My beielf was that the spin on the arrow helps the broadhead fly better.... kind of like the rifling in a gun barrel. Is this not right?I've shot compound for some timeusing Muzzy 3 blades. But with the xbow they just did not group. I changed heads and now have decent grouping... still not quite what I'm looking for but good enough.
I don't think they need much rotation. I believe the offset required is in the order of just a few degrees. Like I've said earlier, I've experimented with different straight and helical offsets and haven't seen a difference in accuracy. But then again, I rarely shoot off a bench.
