Good Arrow Flight with Broadheads

[Longbow1953]

Looking for a good 2 or 3-blade broadhead for wood arrows that will fly good.  I've tried Snuffer 125 gr. 3-blade and old Bear Razorhead.  I'm not getting good arrow flight from either one.  I'd like opinions on Woodsman.  Also interested in Steel Force 125 gr. 2-blade.  Any other suggestions would be helpful.

If your not getting good flight it might not be the broad head.

What kind of bow and specs on it like weight, string material, your draw length, arrow weight, point weight, length of arrow.

I think that Bear Razorheads have been one of the most accurate to shoot broadheads ever made. I suspect that if you cannot get it to shoot well then it is mounted incorrectly or you are shooting the wrong spined arrows. However, the Woodsman heads are among the best for shooting accuracy. I think that the STOS two blade is also a very accurate head as well as the Mag II 125 two blade.

It seems to me since my switch to trad eaquiment, I have found arrow flight to be very forgiving out of trad bows. It seems if the arrow is the correct spine for the bow, any broadhead seems to shoot like a field point. I have been shooting magnus two blades with great results, but I think its more of a tuning thing than it is a particular broadhead. Look more closely at your setup, like nock height and arrow spine before condemning certain broadheads.

I like the eclipse ---just a bugur to sharpen, but are cheap enough to experiment with.

First of all, have you got your field tip arrows flying perfectly? Do you shoot good groups with them? I suspect you have a tuning problem. Next, Are your broadheads mounted so that they spin perfectly true and straight? I would check arrow spine, point mounting, and fletching what is your set up for fletching? I like a 5 or 5.5" feather mounted helical. There are a lot of variables with broadhead flight, Those are only a few. Those heads you mentioned should be no problem to get to shoot well. The head is the first thing people look at when it should be fine if it's on straight.

The most important element is correct spine. If you have the perfect spine, almost any broadhead that is on the shaft straight will fly well. Experience has proven to me that a field point of the same weight as a broadhead will require a longer shaft (weaker spine) than required for the broadhead. The extra length of the broadhead, the weight more forward, requires a shaft of about 1/2" shorter (stiffer) for excellent flight. This is especially true with longer broadheads such as STOS or Wensels.
