Broadhead problem

[D-Rock425]

For a second I thought you where coming to your senses wishful thinking on my part.

I can let you try some of my arrows, I have both 340 and 400 so it will put the spine issue to rest. I shoot G5 montecs in 100 grain, I've never got muzzy's to fly right but I have had luck with the magnus stingers.

BROADHEAD TUNE!

BROADHEAD TUNE!

[sakoshooter]

OK, I'm on my 5th set of broadheads and none of them are flying right.  What else could be the problem?  My field points are dead on.  I spin test every arrow after putting on a BH and they are good.  I've tried Muzzy 3 blade 100 gn and 125gn, Magnus stingers 100gn and 125gn, and NAP Hellrazor 100gn.

What the hell?  I'm not made of money and can't keep going through brand after brand.  There has to be something else going on.

Shooting an Archery Research AR-34 set at 28" draw.  Have had it set from 40lbs all the way up to 67lbs.  Everytime I change a draw weight (due to shoulder injury, I've had to go from heavy to lighter), I've had it tuned.  I'd blame the arrows except, like I said, field points hit within an inch or 2 at 20 yards.  BH go low/right, low/left, high/center, completely missing the target, and all points in between.

Hey Double J, Check out this link: http://archeryhistory.com/archerytalk/The_Nuts&Bolts_of_Archery.pdf
Go to Chapter 6, Shot Tuning. After a quick paper tune, go to Walk Back Tuning. Your field point arrows will fly better plus your broadhead arrows will fly pretty darn close to your field points. Hope it helps ol buddy.

Using a different broadhead will be a waste of money.

For the price of the NAPs you can probably buy an Arizona EZ Fletch and do your own.  If I can do it, you can.  Superglue, beer, and some directions off the internet.

Are the quickfletches helical or straight?  You don't need four vanes, but it won't hurt.  Just depends on if you can still get vane clearance with four.  Three 4" vanes with a decent offset and helical will stabilize any of those broadheads just fine.

First thing you should do is bareshaft to check spine, then check for vane contact, then have a buddy shoot your bow.

You'll get it figured out.

Slight helical.  Not much, just enough to notice.  And I have a Hostage rest that I LOVE LOVE LOVE.  Only 3 gaps on it.

[DoubleJ]

Right now, it's at 67lbs and arrow spine is .400 on 26" shafts.  Broadheads are dead on from 10 yards to 50 yards.  With points, they don't wobble in the air, just spin.  With the BH, they wobble and the ones that hit the target often hit at an angle

I believe that at 67 lbs. a 340 spine is better suited for  a 26-29 inch shaft.

I've been using the Wolverine Hunter 60/70 from Wal Mart.  Never had this issue in the past.  In fact, I loved them last year and earlier this year.  Using the same ones from last year.

Were you able to tune broadheads last year?

Do you know how to tune for broadheads?

Have you had someone watch your form?

I'm thinking a form issue that might be exacerbated by slightly weak spine and not much helical.

I had a hostage rest that came with my bow.......field points shot great.......broadheads flew like crap.....with the slight helical try turning the nock slightly clockwise so the cock vane sits at about 11oclock. It was the only thing that helped cure the vane clearance issue I was having.......that is until I got a QUAD drop away rest. I liked the original hostage so much originally that I upgraded to the hostage pro. Good rests but a pain to tune if using any helical. Also check to see that your brushes arent too worn. The bottom brush can wear out pretty quickly.

Some great advice and offers on here, you'll get it figured out. If you were closer I would offer to help figure it out. Good luck.

Sounds like you need to tune the b/h to the vains on the arrow, just look it up on the net, worked for me.

Aligning broadhead blades to vanes on an arrow does absolutely nothing to affect arrow flight... it does help them fit in the quiver better though.

Already done.  Did not help.

gold tip 22 series shafts and you wont have any back bone issues. i have shot them through 3 different bows and i havent had  any issues from field points to broadheads .some folks say im shooting logs but i have never shot a deer or elk and not passed through the animal.

I did not read every post I am not sure if this was brought up but it sounds like u need to index. sounds like your broad head and fletching are fighting each other. line the blades and fletchings up i bet it flys stright.

I had the same issue. I was shooting 400 @ 65lb's and field point shoot well but broadhead were anywhere but on target.
It wasn't a tuning issue with the bow, just to weak spine.
I went to  340's and bingo! Dead on.
