This cracks me up people actually think there is a best flying Broadhead, what a hoot!!!

I also thought tradgang members would know better than this, I guess not.

There are some variables that could make differences.  A tuned wood arrow in different conditions can behave differently than an excessive weight forward carbon.  The fletching requirements can be different, the balance will be different, the way strong cross currents affect it will be different.  With all of those variations various heads of different weights and designs can respond differently.  A perfectly made and tuned arrow in a zero wind environment will be no guarantee of what that arrow will do if it is bucking some bumpy sideways air.  Of course, in today's 20 yards and under carbon arrow shooter, those longer shots in a higher wind which were more common out west in previous archery times are not part of many bowhunters' experience today.

Pearson Deadheads take some doing even a tuned shaft-they really like being o straight. Like eskimos and woodsman

I have shot a number of deer with the large Deadheads. I do not remember them giving me a flight problem, I did have one not track through a deer straight, it looked like the head hit with blades horizontal.  The deer was angled by the time the arrow hit. The path the arrow traveled in the deer was diverted. I imagine the spoon shape of the head did not help, but it left a huge gash, which made the long blood trailing job fairly easy. One of those hits when an 85 pound bow with a stuffed Microflite made a major difference.  To get heads on straight I like to use a roller jig to check them.  Spinning is a check as well, but the roller jig tells me which way a wobbly head needs to go.
