Single Bevel Sharpener

I just ordered a single bevel sharpener from Alaska Bowhunting Supply. Has any of you tried this? If so, what do you think?

Never tried the single bevel one Todd, but the double never worked for me... don't know if I put to much pressure on it or what, but they never would get sharp enough for my taste...

I even bought the holster

Nail, I've been sharpening them with a file for years.. Grizzlies still don't get sharp enough! And J.T. I got the sheath too. LOL

I bought mine for field touchups so I would have to carry a file or a stone... but... never could get it to work for me...

Can't believe you bought the holster too Todd... although it did (does) look good... LOL

I've heard a lot of guys recommend that type of file... never tried it... looks like a fellow could ruin a broadhead pretty quick as aggressive as those teeth are...

I've used a mill file with a double cut and it worked pretty good. and the lil shaver i've had for about 20 years still works great on double bevel. If I don't like this sharpener then I'm out 30 bucks I guess!

Also, I have the new Grizzlies. Left wing with the new 25 degree angle. Which is what the sharpener is.

 It saddens me to learn that you are left wing

Ask Dennis, His arrows have both left and right wing feathers.. On the same arrow. When I first got into archery left wing feathers were cheaper. So I got all left wing stuff! Now it's all the same price. But as far as voting left wing? I would rather gouge my own eyes out!!!  GOP!!

Speaking of wing.. I should be getting a Red Wing Slim Line Pro in the mail tomorrow. It's a nice one made around 69. Before they sold to AMF! I can't wait!
