Best way to sharpen a fixed blade broadhead?

Arrow went into the sand, should I put it on my wet stone? Seems tricky.

depends on the head...

3 blade I like to lay em flat on a bastard file and do 2 blades at a time. For 2 blades I prefer a Rada sharpener. Easy peasy

Its a 3 blade. Whats the technical term for a "bastard file"

I bought the sik broad head fixed and it says to use a bastard file. I have a smiths diamond grinder that works good on knives but doesn’t do a good job on these heads. I have to buy a clean one soon but I would think the bastard file or a sandstone would work for any head. 20-30 degree angles. Sik says 27 degrees.

This video should give you an idea. You can use stones or diamond plates too. Leather stropping really puts a razors edge on.
