Authur P touched on some thing a lot of people don't relize. The nature of a three blade broadhead isn't to wind plane, four baldes will. The way to counter wind plane in a four blade is to make it look like an X when the arrow is on the string. If you make it look like this + it has wings and will fly your arrow. But the old view of four blades four fletch isn't true. I have been using 3 vane/ 4 blade for years and they shoot like darts. But I am not lining up vanes and braodhead either, just setting up the broadhead so it doesn't plane.

Hi gselkhunter
I'm not a very experienced bow shooter so if I sound like I don't know what i'm talking about that may be true. I shoot 4 blade Magnus Stingers so your post caught my eye.
I see what you are saying about the planing and starting the arrowhead looking like an X and not a +. But isn't the arrow spinning right off the bow? That would change the profile almost immediately wouldnt it?.
Even if it didnt spin, wouldnt theplanning then be at 45 degree angles rather than90 and 180?
Just trying to get a grasp on theX vs + thought.....Thanks
