Stingers sharp enough?
i just got a pack of magnus stinger 4 blade broadheads. I was wondering if these need to be sharpened or if out of box they are good enough to knock down animals. how do you sharpen them if you do?

They should be more than sharp enough out of the box - magnus has a good reputation for making good sharp heads. As for resharpening them i saw a video the other day where a guy was sharpening them. I don't remember where i saw it but if you look i'm sure you can find it.

Then they need sharpening. I use Magnus myself, and it seems to me that their steel is pretty hard. It may take more than a few licks to sharpen them. Once they get sharp though, they'll stay that way.

Shaving hair is not the same as slicing through veins and arteries, hair is tougher and more resistant to cutting. The motion used to cut them is also different, you're chopping rather than slicing. Run a broadhead straight from the package across the face of a steak, if it cuts cleanly and easily the blade is sharp enough, if it drags or tears hone it.
