Guest HaDeRonDa Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Re: all bowhunters i need help Did a blade prematurely open? I know, I know, like you can see it happen right? How about is a vane loose at it's leading edge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jellis Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Re: all bowhunters i need help Shoot a fixed blade, they are much more reliable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian_Shooter Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Re: all bowhunters i need help if its not the broadhead it possible could be the vanes..if the vanes are wavy and not straight the y will tail whip...or if your vane is hitting your arrow rest it will do the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunting_boy Posted August 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Re: all bowhunters i need help the fletching is strait up and down and the broad hed is opening in the air i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtBowhunter Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Re: all bowhunters i need help What kind of head is it? Sounds to me like you have something on your bow out of tune.......Check to see if the fletchings are touching the cables on take off. If that's not it then it sounds like it could be your rest out of center. An arrow won't fishtail if a broadhead opens......it will plane steadily to one side, not back and forth.

hunterfisherman Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Re: all bowhunters i need help maybe catching something on the bow. You might want to take it to a shop and have a different set of eyes look at it. Never hurts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
