    G5 Striker broadheads come with 2 washers on each broadhead.
    1 brass washer followed by 1 steel washer come on each broadhead. Then in a seperate bag, are another set of brass washers. No istruction as to what they are for or how to set them up.
    Putting them on Carbon Express Hunter arrows.

    I have set them up adding 1 of the extra brass washers on each broadhead / arrow and they seem to work fine.

    Just wondered how they are supposed to be set up?

    Too much time to think about stuff in the tree stand. :)

    I have shot them for a while, I usually just put the blades in em, and use the brass washer to sandwhich everything together agains the insert in the arrow, seems to work fine for me, I could of swore I read somewhere that they give you the extra washers to index the blades with the vanes, but I have no idea, I just use the brass washer and have no issues what so ever. I hope this helps.

    Makes sense, I may try that after the season is over, they are shooting well now so don't want to mess things up.
    Thanks

    Those are spare washers. When you hit something solid, the brass washers are designed to dent. When this happens, you need to put on new ones.
