broadhead flight?
« on: September 20, 2009, 01:24:00 AM »
I adjusted a 2 blade broadhead to be -parallel- to the ground after my cant and it soared 3 ft above my target at 15 yards. I had been shooting consistent with the blade horizontal before my cant. I was trying to improve my view.  Any ideas?  Josh

3' at 15 yards is crazy. Is it doing that more than once?  That should not make that do that in my opinion.

Sounds like you were sub-consciously using the top of the blade to aim.  Now you're using some other reference.  You're brain will correct for it if you keep shooting.

Does it spin true?    Sounds like it may be very crooked....

That's what I was thinking.I'm trying to mount up some 1 1/2" wide four blades I just got and they seem to hit very low for me @ 15.I spun them and they are maybe 1/16 off.

It shouldn't matter how you mount them..if it does, you have spine problems.

I'm with George. I never even look at mine. They're all different.
That's not the problem.

I only shot once after almost sending it into the neighbors yard averted by a wood fence.  It spun great before this.  I checked everything over and the blade is loose on the insert a tad.  I set that broadhead aside and put the other heads back in their original spot and no problems.  Thanks,  Joshua
