Long story short, I bought some 175 grain glue on STOS for woody arrows I plan on shooting this fall out of my new Wild Horse Creek Longbow.  I can not get them sharp to save my life.  Now, I may not be the greatest at sharpening heads, but I have always gotten heads sharp.  Not these STOS!!  Can someone recommend a 160 - 175 glue on 2 blade that is easy to sharpen???

Ribtek's sharpen real easy

I've been playing with a bunch and I'm really liking tusker and ace.

Simmons.  I got mine sharp in a couple minutes each.
Good luck!

X2 on the tuskers!

Hey Mel!! I don't know if you own a KME broadhead sharpener, but if you don't... GET ONE!

It will make short work of those STOS. Well worth the investment which should only be about the same as a dozen broadheads.
 

Hi Charlie!!  I have a KME, tried it.  Also tried a file, and about 5 other sharpeners I have.  No luck.  I have used STOS in the past, always had great luck with them.  Not this batch!  I think I might of just got some real bad steel.

I thought you did. Hard telling what the quality is on the new heads. I have no idea who's making them.

Definitely something going on if a KME won't sharpen them!

Lots of other options out there.

The KME is solid

ACE!!

The Ace Express is 165 gr and a similar, but bit wider profile.  Great steel, straight edges and easily takes and holds a great edge.  It is one of my standard favorite broadheads.  They're reasonably priced, too!

I had the same problem with STOS broad head's last fall. I have a KME also & finally got them sharp enough to hunt with but it wasn't easy, seemed like I honed forever with the rough stone just to get an edge on em.

I run Simmons through a wheelie. Actually everything but VPA's I run through there. Hard to mess it up.

Right on Fletcher.

I wonder if a wheel sharpener would.help

Take a look at the 160gr. Grizzly. Bill Dunn has made alot of improvements to them, and they sharpen up real easy.

if you looking for a 2 blade for sure.Id say go with a proven head like a delta.i use just a file and finish with a ceramic stick

Ace are very easy to sharpen.
