in reply to: KME Broadhead sharpener, Single Bevel? #19173
FAQ Section on KME’s site for the Broadhead Sharpener says you can use it on single bevel…see below…http://www.kmesharp.com/fabrsh.html
Q: Can I use the broadhead sharpener on single bevel broadheads?
A: Yes, for single bevel broadheads, do 95% of the “work” on the bevel side. First, raise a burr with your coarse stone. As soon as you’re sure you have a continuous burr running the length of the blade, move to the next grit. Don’t remove the burr just yet. Continue to polish/refine the bevel side with the finer stones. As you progress through the grits, the burr will get slightly heavier. After you polish the bevel on your finest stone, flip the clamp and using only forward strokes and very light pressure, do the absolute minimum necessary to remove the burr. Then finish with a few alternating passes on each side of the blade. Again, using all forward strokes. At this point the head should be shaving hair. To take it to the next level of sharpness, strop the blade on a piece of dry corrugated cardboard. Just tear a good sized flap off a cardboard box and with the head still in the sharpener, make about 8 backward passes over the cardboard on each side of the blade, then a few one- flip, one-flip… again all backward strokes on the cardboard.

Got my take-down Expedition Hunter yesterady in the mail from Nate. 62 inch AMO length, 55 lbs at 29 inch draw length. Cocobola riser with padauk accent, 5 bamboo laminations and elk/deer stag tip overlays. I was a really good boy this year.
That is one sweet bow. How does she shoot?

I really like the feel of the bow in my hand. I’ll see if the wifey can take some video of me this weekend shotting in the bow to post.

Mechanical broadheads are a disgusting marketing gimmick that unfortunately lures some people in. Any properly aligned two-blade will fly like a field point.
Mechanicals work with compounds (sometimes) because the arrow is flung so fast a golf ball on the tip could cause serious damage.
Stick with a two blade.
Agreed. I believe it it’s eith TBB vol 3 or 4 that shows pics of mechanical broadheads from the 1940’s. So the idea isn’t new at all.
in reply to: Bamabows Hunter Expedition (Pic's Update) #52808That sure is a beauty…really like the black glass and handle wrap with the bocote. How about naming her “Black Beuty”?

I went with a Bocaote riser and riser overlay,3-lams of walnut + coreglass limbs (Nate recommended walnut for speed) with phenolic,Bocote,and Elk tips and he hit my weight,45# @ 27″ right on the money. If it is anything like the reviews I’ve read it should shoot like a dream.
