Broadhead tuning help please!

Recommended Posts

Also, I have a 1/2doz of the same arrows that are about 1/4in shorter than the ones I've been using. Is that enough of a difference to affect the spine or not really noticeable?

A basic question....Have you spun your arrows to ensure you have no wobble? If your broadhead isnt squared up on your arrow(proper insert seating) it is flying thru the air crooked. So many people just screw on bheads and start flinging. I spin check every arrow until all spin like a top. This usually requires switching bheads from arrow to arrow sometimes because they are not always true either.If you have wobble you can heat up and rotate your insert to get a better seat. Spine is a factor as well as timing. bad form (bow torque),cable slide to close to vanes....A lot of variables

Do walkback tuning to set arrow rest centershot. Then fine tune rest as you have done b4 tour bh to get close to fp. Then move the group as a whole with you sight back to the intended point of aiming. Some bow arrow combos will never group exact. Good luck :)

Yeah, I was stressing out way too much and running out of time before archery started so I just took my block out to the range and sighted in for y BHs... As long as I can put one where it matters, that's all that matters! I'll just re-sight in for FPs after javelina season. I've already convinced my wife I'm going to get my own newer bow for my birthday this summer!

Assuming the rest is on centerline of the bow and the nock point is square to the string, about 90% of the broadhead problems I've dealt wkith have turned out to be me either flinching or torqueing the bow. Make sure the shooter is not the problem before fiddling with the bow.

Walk back tuning consists of shooting at one spot on the target from various yardages using the same point of aim (20 yard pin for example). Shoot the same spot from 20 through 50 yards or so. Tuning issues will show a slight diagonal spread, usually getting further from center the farther back you go. Make minute adjustments to your rest until your arrows are lining up vertically with as little horizontal spread as possible. All this assumes decent consistent form while shooting. Hope this helps!
