Tex Grebner teaches you how to sharpen a three-blade fixed-head broadhead The legality of broadheads where you are Rotate the broadhead the other way and repeat.

Do this about ten times, then rotate the broadhead until you have sharpened each side of each blade. Keep pressure against the arrow and move the head back and forth in the direction of the tip of the broadhead.
