Broadhead Flight Problems

[eastside boy]

alwinearcher do you have a recomended size of fletching ??

[shoot-em-dead]

I would bet that your broadhead diameter is larger than the diameter of your arrow. Go buy some broadheads that are the same diameter and you will not tell the difference between them or your field tips.

I have never heard or seen anything like that.. Almost all broadhead shank diameters are going to be 5/16" and won't make any diffrent on flight as long as the broadheads are tuned to spin straight.

As far as fletch size recomendations. I prefer a 2" high profile vane like a blazer, vanetec HP, or AAE max hunter.

Just happened to me this year- I tried new broadheads and they were a larger diameter. The arrows do not fly straight and there is no possibility of consistency.

What arrows and what broadheads? are you sure that is what caused it?

Was having the exact same issue with my set up.  Stopped by the bow shop to try some slick tricks thinking my broadheads were causing the issue.  Ends up last year when the shop had put a new rest on for me that they didn't paper tune it, but they told me they had, and I took their word for it.  We checked some stuff out and shot paper -  and sure enough, my rest needed moved.  Did that and then aligned the blades with the vanes and problem solved, consistant hits out to 60 with broadheads/ field points.

u need to check your center shot alignment, and make shure your knock level is good, last is shoot through paper.

i dont shoot my bows throught paper i shoot a field point and then a broadhead and move the rest or nock point to move the broadhead to the field point. if the bhead hits right move the rest left a bit until they impact the same. then move the sight to where the arrows are going.

I always paper tune for a perfect bullet hole.  I always get the same impact point with broadheads as I do field points.

Are you sure they didnt paper tune it? over a years time a bow can get WAY out of tune..

if u paper tune your bow u shouldnt have a issue with different impact, with field tips and broad heads.....u need to always check ur timing of bus cabels, string stretch.

Thats assuming that you have your arrows spined perfectly.  If you cant get your arrow to Bare shaft tune, you prob wont get your broadeads and field points to group.
