Title: need gear suggestions. broadhead sharpener and fletching remover
Post by: DoubleJ on June 19, 2012, 08:15:57 PM: I need a few good recommendations for a broadhead sharpener that will work for magnus stingers. My snuffers were easy to sharpen on a stone. The stingers, i'm afraid i'll mess the angle up.

I also dinged up some fletches today and need to remove them and the glue so i can re-fletch. Up til now i've used quickfletches. This time i got a jig and went to town. Then realized i should have wrapped them instead of gluing straight to the shaft. Oops. Live and learn. Now whats the best removal tool out there?

Thanks

I have used the Bohning arrow stripper as well, the one with the red handle, and I didn't care for it.

As for broad head sharpening you might take a look at the Kme Knife sharpener
