2 Blade BH planning in block target?

[Cavscout9753]

Well, it's looking very much like I will be at least good enough with my Don Dow LB this season to  be ethical. It was for me a frustrating and long journey from my curve to a longbow. At least the Stik is a forgiving and smooth shooter - allows for longer practice sessions. I made up some surewoods and they fly wonderful, durable and hit with a good energy. My biggest problem currently is my 2 blades eskimos. I try not to "peek" at my shots and just follow through. Aside from fatigue robbing me of some good releases, all looks well. But when the broadhead hits my Rhinehart they seem to go a little..."jenky". It almost seems as if when they hit they plane, resulting in some odd nock locations. Has anyone seen this? My guess is a 3 blade wouldnt do this. My field points go straight in, and I've turned my BH's on a craddle, they're on there darn straight. Maybe the combination of the dense foam and 2 blade is causing weird readings?

I usea foam target and my two blades go straight in.......may be density issue ?

Hmm. My shots are slightly uphill (my backyard is just a big hill). Maybe that has something to do with it. I don't know, maybe I'll just try re-setting the heads, maybe try verticle rather than horizontal mount, though i'm not overly convinced BH orientation matters much but maybe the solid body eskimo's are affected by it. Haha I'm so darn close too, closer than I have been in years to having a truely reliable, solid set up.

If they are flying well I wouldn't mess with them.  On a real critter they will go right thru.

Is it layered? May be following the joint between layers if so....

I'm an idiot. I inputed the data wrong in the calc. My arrows were a full inch longer than needed. My guess is the error still allowed the field points to fly well but, as they always seem to, the BH's tell no lies for a bad tune. Trimmed down arrows, reset heads, and now they're going as they should.  Can't wait. Fixing the lessons learned from last year and this year has got me excited. No tree stand, I was a slave to that thing which resulted in watching more deer than shooting them, new bow that I can practice for hours with, etc.

Cool!!

Kennym: no, its a rhinehart block. I do find that when an arrow goes in around the crack for the removable center core the arrows go nuts so I just ignore those readings. Im happy. A full inch made a lot of difference.
