Water and sharpen?

[UpStateRedNeck]

Amazon then click "Buy again"

[biggamefish]

Soap and water. Sharpen then put some vaseline on them so the don't rust... or I mean slide through the deer better.

[Marion]

Water and dry then replace blades

Discard

[Fletch]

Rinse in the sink wit soap and water and a bristle brush. Set on the stove to dry off. Sharpen up and shoot another! As long as the blades didn’t get bent.

I like to swirl them around in the pond trying carefully not to cut up any of the goldfish.

I’m looking for a better sharpening/honing stone for my broadheads. The G5 stone I bought a few years back lost all its grit, and is now smooth. Any recommendations on durable sharpening stones?

Mine never get very dirty.  They only seem to go from the quiver to the rest and back again.

[Rebel Darling]

Realized I diverted from the thread topic.  Sorry about that...

 

I clean mine in hot water, using a sponge when necessary, and let dry.  I sharpen the next day.  Hadn't thought of using some sort of oil/lubricant to prevent rusting.  I like that idea.

Remove the head, throw in the trash....Or remove lighted nock and throw arrow/bolt and head in trash....

[BizCT]

Save it for the scrapbook and use a new one next!

Finally got around to cleaning my head and arrow from Sunday mornings spike. Nap thunderhead- point was fine so just replacing the blades. After cleaning the shaft(hehe!) i noticed what looks like a crack in the arrow and a chip in the insert where the head screws in. Flexed it a bunch of directions and no snap. Not taking any chances regardless so that arrow is now in the trash.

smart man. I've seen some horrific pics of re-used arrows going through people's hands.

Exactly !

[Don_C]

I will clean them with bleach and water with a toothbrush. If it is undamaged I'll keep it in the quiver for an unforeseen shot opportunity at a coyote or something.  I basically consider them one and done for deer, even fixed blades, though I have reused on deer a time or two. 

I will reuse arrows though, I don't see a problem with that at all if it is undamaged. I am shooting FMJs so you really can't flex them too much, but unless it is a hard impact through bone or into rocky ground after the shot I reuse it. There is no way I will ever believe an arrow slamming into a target over and over again all summer long is ok, but one or two clean pass throughs on a deer isn't.

check out the 4 sided diamond stone at Harbor freight. we bought one to just bang around on the counter where we cut up deer. it actually works great and I use to do my Montec G5's on it. I think it was less than 30 bucks and has 4 different grits.

I rough rinse and hit it with a tooth brush with a little soap. Rinse and then resharpen. Better than new.

I've been looking for something for this.  I like the Montecs too but have a devil of a time trying to get them good and sharp.  I just have an extra set I dulled the edges on for practice.

depends on what it is. usually it's rinse, take apart, inspect for damage, wash with soap, reassemble/replace parts/sharpen, and then spin test.

it's like a chainsaw chain or anything else. damage to the edge takes a lot of strokes to make go away. keep count and make the same passes to keep the sides/blades the same weight and height for balance. unless your grit is real coarse you're not removing enough material to make it to the actual edge if the sides aren't looking polished. i try to go into the same cuts in the quiver foam so taking arrows in and out don't dull your edge.

[rob-c]

Hot water and soap, then I will spin it in my arrow roller. If all is good , new blades and another spin on the roller to check alignment. 
Now having said that , I am shooting Magnus black hornets this yr and Magnus has a lifetime replacement and sharpening . No matter how the head was damaged they will replace for free.
