Broadhead alignment ?
« on: July 09, 2008, 08:29:00 PM »
Does it make a difference in arrow accuracy if my broadheads are aligned with my feathers or not ?
What do you guys think ?

Thanks
Bob

I think not.  I mount my 2 blades horizontal and three blades one up and two down.  I find the two blades to shoot more consistent for me that way.  The three blades I just want to be the same.

Honestly I don't believe it makes much difference.  For some people it's a mental thing, because it changes the shot picture a bit... on occasion I'll forget what I'm doing and mount one horizontal (I usually do vertical).  It's weird to shoot it the first couple of times, but once I get past that they shoot fine.

I mount large two blades horizontal to just get them out of my sight picture.With 3 blades I just screw them in and don't worry about where they land.As long as the bow is tuned it really does not matter with 3 blades at the speeds most of us shoot with trad bows.
....Quality deer management means shooting them before they get tough....

I mount my broadheads so the arrow spins true. Its alignment on the shaft doesn't seem to make a difference to me.     Pat

i mount mine horizontally. reason being, that if i make a poor release the b/head will catch less air because of the poor paradox movement. that's my theory, don't know if it makes any difference. point is i like to have my b/heads aligned the same because i try to eliminate as many variables as possible.
