Bought a 35 deg guide and sandpaper kit and sharpened my first VPA single bevel head tonite. Very pleased with the results on a new set of heads. S7 tool steel can get really sharp and i only used 800, 1200, and 2500 with buff compound. I can only imagine if i started at 2 or 400 grit
.Thanks for making a guide that works and like u taught us, the key is that burr ;) wonderful tools.
I bought your systems a few years back for Iron Wills and Cutthroats.. I haven't stayed in contact but have to tell you that your system is the first thing that ever gave me confidence in sharpening myself. I had never seen results with any other sharpening system. I was going through my stuff and saw your 3d printed guides and thought.. I wonder if he's still making these. Glad to see your getting better and better! Investing equipment into the company. Super happy to see.
Great video for ease of use of the guides and also the quality of the VPA’s! Very informative, Thanks!
Just ordered from you guys. Thanks for the guidance when it comes to sharpening these!
Just received my 35 degree guide and it works beautifully! I had a hair-shaving edge on one of my 150 grain single bevel heads in 2 minutes.
Where did you order it?
Please explain your process!
@@ryancarrier3677 Yes please I spent hours on mine and wont shave even using this guide!
@@timothylove8839 How much pressure are you applying when dragging the blade/guide? Are you taking the burr off after each grit? Using sandpaper or stones?
It’s great to see someone that truly knows what they are talking about! Your videos are an absolute gift. 🙏
Excellent job once again on getting a broadhead to an incredible level of sharpness. Additionally, thank you for highlighting the Broadhead Connection - it seems like a good resource for persons seeking to try a head out before committing to a large outlay of money.
You are the man Ron. Thanks for another great video.
Great job, Great instruction on technique of sharpening, Great information!
very informative and great instruction!! well done
Great stuff Ron!
Thank You This is just what I needed. I have your other sharpeners and they have been awesome. Thank You
I have one of your other sharpeners and have been very satisfied.
Great video! Just ordered a 35 degree guide
And 15 mins after I placed my order, i received a tracking number. Will definitely spread the word.
This is so cool,love it
The Stay Sharp guide is really good, but sharpening those VPAs is a very time consuming process, imo sandpaper does very little, I invested in a set of Diamond plates from DMT, but even with the 325 it takes hours to get a usable edge.....
Nice product and video,thanks
I have trying to modify your roller sharpeners for these new VPA single bevels.
Now I don’t have too!
Will order one today. I’m sure they will come out with 250 and 300 grn.
would you be willing to sell the stl file for your guides? i have a printer, and could come up with something very similar, but figured i'd pay you a little for the file vs just re designing my own.
Nice video. I like VPA stuff also. Do you worry about odor from the rust preventatives?
good video as usual. can u do a video on your broadhead collection and how you made your little metal clips to hold each arrow stub? that would be real interesting. thanks innovative
Those are just simple fuse holders repurposed to hold a small section of arrow.
@@innovativeoutdoorsman5067 your broadheads collection is still impressive
We need more fact based testing like yours. Great job.
Hi there just found your channel and man you know what you doing. I'm here in South Africa and would love to get hold of this sharpening tool, do you have a website where I could order one? Thank you for a great channel
Great video, where did you get the 35 degree guide and roller? I just received my 200gr heads from VPA and want to sharpen them like yours.

I went with these heads and your sharpening guide. After working on two. I noticed after getting the sides extremely sharp. The front where the two sides form the "tip" was flat across like a screwdriver and did not come together to a sharp edge. How should I address this?
I noticed that in this video you mentioned Hornadys One Shot CASE lube but in the link to other site that shows testing the product is Hornadys One Shot Gun Cleaner and Lube. Are these two products similar enough?
Wonder if the square tip shows any difference in penetration as opposed to a pointed one like a Cutthroat or Tuffhead? I’d imagine if there is it would be negligible.
Could I use this guide on my cutthroats instead of putting 35" of tape on my single bevel guide?
How do you keep track of how much material is removed from each side so that balance of broadhead is not uneven? Thank you.
By getting the burr. When I reach a burr on one side, I flip it over and work the other side until I get a second burr. Ive never had a problem with balance or removing too much from a single side.
Ron, do you break the burr off at the end of the last grit? Or do you break it off at the end of each grit you use?
break the burr off with each grit.
I purchased the VPA 35-degree guide and find it impossible to get a razor-like edge. It will get "polished," but the edge is not as sharp as it should be. I am sure most of this is due to my "use" of the guide; however, I follow this video to the tee and am perplexed as to why I cannot get this sharp. Is there anyone who can help coach this old guy on how to make the best of this? Thank you.
You taking the burr off with every after every grit sand paper?
I just started using your 35 today. On one of the levels it's not lieing flat. Should I just keep working it until it is? I colored it with a sharpen and it's not getting it to the edge. Any suggestions?
bring that part of the blade out of the jaws. Adjust until you have even wear.
Thanks man.
What grit sandpaper would you have started with if you had shot into target? What about an animal?
It depends on the edge damage. If really dull or you need to remove some nicks in the blade, I start with 240 or 400 grit. If its just dull from target practice, perhaps 800. But then you finish with 1200 and 2500 and then buffing compound before taking it to the field to hunt.
@@innovativeoutdoorsman5067 awesome! Thanks for the vids man! It gives me confidence to purchase, use and be able to sharpen these heads
I’m having trouble getting a burr with 2500. I went down to 2000 for a long long time (2 full sheets of 2000 grit) and still couldn’t get a burr. Is it even possible to detect the burr at that grit with the post it note? I had a burr at 1200 for sure. It’s pretty sharp but not shaving hair sharp so I’m just trying to figure out what to do to get that final level of sharpness. I did strop it for a long time with the compound too just in case and it didn’t seem to change it
Make sure the the paper strip has a fresh cut end and you are poking at the burr at about a 45 degree angle.
Do a video on the simmons sharks..see you have but you did not show how u did....I bought ur c jig just for simmions heads
How sharp is the tip where the two edges meet? How sharp should it be?
It two is a knife edge. That is why dome grind a tanto tip
You make this look too easy. I bought your jig and the sandpaper and cannot get a Burr. Jig works well, I'm trying to Sharpen 300 grain VPA single bevels. Im really struggling!
Are you using our diamond plates? Our silicone carbide paper???
@@innovativeoutdoorsman5067 silicone carbide paper
@@mitchellshirk2533 Thats the problem. That steel is too hard for silicone carbide paper. Diamond plates are the answer.
@@innovativeoutdoorsman5067 thank you!
I finished my Cutthroats with a 10,000 grit before stroping. Just because.
What compound are you using on the strop to follow that up? 1-micron or 0.5-micron?
@@rtardjuice I didn't use any compound but I probably should have. I likely would have used .5.
Can you shave the hair off a mosquito's chin? I bet you can!
After the strope do you flip and remove any burr? Great video!
yes but there is not much of a burr after buffing but yes.
@@innovativeoutdoorsman5067 Thanks!
Would you recommend with these broadheads starting out at a low grit to start? Or a medium and go to 2500
Do you ship to uk
no.
Think that's why they are heavy to be reused over and over over over over over over over over over over over over over over over over over over again 😆
