Can I sharpen my glue on broadheads after theyre mounted on the shaft?
A. Generally we don’t recommend it. Not that it’s not possible, just not ideal. We encourage people to pre-sharpen glue on broadheads before mounting them so that if you need to touch them up on the shaft it’s much simpler/quicker. There are a couple of reasons for this: one- the weight of the shaft will defeat the self-aligning feature of the sharpener. This is easy enough to overcome by just putting a couple fingertips on the clamp to keep the blade on the stone. The second difficulty of sharpening on the shaft is the amount of working room needed because the arrow has to move with the sharpener and broadhead as you sharpen. The knife sharpener is a much better choice for touching up mounted heads.
