Arrows selection for hunting.
« on: August 19, 2008, 02:35:53 AM »
Today I took Todd Id's advice, I numbered my nine new arrows left of my dozen ( been practicing with 3 ) and shot each arrow at fifty yards with a broadhead. Low and behold two of them were off center. I tried three different broadheads on those two arrows, spin test, nock alignment & they always hit the same. One a foot low and one eight inches left every time. The vane is askew on one and the other has a crooked cut at insert. Both look minor, but really affect arrow flight. The arrows are ics hunter elite with G-5 broadheads bought at Rainer archery (Wonder if they will replace them ?)  The moral of the story is it would of sucked to shoot one of these at animals this year ! >:(
My seven arrows left have new broadheads, spun tested and ready to go, I have the best four in my quiver. Thanks Todd, great advice again. I also have my Montana decoy set up just as you pictured from my other question. Wish you lived closer I'd definitely buy you a beer. Mike

HAHAHA.  Glad to be of some help once in a while.  You never know when we'll meet on a mountain top, and I'll take you up on that cold one!
Bring a GPS!  It's awkward to have to eat your buddies!
