sharpening Deltas

[Butch Speer]

No matter which method you use, work the triple thick tip first. After that's done, sharpen like any other broadhead.

I do my straight edge 90 degrees to the bench on a mill bastard file to true it up perfectly straight. Then clamp into the KME and use it on the file to do the rough grind on the angles. Then switch over to the stones. Takes a bit of work but once done only needs touching up.

Great segment on this topic, among many others, on The Bowhintets of Tradgang DVD.

Used a Darex LLC "Worksharp, Guided Field Sharpener" on some Magnus with outstanding results.  Would imagine it would work on any broadhead.  $29.99 at Cabelas.

 Sharpening Deltas

[Jon Stewart]

I gound the bleeder blades off, turned them into two blades and use a file.

I just got a pack of Deltas this weekend. 5 minutes with a RADA wheelie sharpener and they were popping a few hairs. 5 more minutes with a leather belt and they were shaving. The hardest part was the transition from the triple thick tip to the main blade but once I hit it with a file a few times then followed up with the RADA it came out quite nice.

They fly great too! My field points are bare shaft tuned with 175gr tips and these big wide deltas hit right with them. I'm thinking It'll go through a deer with my 45lb longbow and 460gr arrows. Sure looking forward to trying!

Just an aside: I weighed them on a grain scale and in a 3 broadhead pack they ranged from 176.8gr to 172.4gr with the grain weight posted as 170. Not that it matters but I am OCD. My wensel woodsmans and grizzlys are +/- 0.5gr.
