Magnus Broadhead Sharpening Tips

[@davehoward2791]

Per Magnus, #1 Phillips screwdriver for the screw. Great content, liked and subbed! 👍👍

[@lukejensen3486]

I shot an Elk last year with the black hornet ser razor. Great results! I sent Mike from Magnus a picture and he couldn't have been nicer. Sent me a hat and even asked if my broadhead was ok. I'm a magnus fan for life!

[@humbledb4jesus]

when i went searching for broadheads, the plethora of consistent positive reviews for the stingers made the decision on which to use next fall easy as pie.. the first thing i noticed when i bought them was they weren't very sharp - so i took to youtube and my first vid is this one... thanx brother...

[@monitorcrazy9639]

How’d they do?

[@jasoncisneros-meier3087]

Love the content and the education / responsibility level you bring to the sport we all enjoy so much. I'm always telling guys to check out the fairy, keep slayin them hogs!

[@bigdaddycain9840]

Troy Thank-You for showing us how to sharpen these blades. I took the time and sharpened mine like you have showed us. Where I live, I get 1 deer a year. I shot my deer just infront of the 2nd to last rib and it came out at the bottom of the hind quarter. deer went 250 yards and just fell over. would have never have done that with factory sharpness. Keep up the great videos......PJ

Love your T-shirt very funny. I don’t understand why people think what you’re trying to teach us about high FOC is crazy. But agree with Dr. Ashby findings. It’s all the same stuff. This year my wife and I will be shooting high FOC arrows. Hers are about 730-740 grains Mine are about 715 grains. Look out hogs here we come. Lol

Another great video Troy. Been shooting the Magnus Broadheads for a few years and never had an issue. Not only will I strop them when I take them out of the package, but when I'm hunting, I'll be sure to strop them a few times to keep that edge crazy sharp.

Another good video if people would just listen just a little bit they just might possibly learn something from the video that you are getting out there keep them coming.

[@charlesbeaver5665]

That'd be a #1 Philips screw driver for the screw. The individual serrations can be sharpened also......with a string (stretched between 2 nails in a block of wood) coated with buffing compound. Just be sure when the string is pulled through it's pulled away from the ferrule and on the deepest side of the serration. Sharpen the serrations FIRST then the main blade.

Okay so I am probably not the only Jazz guitarist who hunts . Here’s some good news! Rocky Mountain Specialty Gear sells broad heads and offers excellent sharpening services! Now you can kill deer in the morning and keep all of your fingers to play some Frank Sinatra in the evening!

[@TheFattalon]

question Ranch fairy. Have you seen the Valkyrie broad heads??

[@trxe420]

Exactly, you almost have to look at it like they expect you to personally hand sharpen them. Could you imagine how expensive broadheads would be if they hand sharpened everything lol. I think of it as shot protection, I feel so much less pressure because I know if I miss my mark, at the very least that sucker is going to cut and give me the best chance at a kill shot. Do you have any tips on sharpening replacement blade broadheads, say like a QAD Exodus or is it pretty much the same thing?

[@andycivils9612]

When you strop a new magnus do you only strop each side once? Or a couple times?

[@boomerrangerron]

I too have had great success with the MAGNUS Black Hornet serrated blades. Shooting them out of my Barnett Raptor FX, they go through hogs like a hot knife through butter! That said, I've never sharpened, them, just always use a new blade. Is your stropping device hand made using a piece of leather? The barbers used to use a leather strop to put the final edge on their straight razors. Good video Troy!

[@RanchFairy]

That particular one is the ranch fairy strop available in the ranch fairy store

What do you think about the QAD Exodus crossbow broadheads?? I have a Ravin R10. I'm trying to get away from mechanical broadhead. I was shooting NAP Double cross crossbow broadheads and don't like the penetration plus if hit a bone the head stops dead. Like to see if you have a video of shooting the QAD Exodus crossbow broadheads with crossbow if you have one. I'm also looking at getting different bolts because not happy with Ravin's bolts. If you don't like the Exodus what crossbow broadhead would you recommend??

[@rorynelson7548]

I used these magnus for two years, got reasonable blood trails and was happy with them I guess. Better than exodus. Luckily, I decided to try a grim reaper whitetail special.. I'm so glad I did. Last year the buck I killed was at 31 yards, I was shaking like a leaf and hit dead on liver. We all know what can happen with a liver shot. If I hadn't been using the grim reaper, that would have been the case. The big 3 blade hit gut, liver and thank God, lung also. Them grim reapers leave a hellacious bloodtrail. Goes to show every broadhead has a downfall though, had perfect shot placement on a doe with the grim reaper, but must have caught esophagus because I had gut matter though it was a double lung hit. Guess that's better than having a smaller bloodtrail, and less lethality on the animal though. BTW, have yet to not have a full pass through with the grim reapers. And I only shoot a 27.5" draw length and a 53 pound draw weight.

[@misterwhymer4473]

Have shot the grim reapers for years, had the same results until I caught a buck in the scapula and did not get good penetration.. switching to the magnus for this upcoming season

[@rorynelson7548]

Good luck this year, hope you get the one you're after

[@MagnusBroadheads]

Rory-thanks for using our magnus broadheads. If you look at Troys blood trails video it will show you exactly what happens sometimes with blood trails. Shot placement still is the biggest factory on blood trails from all broadheads

Shot a deer with the 4 blade model. They fly well. Experimenting with the Ozcut Chinese knock offs. Can get them reasonably sharp, but takes some work. Not sure if they are all tempered the same. Some of these stainless steel broadheads seem to be harder steel than others and more difficult to sharpen. They are the best flying, traditional style, cut on contact broadheads I have ever shot. They have the same cutting width as as Zwicky Eskimo. 150 grains, monolithic. We shall see.
