How to Sharpen G5 Broadheads

The G5 broadhead is a triple-edged arrowhead used exclusively for bow-hunting rather than target practice. It is also an arrowhead specifically designed for re-use, and as such must be cleaned and maintained properly to ensure that it always functions at its peak efficiency. You will need to sharpen your G5 broadhead from time to time so it has the necessary proper cutting edge for hunting.

Things You'll Need

Felt-tip marker
Flat diamond stone

Instructions

- 1
  Color in the blade edges -- the sides of the blades, not the actual cutting edge -- with your felt-tip marker.
- 2
  Place your diamond stone on a flat surface.
- 3
  Position your G5 broadhead onto the diamond stone so the tip is pointing toward one of the long edges.
- 4
  Rub the arrowhead back and forth on the diamond stone. Pause frequently to examine the blades and see how much marker has been scraped off.
- 5
  Continue sharpening until all the marker is gone from the metal. Turn over the arrow to the next side and sharpen that side in the same manner. Continue sharpening until all the edges are sharp again.
