mag1 Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 I now this is alittle late to be having some of these issues, but, better late than never. I've been getting some odd arrow flight. Here's my setup. 02 Hoyt Magna Tec, set at 68lbs, 29" draw, Trophy taker rest, Tru-fire huricane release, CC 400 series arrows at 30", 100grain field tips and G5 Montecs. last year I paper tuned, shooting great. This year I made a couple of changes: 1) moved peep site slighlty 2) creasted arrows with 4" duravanes. Shooting out to 20yds, everything seems to shoot great. At 30, 35, 40, 45, it seems that I'm starting to get some erratic flights, especially the further out you get. I have 2 arrows with illuminocks, and at 35-45, they seem to be spiralling about a straight line to the target, more noticible as you get out at the further distances. they still hit within 3-5" of aimed spot. When shoting broadhead, after 20yrds, the arrows are starting to drop 2-3", and I'm now getting a whislting off the broadheads. Could I have to much weight on the back of the arrows? (Crest, illuminocks?) I have a 125 grain field tip and a 125grain muzzy broadhead that a buddie is letting me try to see if that helps? Any suggestions would be appricated.

craig mack Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Have you spin tested your arrows and broadheads? If you have a little wobble, your arrows will fly like that. I would paper tune it again and go from there. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mag1 Posted October 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 I havn't spin tested. Is that easy to do? Any good threads on that subject? I'll also retry the paper tune. The crest's slightly overlap, roughly 1/32-1/16, would that affect them? (I would think that might show up in spin testing) thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeNRA Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 I havn't spin tested. Is that easy to do? Any good threads on that subject? I'll also retry the paper tune. The crest's slightly overlap, roughly 1/32-1/16, would that affect them? (I would think that might show up in spin testing) thanks Find a hard surface and gently spin the broadhead on that surface. If you see any kind of wobble during the spin, your broadhead is not square on the shaft. Could also be that the shaft itself is not true. Could also be the insert too. The G5 ASD tool might help correct this. Do this to all your shafts that have BH's on. I square the shaft before and after installing inserts. Another thing you can try is to start switching BH's from other arrows to see which BH spin true on certain shafts. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
