I like that. I am either going to have to make me one or buy one that's in the link you gave. Using just a belt is a bit awkward, but it showed me enough to see the kind of results possible. I am driving my wife crazy with this, she is complaining that I am leaving hair all over the spam. My arms lo...

Thanks Bstout, more questions may be forthcoming!!!!

Hi all, Started using and old belt of mine and I also got some Mother's Polish from Wally World (I read somewhere it would work ok who knows). Haven't had much luck with my Montecs (I think they are still too dull to strop), but my knife which cut hair before, I just have to say, holy cow. It is nas...

One more (and probably not the last) question, which side of the leather to use, the smooth side or the rough slightly furry side.

Thanks Wabi, I appreciate the support.

I do have one question and this may be silly. When sharpening say a Montec or any fixed type broadhead, you take it side to side on the stone. When stropping a fixed broadhead, do you do it the same (side to side) or do you have the point going away from you and then pull it back towards you(staying...

WOW!! Thank you all so much, I have got to get some supplies and give this a try. I already have the Gatco setup and have my hunting knives and spam knives shaving sharp. This Montec is makin' me nuts so once again thanks. The links are of great help.

Thanks Wabi, this makes me feel better, they would still pass the cutting the rubber band test, but I wanted to try and do better.I would definitely like to try Bstouts and your suggestion of the leather and metal polish. Where can you get this type of polish? Will any piece of leather work, like an...

Yes, I visited the website and am doing it same way, I have tried going light still just mediocre. Not sure what the deal is thanks for the tips.

Hi all, I have some Montec G5's and like the way they shoot, but am having a tough time getting them sharp. I am usually a decent knife sharpener but not doing well here!! I have the Montec diamond stone and broadhead is better than when I started, however doesn't seem to be close to sharp and I hav...

Thanks for all your input, I have a set and will let you know the results as soon as I get a chance to go shoot!!!

Anyone out there use G5 Montec heads? In particular with a Phoenix? Please share your results, likes dislikes, etc. I am considering a set. Thanks!!!

When shooting from a treestand (understand the best method is to practice it!!) but want to ask, does the arrow tend to hit higher, meaning for a 10 and a 20 yard shot for example how many inches might one have to aim lower for each?? I am an experienced gun hunter but the xbow is new to me!! I am h...

Yet another question from me, bear with me I am new to crossbows! Please describe how to spin an arrow/broadhead to ensure no wobble. I would prefer not to have to spend extra cash on one of the jigs I have seen in Cabela's so let me know how you guys do it. I have found some stuff on this but not i...

What is the best tool/method of sharpening blades of brodheads (especially ones with the trocar tip like a Wasp, it seems it is hard to get to the whole blade due to the shape) while the broadhead is still on the arrow? The reason I ask is once I get the head and arrow shooting nice and straight I d...
