    Love the Swhacker 2 blade heads but recently got in a pack of the 3 blades and found that the practice head does not fly like a field tip as advertised. The 2 blades are dead nuts, but the 3 blade is hitting about 3 -4" right and 1-2" high at 30 yrds (much worse at 40). Tried switching arrows with the same results. Anyone have a similar experience? Could it be the bow needs tuning?

    I ordered an additional set of 3 blade practice heads trying to give swhacker the benefit of the doubt, but for now the 2 blades stay in the quiver. Maybe a bad/off balanced practice tip? Any additional tests I could run to prove these things out?

    Make sure your bow is properly tuned before blaming the broadhead.

    If there mechanicals, go back to the 2 blade version. If I wanted to be bothered bare shaft or broadhead tuning, Id use fixed heads, since I don't I use 2 blade mechanicals..No good reason to use mechanical if you tune the bow properly..
