I'm not steady enough to do this free hand. What are your sharpening devices/jigs that you've used to sharpen broadheads? I have both single and double bevel heads to clean up

I used the same system I use with the rest of my knives.
Worked good. I was shocked at how even though they were supposed to all be the bevel angle they were not, some requiring more work than others.

I have one for my magnus broadheads. It seems he has updated his instructions.
I ended up with a Work Sharp Precision Adjust system. Capital One Shopping had 30% rebate so it was close to his 3D printed jig

2nd for Stay Sharp. It does take a bit to get used to it though, or at least it did for me.

Another for stay sharp. His videos are pretty nice to watch. I believe he is running a sale on some blemished product or at least he was when I ordered a few things a week or so ago.

I’ve used my Gatco to sharpen Magnus, but decided to try the Stay Sharp. I would recommend the Stay Sharp guide 100%. Very easy to work with

Stay Sharp hands down for broadheads.

Stay sharp. Buy the diamond stones down to 2500 grit.

Update: The StaySharp jigs currently offered for the sweeping blade design of the single bevel I have chosen to use don't have enough angle. He has a 32 degree for the straight single bevels (Iron Will) but not the sweeping design I needed. His Jig "C" only goes to 25 degrees.
The Work Sharp Precision maxes out at 32 degrees (realistically 30) so that's the choice I had to make based on bevel angle. I can get the broadheads shaving sharp but with the hardened steel it is a chore. Unfortunately, the deal I got with the Crimson Talon was too good to be true and all the broadheads are duller than dull so I am forced to spend about 20 minutes per head to get them to minimum hunting sharpness and another 5 minutes of honing to get them to razor sharp.
