I know on a fixed blade broadhead the blades and the fletchings are suposed to be aligned for propper arrow flight. What about mechanicals? Reason I am asking is I bought mechanicals at the end of last season and have not tried them out yet. I was going to head everyones advise on here. Wait till closer to the season, use dental floss to hold down the blades and shoot into a cheap foam target. I have everything needed but I am going to wait till late August.
What sights do you have on your bow? Brand, number of pins and yardages. Just curious as to what everyone else is using. I have a cheap True Glo That has 5 pins. I will eventually upgrade but this one does great for now. Pins are set at 20, 30, 40, 50, 75. 50 and 75 are only for target. I will not shoot a deer with this bow at more than 40.
Its not nessesary to align your head to your fletchings for propper arrow flight , the most important procedure is to spin test your broadheads and make sure there is no wobble if there is it wont fly with a perfect one , thats the purpose of the G5 straightening / squaring tool , to true up the ends of your cut shafts and your inserts after glued in , to spin test your broadheads you dont need any fancy tool all you need to do is stand your arrow up on end on a hard surface , cup your hand around the shaft and spin it like a top , if there is any kind of wobble that switching heads around wont solve you need to purchace the G5 tool and straghten out and square your insert as long as the end of the cut shaft isnt to bad , a true spinning head is the most important thing .......
Personally, I'd recommend listening to Hoosier Daddy. Nobody coulda put that any better. The key isn't alignment but straightness!
