What's going on??
« on: July 12, 2011, 11:44:00 AM »
Why does my 125 gr.Magnus 4 blade drop 3" from my point of impact lower than my 145 gr. field points? I am trying to learn 2 or 4 blade heads. ( I've only used 3 wensel woodies or snuffers). so.. when I shot @ my target in the backyard (15 yds) the bh had a hump in the flight and DROPPED !! No Matter the how the blade was positioned, Flat-vertical-45 etc..What the bleep isgoin on?

It is probably a tuning issue as L82HUNT says,meaning nocking point height.A fetched field point arrow may not show slight problems where a broadhead will magnify a tuning issue.When the broadhead impacts with the field point,you are tuned.Go to bowmaker.net and read the bow tuning information.You may only need to move the nocking point a small fraction,1/16" or less.

WELL Boys' your partly right. Nock was a little high. Major problem was shooting a arra that was not mine--Same make, same lenght,Buut had 3x5" fletch.Mine are 3x4,this one had a 9" capwrap .Mine don't..Mine have been tuned to my bow.Apparently this one isn't.Took a Bh test to reveal that fact. Funny how one subtle change can have such a HUGE impact..Now field points and BH Have same POI.Gotta refletch some...LOL. Thank's to ALL for the help.. Let that little trash nabber come back tonite BWAAA HAHAHA.  :campfire:

For me broadheads are the final step in arrow tuning. It doesn't take much to make a "perfectly" tuned arrow with a practice point to do weird things when a broadhea is  attached....especially a wide two blade.
