I had my Longbow out last night and decided to shoot one of my broadheads (yes i sharpened it afterwards) and I swear these things curve to the left. I shot both the BH and field point and can watch the arrow curve left with the broadhead. it is still hitting in the kill zone at 15 yards, my personal limit, but it is just wierd to me that it woul curve like that. CX 100gr 4 blade on a carbon arrow, FPs are the same weight. any thoughts?
When you say curved left, what exactly do you mean? Do you mean the impact is center mass and the nock is left of center?
I know that on my wood arrows with 2 blades I will shoot them the reheat and rotate my broadheads until I get them flying right,but on carbons I just don't know
Hard to know for sure. But it sounds like you're describing "Planing" Usually caused by the Broadhead taking control of guiding the arrow rather than the fletching.. which is supposed to guide the arrow. Could be a combination of wrong arrow or incorrect tune. Chris
With carbon arrows I will put a small rubber "o" ring so I can turn the broadhead to fly right and the broadhead will stay in place.
I always shot two blades with the blades horizontally. Try turning the blades. If that doesn't work you may need bigger fletching. Do you use 5" feathers?
