Where did that G4 go?

PS.......... any tips to sharpening these G4's I have two from last year that need sharpening...I have 6 all together and my thunderheads...

I used to sharpen my Rothhaar Snuffers and Wensel Woodsmans on a mill bastard file, snugged up in a vice.  I had an old busted aluminum shaft that I glued an insert into and I'd screw the head into the short shaft and run it down the file.  I had a vice (most do) that swiveled and I'd turn it so the front of the file was pointing at me.

It might take quite a bit to get things worked to the proper angle.  To arrive at THAT angle, grab a Sharpie and blacken the edges of the broadhead and run it one direction (away from you of course) a bunch of times until all the black is gone.  Keep rotating the shaft on the file, you don't need to get each edge in a single run. 

I truly enjoyed that part of traditional archery and miss it a bit. Have fun!
