RE: Do you align broadheads w/ fletchings or not
To follow up on my thoughts.....
If you think of nascar and the draft....a car benefits when in the draft regardless of the distance back from the lead car (within reason). All cars are the same shape.
Now apply this to an arrow. The blades on a three blade broadhead are acting like the lead car. But....the draft created could only be utilizedtoit's maximumif the vanes were the same height and in the same position as the broadhead blades.
So, with helical....how would you align to utilize the draft? You can't.
So, with offset....how would you align to utilize the draft? You would have to use a broadhead with offset blades. (how many BH's have offset blades?)
So, how many people (to gain maximum benefit from the draft) use straight fletch?IMO, straight fletchis pretty useless for stabilizing a broadhead.
