Tighten yer' Broadheads
So what does everyone here use to tighten their broadheads? Any homemade solutions or just ....

I picked up a broadhead wrench from the local sporting goods store.

Just me thumb and fingers. Been hand tightening them forever....and I still have all me digits intact too!
Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars.

Re: Tighten yer' Broadheads
Get a wrench to tighten and loosen them.

For slick-tricks, took a piece of steel rod (any metal would do) and counter bored the end with a bit about a 1/16" larger than the diameter of the point and about 1/4-5/15" deep. Wipe the point lightly with paste wax or mould-release. Work Marine Tex into the cavity to mostly fill it and lightly coat the slick-trick point (AFTER applying release -to prevent voids). Set the point into the prepared cavity and support it so it stays vertical till it sets up. Drill a through hole crossways on the other end and use a hex key or a small rod for a torque handle.
This worked for me. There is a 4-corner-to-point mating surface. Press hard downward and apply a moderate torque. I suppose any good epoxy would work but I always keep Marine Tex around for stuff like this. It is "bullet proof".

Re: Tighten yer' Broadheads
Usually delicately finger tighten. Remove with cheap plastic broadhead tool. So far (after 40 years of bow hunting) I still have all my fingers. Lol
