I have a problem of sorts it seems as though my tree sharks cause a distraction or something. I was thinking about trying a nice 3 blade this year anyone else have this problem?

Exactly when I get into my draw I have to try and look past the head

try rotating the head with a washer (screw in) or heat and reseat (glue on) to where it leaves your vision or actually help with aiming

Just turn them until they are flat. They fly better for me that way. LCH

If you're an instinctive shooter, just mount the Simmons horizontally.

i mount mine vertical so if I over draw they will bump my finger slightly.... whatever is least distrating is way to go...or focus more on the target spot [Smile]

The longer I hunt deer the bigger my broadheads get, they are not hard to penetrate if properly hit and my enthusiasm for pin drop blood trails has waned with time. [archer2]

If you're right handed, mounting them at the 2 o'clock / 8 o'clock position will allow the bow and your hand to mostly block the head from view. If left handed you'd need the 10 o'clock / 4 o'clock position. Mounting this way has helped me with the large two blades.

With a large Snuffer you can accomplish much the same thing if you mount the top blade at about 1 o'clock.

I shoot big broadheads and I have found that the more practice I do with them the better I shoot.
