Bleeder question
«

I'd posted before that I'm just getting back into traditional hunting and broadheads I'm using are the old Bear Razorheads as I still had about 3 dozen. I can't remember if I tested my broadheads with or without the bleeder way back when and now that I'm just over a week before season I'm wondering if I should leave them off or if they will affect the arrow flight at all. I didn't test with them on since they are a little tougher to get hold of and now I've already sharpened my broadheads and hate to start over. Any input would be appreciated.

When I was using them years ago, I and others, practice without the bleeders and put them in when we went hunting. I never noticed any change in flight, point of impact, etc. after putting them on the broadheads. They only weigh 10 grains and functionally that added weight meant nothing in terms of affecting accuracy.

They don't affect the flight for me, just make sure the heads are mounted straight and spin without any wobble .

I did shoot all of my hunting arrows with the broadheads mounted and they all flew true, I just wasn't sure about the bleeders. I got bit on my last traditional hunt years ago. It was the first time I'd ever used wood arrows and I bough Snuffer glue ons but I only test fired a couple of them. I ended up getting a shot at a forked horn mulie and the arrow looked like I'd thrown a screw ball and broke right and up going over the middle of the bucks back. I later found I hadn't got it glued straight, after that lesson I pay alot more attention to my broadhead flight.

Just make sure the bleeders are in straight, the Bear bleeders can torque if not seated properly which can result in erratic flight.
If the bleeders are properly inserted, assuming your bow is tuned (sounds like it is) you'll find they fly very, very well as a 4 blade.
