I am planning on hunting with Simmons broadheads next season. I am planning on using my sharpening system with a jewel stick three sided stone. Can I work from the factory blade angle or do I need to change it? Opinions please thanks

On the jewel stik, yes you can. I think Chris Spikes changed his slightly when he got down the fine side, but you don't have to.

I put a shallower bevel on mine with a file to start, but when I used my sharpener like yours, I'm probably back close to factory bevel. I would be happy to run up with you an compare notes or show you how I sharpen mine. Chris said on old heads the bevel was too steep and he thinned his, but the new ones are beveled fine.

Martin showed me how to sharpen BroadheAds using a grinder. That's how I do it now.

I use the method Chris Spikes demonstrated. Works Great!!

Also hearing very good reviews about the sharpening tool made by Simmons. Only cost a few bucks too. I need to pick one up and give it a try as well.

The new heads have a good angle right out of the pack.

Has anyone tried the little two wheel sharpener they sell on their website?

That's what I use most of the time for all my heads. Works good on the razorheads .

I haven't used the wheel, but I've used an Accusharp and it works really well on Magnus 1's.
