Well earlier this summer I made the switch over from the 4" QuikSpins to the 2.25" version because I was having some minor clearance issues with my new QuikTune360 rest. I was very impressed with the way they shot and was convinced I would be hunting with them this fall. Then I put my broadheads on.

After a couple of shots I knew something was wrong. My arrows seemed to be fishtailing and kicking out a bit, but in no specific manner time and time again. Sometimes they would all fly okay, sometimes a few of them woud fly okay and one would hit the target at an off angle, and then sometimes they would all fly goofy.

My initial thoughts were that my bow was out of tune so I tried putting the field points on and shooting it through paper, and I was getting a very slight off tear so I adjusted my rest until I was shooting bullet holes, then went back to the broadheads. They shot a little better, but I was still getting a few off arrows every now and again that were kicking out, not hitting anywhere near where I was aiming, or just flying strange. I spin tested my arrows and everything looked good so I couldn't quite figure out what the heck the problem was.

Later that night I just had an off notion to refletch some of my arrows with the 4" QuikSpins and see what happened. So I made three of them up quick and Sunday morning went out and shot. Within 5 minutes I was dialed in and shooting awesome out to 30 yards. No strange arrow flight, no stray arrows. To say it was a huge relief considering the season starts this Saturday is an understatement. I shot for a solid hour to make sure things were good, then went home and refletched all of my arrows. Bring on October 1!

So yeah, that's my story for today. I guess the little QuikSpins just couldn't stabilize my arrow well enough w/the broadheads on. That's really the only thing I can think of. Just an FYI I'm shooting 27" ACC 3-60's with a 100 gr 2 blade Stinger.
