Day Six broadheads

[Iowabowhunter]

Hey folks, looking for a new head for my deer & bear hunts.

I have some VPA 3 blade heads, just can't get em to feel as sharp as I'd like. I have Diamond stones & followed the videos, just something about a 3 blade that doesn't feel that sharp.

Also, I really don't like how the VPA heads rust.

Wondering who all has tried the larger Day Six broadheads? I have the paper wheel, Stickboys on YouTube shows how to get em razor sharp with the bench grinder.

I understand what you are saying about the 3 blades not feeling as sharp, but I think they are sharper than you think. The bevel angle on a 3 blade head is, for lack of a better word, steeper. If you test broadhead sharpness by shaving arm hair (which most of us do), you need to increase angle of the broadhead in relationship to your arm when you try to shave hair. Most 2 blade bevels are 25 degrees give or take. Try it and see....I have been wrong before!

Blades that rust, sharpen more easily, and hold an edge better. Put a little wax on them.
Also, if you want them sharper, cut back on the pressure you finish with. Even though you think you are finishing light, it could be lighter.

During the NINE LTR hunts, 80% of all critters were killed with VPAs.

How heavy? VPA 3blade stainless go to 150 grain = no rust. I find diamond requires a lighter touch to get max sharpness. Otherwise you remove the burr every time you sharpening the opposite side of the bevel.

Get yourself a leather strop with some polishing compound. Pull the backwards on it, 5 or so strokes at a time.

Like Mike said 3 blades don't appear as sharp as 2 blades
