every time I put it back in the quiver.
I like to do it nightly around a fire... :campfire:

Wish I had that option... If it won't pop hair I put a few light strokes with the file to it and it should be good.
im usually a weekend warrior with work ,etc, so thurs night is when i touch up, and ready to head out friday to kill
I check them the night before I hunt. A few strokes with a file or jewel stick is all it takes.
I resharpen them just before the hunt, then check them during the hunt and redo if needed.
I check mine sporadically and hit them on the crock stick when required. Usually I take the same arrow out every time so it's the only one I have to sharpen every couple of hunts.
I'll touch up my heads as needed...check them periodically. Except the ones I just had Ron at KME sharpen for me. :readit:
I cut myself twice already on those dam heads... :nono:
I touch my heads up with a 10 mil file and leather strop. In the field I use a carbide sharpner like the one Bear archery offered. does a quick job of putting a hollow ground edge on .
Whenever they dont shave,check them before every trip to the woods
I keep one of the two sided DMT folding hones in my quiver. If I get bored I tend to shoot at every critter that comes by so I tend to do a lot of "in the field" touch-ups. LOL
If I pull one out and it doesn't "catch" on my finger nail when I drag it like a wood scraper, a few strokes with the weight of the file only.
After buying the Tusker KME Sharp heads, they're hard enough steel, they STAY sharp.
I test them regularly, but a strop over the cardboard Ron suggests usually does it. For serious "touch up" a couple licks in the BH Pro on each stone... and BAM...
How fast can you find the band-aids!
