Broadhead question

[buckfvr]

I still favor the XX78 super swage 2213 ( two dozen ready to roll, one dozen new uncut ), X7s,  and 60lb limbs.  Give me a longer ATA and brace height and keep your speed.  Should never have sold the Q2XL, but the Icon is a great easy shooter also.

Right now I'm at 70 and if I reduce it 5 pounds, I should be well within legal limits using 340 or 400 spine arrow right? And it might make my FT and BH group better?

only way to know legality for sure is to weigh your arrows with bh's.   70 pounds requires 420 grains (27.2155 grams),  65 pounds requires 390 grains (25.2716 grams).

I just wanted to update and thanks for everyone for there advice especially RadSav. I finally had someone look at it who knew what they were doing and had it tuned. My cam timing was off pretty badly. The guy who worked on it works for limbsaver and is building me some carbon express 350 spine arrows. The biggest thing for me was my draw stop pins were set way to far forward and I wasn't even getting quite to full draw. This made it hard to hold at full draw after awhile because there was no let off. I didn't really realize this until I shot my girlfriends new bow. I couldn't let up at all or it would try to jump out of my hands. now it has great let off and feels way more stable in my hands. As for broadheads, I dind't shoot any tonight. I got it sighted back in with field tips and I'm going to shoot broadheads starting tomorrow. I have a feeling they're going to shoot a little better. Thanks again for all the advice everyone.

Glad to hear things are coming along.  Everyone I have met at Sims has been helpful and terrific.  Glad you were able to hook up with someone there and get things set up right.  Carbon Express 350's   That should be so much better for your setup. 

Really sounds like you are making some good decisions.  Good luck!

What pound draw are you shooting? Sounds like you are under spined to me.....When I first got my bow, I made the mistake of trusting the guy behind the counter......he sold me 400 spined arrows....I went to broadhead tune and it was impossible! Started looking at everything........finally figured out that I needed to be shooting 340 spined arrows. Got some new arrows and was broadhead tuned the next day!
Where are you located...lots of members on here willing to help fellow hunters whenever possible.

I shoot 400's at 73lbs draw with 100gr Montec G5's and love 'em!

I find it refreshing that solutions were found without everyone trying to be an expert..very nice..thank you. What a good read! I have been tuning bows now for a while, and most "poor groups" and so forth are from the arrows selected. One of the best tools I have is Archers Advantage..love it. Ive also learned a great deal from guys like Radsav over the years, and still learning from others.

I got my arrows that I had built today. I told him to suprise me but make them easy to see. I didn't quite expect this but I gues I can live with it  They're carbon express predator 2 6075 @ 29". I'm excited to put broadheads on them and shoot tomorrow. After having my bow tuned and all that, my BH's were still shooting way low. So if I have this problem with the new arrows, I'm just gonna sight in with my BH's and only shhot them until after season. It's way to close to opening day to be messin with this stuff.

Definately colorful

They will stand out!!!

If they are hitting low adjust your rest up a about 1/8". And see if that brings your BH's up with your field points. Adjusting for elevation is super easy. It's the left and right that is more difficult. How is the windage are the broadheads still hitting left or are they inline with your field tips.

Here is another head that flies true and is seriously deadly ....My friend has killed elk and deer with ease using a 100 gr Nitron ...tough and reliable ... We just prefer the smaller heads since we have dropped enough sheet with them to know something is going down .... figured I would change it up a little that's all

This year i took my Broadhead arrow tuning to an extreme.  I first got an ez fletch arizona jig for 45 bucks shipped online.  Two colors of blazer vanes and a vane stripper.  Then i bought a pack of bemans 340 ics hunters.  I stripped the arras of the 3- 4" vanes.  Plugged both ends and floated it in my tub.  The consistantly bottom side becomes the top of all arras.  I added 4- 2" vanes in line with all blades on the broadhead i shoot 4 blade slick trick mags.  I glue my knock so i never have to worrie about it spinning.  My arras leave my bow the same every shot giving consistant flight.  The resistance is considerably less if broadhaeds are lined up with the vanes.  I get my good shafts with broadheads to fly as consistant if not better than field points.  Some say it does nothing but id tell them they should give it a go.  I get consistant groups of 4-5" at 60 meters with broad heads.  Or it could of been the spine lol.  Good luck this season.
