Arrow and Broadheads?

[KiLLAcOuEs]

I use a Mechanical Broadhead, Swhacker 2" 100gr. and I was wondering how important it is to line up the chisel blades with the Fletching on the arrow? If important at all?

Nope. It won't effect the arrow flight. Should fly like a field tip no matter how the blades are in relationship to the fletching

Thanks for the Info CouesBuck!

Orienting fixed blade broadheads used to be pretty important when everyone was shooting straight fletches, but even that doesn't make much difference anymore w/ helical fletching. If your arrow is spinning, it'll true up & hit pretty consistent, as long as the arrow is leaving the bow reasonably straight & not fishtailing all over the place.

Did not know that Mattys281 I thought for sure when using fixed blade Broadheads you had to line them up with the fletchings. Good info, Good to know! I probably will still line them up when using fixed blades though just in case haha!

I usually line them up, so that they'll fit in the quiver without the fletchings contacting each other, but have shot them at various orientations & noticed no grouping issues w/ helical fletching.

In theory it shouldn't make a different but there is nothing wrong with doing it... Just for consistency sake...

sometimes i shoot 4 fletch with 3 blade broadheads or 3 fletch with 4 blade broadheads, offset and helical both or whatever and i've never had any issues with mechanicals or fixed out of a truly tuned bow.
