I've seen on a few videos and heard that its best to line ur 3 blade fixed broadheads up so the blades are in the same position as ur vanes or fletching. I can understand that this probably helps with flight and accuracy but am curious as to how much of a difference it actually makes. I wonder because there are 4 blade fixed broadheads that its impossible to line up for obvious reasons. Just wondering if any of y'all see or have noticed a difference in accuracy between ur 3 blades being lined up or not?
I can't tell any difference. I would set them to best clear the riser with one blade perpendicular to the riser if contact is an issue.
No contact isn't a prob at all was just curious if it actually made that much of a difference. I shoot MX-3s that aren't lined up and shoot them very well. Was just wondering if maybe lining them up would make even tighter groups for me. I figured it probably didn't make that much of a difference but thought id bring it up. Thx MuzzyMan
what he said x2, just something that sounds good but has no merit. Look to the things that do matter...like spin testing arrows and broad heads, making sure components are 100% alined perfectly....and finally group your hunting arrows and make sure no fliers end up in your quiver.
when you see that in a video or hear someone say it then it is usually a good hint that they do not know what they are talking about and you should stop the video or the conversation.
Yeah I definitely spin test and all that. Like to make sure I'm doing my very best out there. Thx for the responses guys
Ever tried shooting one that didn't spin true? If you are correctly spined and weighted, you may be surprised how little difference even that makes... depending on the amount of wobble of course. I suspect it would affect penetration so I don't shoot wobbly arrows but I wouldn't obsess about it either.
Nope never tried it. All my arrows seem to spin true and are squared. I agree with you in the fact that it would prob affect penetration.
