tedicast Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 Re: Broad head alighnment The critical thing is to be sure that there is no wobble in the broadheads. That is one main culprit of erratic broadhead flight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] I don't think it matters. The main thing is there is no wobble meaning the BH is straight with the shaft. But remember: it can only spin as good as the tip.

Guest kunegos Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 Re: Broad head alighnment What everyone else said....As lond as your broadheads are tuned it should not make any difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] That statement is absolutely not true. A drop away rest will not clear up erratic flight caused by broadheads that are not square to the shaft. Helical may hide it some. With properly tuned bh's you don't need helical to shoot consistent groups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 Re: Broad head alighnment tedicast is exactly right . improperly aligned insetrts cause more erratic arrow flight for broadheads than any other thing.. i shoot straight fletch on all my arrows and they shoot broadheads just perfect as long as they are spin tuned to the shaft.. sometimes guys get lucky by lining up the broadheads with the fletching and some get lucky by making sure they arent .. but if you put the broadhead on and spin the shaft and the broadhead wobbles. then that means that your broadhead and insert and arrow shaft are not lined up properly.. to get them to line up right and spin perfect means that you have to turn the insert to find the correct spot on the shaft that the broadhead and insert and arrow like the best.. to do this you must heat the insert with a field point in it.. but only lightly heat them . you can ruin carbon arrows with to much heat.. just enough to soften the hot melt and turn the insetrt 1/4 turn.. then spin with the broadhead on and see if it balences out by not wobbling.. just repeat the process to get them all to fly perfect.. i have been doing this for 3 years now and it works so well that my field tips and broadheads fly exactly the same...

tedicast Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 Re: Broad head alighnment We make arrows that are specific for bh's. We spin test the bh's before the insert glue is dry. That way we are sure we are going to have proper broadhead alignment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archerjg Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Re: Broad head alighnment I screw them in until they are tight and then leave them where they are. Archerjg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bowhunter56 Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Re: Broad head alighnment Just screw mine on and do a spin check, no wobble and feel comfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
